Nico's Bar at Hackney Bridge: Pub in London

Nico's Bar is a food venue in E15, and it's built around the table. Most of what you'll find here is eating-led, with the evening shaped by what's on the plate. The programming tends to come in numbered series. That means you can go back and see how a series develops. It suits people who like getting to know a room rather than chasing one-off dates. Expect a crowd that's there for the food first. Conversation comes easily when the format gives you something to talk about. If you like finding a place and sticking with it, this is the kind of venue that rewards repeat visits. Check the list below for what's coming up.
