Rubbish Service, bring a book and a torch with you to read while you line up at the Bar. Make sure you hav plenty of pre-drinks on board to take the edge off and you may well survive a night here.

Over priced - pretentious and unfriendly bar staff (why???). I think they're on about closing the place down - good.

Keep on going to Shoreditch proper for something a bit better.

There are far better bars in the world than this place where the staff aren't overworked and rude and the drinks arent over priced.

I have been here a couple of times now and can only say that they dont have enough staff on the bar so expect to wait 20 mins or more to get a drink and expect that staff to be rude when you get there, you will then be ripped off, because they charge top end prices.

There is a campaign to save the light bar from developers, I say bin the bar, save the building.

Well, I had a bloody good time there. My girlfriend works just around the corner in the Tea building and goes there now and then for a spot of lunch.

I had the best time after watching the footie in the Pub on the Park. The group I was with went to the Light to see the magnificent David Mancuso for a really good time. There are some good views from the balcony and I ended up accidentally having a boogie with Dr.Truman off Eastenders, lol! Made some good contacts and my mate went missing for an hour downstairs after being accosted by two fat Brazilian hookers! Funny times!
