Moyletts: Pub in Hackney, London

Moyletts is a food venue in E5, and its programming runs on the slower side of London's calendar. Think listening sessions and table games rather than big nights out. The events here suggest a room built for staying put. Expect a mixed crowd. Some people come for the food, some for the music, and some for a long game of chess with someone who becomes a regular. That mix is the point. Nobody needs to know the rules of the evening to enjoy it. If you like places where conversation starts easily, this is a good one to pick. Go with a friend, order something, and let the night set its own pace. If you want noise and spectacle, look elsewhere.
