Kele the lead singer from Bloc Party once described this place as 'a vortext of evil' and yes if you were party to the amount of lock-ins that used to happen here it probably was. Owned by Vice magazine its an ex east end boozer turned hipster hang out that in my opinion is awesome.
Its scruffy inside and full of kids that make you realize how old you have become but its also a great place to let loose and have some fun.
They have live bands and DJs pretty much every night of the week and at the weekend you don't have to pay to get upstairs.
It is however a den of iniquity and its very likely that once there you will stay to the bitter end and regret everything the next morning although I see this as a testament to the music that the DJs and bands play.
