This place has not been revamped. Chic industrial style bar and restaurant . Good service too.

Rachel Roth

Recently reopened from a massive renovation, its terrace-only at the moment. Fantastic food, but surprisingly loud given the outdoor setting . Book in advance

Jack Smith

Originally The Great Eastern Electric Light Generating Station, and after being closed for the last 7 years, is now reopening under new ownership

Not sure if this place deserves its current rating here. Considering its location, it’s arguably a great choice for drinks, especially if you’re looking for an alternative to a pub .

James Norris

Bacon mushroom starter is one of the best dishes. Taste London card provides 50% off food during the week

Jack Smith

Consisting of The Yard outdoor terrace , Engine Hall bar & restaurant , Copper Bar and Timber Loft bar & restaurant .

Went there for my mate's bday drinks. Cool place. Awesome yard. Will be back.

Audrey BRUISSON

Nice and easy-going place to have a drink in shoreditch late night

Gary Joyce

Careful on a Sunday night. They sometimes close early and throw you out, and if you,be a tab open under a tenner they ask you to walk to the nearest cash machine for money

Rick Jensen

Lovely Fruli beer , best buy two at a time as they're only small bottles.

Justin Barton

After hours this place is a shit show, but if you like shit shows it's a big shit show. It has an old factory feel to it, also you can eat and drink outdoors if you so choose.

Slightly full of wankers, but beers are decent and the building is nice. Would recommend to slight wankers.

Scott Lamb

There are almost always bog trolls here, standing in the bathroom , trying to bully you into giving him money for a spritz of horrible aftershave . Ignore him and what he says.

Chlöe Wood

Come on a Friday, dj stace is amazing!

Gavin Duff

Get here early for lunch when it's sunny it fills up

Paul Dart

Haha, yeah full of wankers, doormen who thing its the dogs bollocks and bog trolls . Yeah. Won't be coming back here again.

Dan Hopchet ✨

restaurant food is delicious, good wine choice, but watch the prices

Morten Legarth

Walk past many times and promised myself I'd never go here... One promise I should have kept.

Nathan Del Gardo

Loads of ugly chavs on the pull on a Friday night. First bar after the train from Essex

Rob Cleaton

£10 minimum to pay by card, dicks

Steve Winchester

Roomy , good tunes , bar staff a bit moody! ;o)

@JoshiSidhu Shaan.org.uk

Don't bother going here. You CAN'T take alcoholic presents in. I.e. a bottle of champagne for someone's 30th. You CAN'T even take BOTTLE OF WATER in. Door staff/supervisor have vile attitude! #axe

Diana Kalsi

Nice cold beer in the sun.

Londonist

There's a man in the toilets selling aftershave . Thought that weird custom went out with the 1990s.

Paul Simbeck-Hampson

Chilled out location, not much happening at 3pm, sweet.

alfie dennen

The guy who ran the light bar now owns the wonderful brickhouse on brick lane

Gerardo

I confirm: wankers everywhere.

Nathan Del Gardo

Still full of wankers

María

The female bouncer is extremely RUDE

Stefan Erschwendner

Full of little investment bankers

Jules J

Awful. Avoid
