Yes, the first impression when you happen on this place is that it looks a little grotty. There are two things this venue is good at though, 1) showing important football games and 2) a decent Friday night if you stay upstairs. The first one is self explanatory with league games and international competitions shown on the big screens, the second bit is some really good music if you are into your R&B and old school soul. The club downstairs can get a bit packed and its customers are the more dressed up kind wanting to make a night of it, however upstairs is a more chilled affair. The staff are quite nice and even during busier periods the security team are probably one of the most cordial I have met in the area. cookandpour.co.uk
Situated between old st and shoreditch high street station it is well located. Slightly larger than a normal shoreditch bar too so you actually get a seat if you arrive around 630/7, although this was on a Wednesday night. They have happy hour until 7 which included cheaper wine and two cocktails for 10 – mostly just the standard ones like mojito, Mai tai, Cosmo, sex on the beach etc so nothing fancy. They advertise two floors and music on Fridays and Saturdays and have another room so wouldn’t mind trying that at the weekend.
Stopped here for drinks with a friend while we were exploring the pubs in the area. It wasn’t too busy when we first walked in but it filled up very quickly an hour later. It’s more spacious than its counterparts along the street and the crowd is pretty friendly. A jam session was on the get go a little after we’d stepped in, which really added to experience there. Just a nice little touch to the evening; it’s nice to read that they do things like this frequently. Haven’t been to the downstairs section yet, but I’ve heard good things!
The Corner shop often has events on that are worth taking a look at. I went there for halloween when they organised a comedy night. It was terrible! Honestly it was just very bad and I did not even make it half way through the show. However the bar on the ground floor is nice and has a good selection of different beers to chose from. I had a bad experience that night but I would not stay it is a bad place because there are many different events that take place.
Very nice place, day and night ! Not very expensive drinks and food, and good quality ! The service is cool even when it’s crowded ! Often good music on friday nights, different kinds like hip-hop, old music and new one ! I had a lot of fun with my friends in here. Highly recommended !
Nice place to have a drink with friends on the evening or to watch the football games. Price are fair enough and the staff is really nice.The kitchen is not excellent except the pizzas.On Friday and Saturday night DJ’s are coming and most of the time there is a really good atmosphere.
I know the Corner Shop to be a popular place to watch football, and I’m in no way a Premier League supporter – quite the opposite in fact. However I’ve had really good times at this bar. It’s a large pub on the corner of Shoreditch High Street and Old Street. The ground floor has a bar and a canteen-style set-up for food where you can grab affordable, tasty burgers (veggie ones too!), tomato and mozzarella platters, etc. Downstairs, there’s a small dance floor and dj booth that get pretty lively at the weekend. This place packs up fast and closes at 2am so best to get there early.
