  Catch is just another club of the many clubs in the Shoreditch area. It has two floors with the dance floor being on the top floor. Went to catch to have a couple of drinks with friends. We ended up going to catch as we didn’t get entry into Bario East! But catch isn’t all that bad… The music (hip-hop) and the ambience was good. May drop by again if I’m partying in Shoreditch again!

  good bar for a dance and night out – small dance floor downstairs and booths and upstairs has a large dance floors. Drinks are reasonable prices and the music is great!

  I have often passed by Catch without realising it was where it was. It’s at the start of Kingsland Road, along the same stretch of street that has Dreambags and Prague, but with such an unassuming facade, and tiny lettering decrying its existence that it is easy to miss. As I suspected, Death by Burrito weren’t operational that night, so I couldn’t kill two birds with one stone in this instance. No, for tonight, it was just a common or garden club and I had a wicked night there. Downstairs is a fairly ordinary room but with a few booths to the side, presumably where the grub is served when service is on. Then they also have an upstairs which is another fairly ordinary room. Really, that’s it. Just a little club with no pretensions to be anything other than a provider of somewhere to dance. Upstairs there’s a little raised dancefloor in the corner, but the whole room is basically one big dance floor. There was one table, and a sort of banquette against the wall, but that was it.Now, as I said, my friend’s friend was DJing with his fellow DJs under the monkier of Loose Synths, so I cannot rightly say how much of our enjoyment was just down to the good DJs, and how much Catch contributed. I guess hats off to them for having Loose Synths DJ in the first place. Apparently, they did a set that was a bit special – it was mostly old school hip hop, garage, and RnB, but some of the numbers had a remix twist, bringing out the bassline, or mashing it up with a more ragga style. With a few shots and a few vodka tonics in us, it was the sort of nostalgia-inducing music that made you want to dance. Whether or not you really cared for the music the first time round or not. There was a remix of Destiny’s Child Bills, Bills, Bills, they played Mr. Vegas’s Heads High , there was a bit of DMX thrown in, Sweet Female Attitude’s Flowers, and of course Regulaaaate had to feature! But there was some more modern stuff thrown in too- Disclosure’s remix of Jessie Ware was popped in smoothly right in the middle of the set. We spent a goodly amount of time up there before finishing off the evening downstairs where the music was a bit of everything really, as far as we can remember! (We may have had a few more shots and vodka tonics by this point.)There were a few negatives – I drank spirits the whole night because the wine wasn’t up to much, and there didn’t appear to be any kind of cloakroom. Had I known I might not have brought the massive, new winter’s coat with me, which I then had to stash and slightly fret over in case it disappeared. Also, I’m pretty sure that the lights went up a little earlier than advertised, which, naturally I was very disappointed about, but considering the hangover I had the next day, was probably quite fortunate. Now that I’ve been here, Catch is definitely more firmly on my radar. Music aside, I think we had a good night because it just felt like a fun, friendly little club. No attitudes, just a place to dance and drink. I’ll of course be back to try the Mexican food, but I’ll have no problem in staying after my dinner is done to throw some shapes, and it’s good to know there’s a proper club down in Shoreditch amongst all the late night bars. jaminaward.wixsite.com
