The Dalston Jazz Bar, Kingsland

I've no idea what that last review is on about! I went last night and the bloke behind the bar was friendliness itself; he was dead helpful and chatty and gave the place a really nice atmosphere of relaxed welcome. I gather the downside is that it does get quite packed when it's in full swing but as it's not an immense place I think you'd have to expect that anyway. It's like someone's set it up in their front room, very ad hoc! (Albeit with plate glass windows surrounding.)And it has the benefit of being open until the small hours and offering reasonably priced drinks. I would definitely plan on going back.
