Last night my work colleagues and me were having drinks in their terrace when a group of bouncers came in and told us to go saying one of us had brought booze from outside, which I didn't see. Once outside, one of my colleagues wanted to recuperate his bag he had left inside, so I said I was going to go to find it thinking I am a very diplomatic person I could get it and leave. When I explained that to the bouncer at the door, he was good with that and let me in. However, when I tried to explain it to the old blond bouncer inside she started to be rude to me and told me to speak in English to her. As you can see, I can write and read in English perfectly well and I don't think they should be...
This place has a roof top bar which seems great, however there was a member of staff who aggressively shouted at my friend and I when we wanted to check out if there was space to sit up on the roof. She again shouted at my friends when they were about to go upstairs a bit later... I explained to her that they were only going upstairs to find us seats whilst I bought them drinks but the way she addressed it was just so off-putting. Perhaps she was just stressed out as it was a Friday evening but her tone seemed pretty unprofessional. Shame as it could be such a good space without the bad energy.
Stopped in to get out of the rain. They have a range of breakfast options, many vegetarian. I opted for the breakfast sandwich with the vegetarian sausage, which is really not sausage at all, but a lentil patty. It worked for me, because pretty much any sandwich with a fried egg on it works for me. This is a pub at a historic location, nice feel to it. It's located right near the parliament and other government buildings. Service was good, prices not bad considering area full breakfast around 10 pounds.
Small local pub first, that turned out to be trendier than it looked from the outside. We were amused at frightening the locals with our UV'd and glittery faces, and we did get some looks, but it was fine. And lo, some fellow party goers (you could tell from their attire), arrived shortly after. I think we may have found one of the very few places left in Hoxton to get two drinks for under a tenner! And they had comfy sofas, the bar is tiny, like sitting in somebody's lounge. Win. Reserve uma mesa agora
if you can tramp all the stairs from the ground floor, and avoid the smoking cabals, the roof terrace on top of the Red Lion in Hoxton provides a great fresh air view of London where you can while away an hour or two wrapped around a pleasant pint. Not many places you can do that in the Capital!
The drink prices are good, the music playing is good, and there is a roof terrace. It's not too crowded right after work. We didn't eat, but the food provided by a nearby restaurant was reasonably priced and looked delicious. Overall, it's a pleasant place to visit.
I highly recommend this restaurant. They offer a great selection of beers and delicious food with friendly service. The option to try a beer taster is perfect for those undecided on what to order. The ambiance of the restaurant is fantastic as well.
