Boxpark Shoreditch: Pub in London

Boxpark Shoreditch is a food venue first. Stalls and bars do most of the work, so the choice is mostly about what you fancy eating and drinking. It suits a loose evening. Friends meet here before heading somewhere else, or stay put for the night. It suits groups more than planners, and people who like to decide over a drink. The programming leans towards music. Expect club-style nights that pick up the energy of the room, with R&B among the styles they favour. Ask yourself what kind of night you want. If it is music, treat the food as the reason to arrive early and the sound as the reason to stay.
