Pubs in Shoreditch

East London's creative heart beats loudest here, where old warehouses and Victorian terraces have been transformed into studios, galleries and bars. The streets around Brick Lane hum with energy most nights, drawing designers, musicians and office workers from the City just to the south. It suits groups looking for somewhere with options, or anyone happy to wander and see where the evening takes them.

The pubs reflect this variety. The Ten Bells on Commercial Street is a proper Victorian corner boozer with a dark past, serving burgers and draught beer in surroundings that would still be recognisable to its nineteenth-century customers. Williams Ale & Cider House offers exactly what the name promises, with burgers, pies and pizza alongside the drinks. For craft beer enthusiasts, Mikkeller Bar London brings a carefully curated tap list and bar snacks, while Liverpool Street Chop House & Tavern does steaks and pies with a beer garden.
