The Lighthouse: Pub in Shoreditch, London

The Lighthouse is a food venue in EC2A, and it doesn't stick to one crowd. Some of its programming is built for families, with weekend events where kids and grown-ups can both find something to do. Other nights lean toward the dancefloor, with party bills built around hip hop, bashment and afrobeats. The range is the useful thing to know. You can come for a meal with a relaxed group, or for a louder night out with people who came to move. Expect a mix of ages on family days and a looser feel on party nights.
