Had a hilarious Friday night here last week - yes downstairs is about the same size as your average sitting room/dining room but if you like R&B/HipHop you'll love it. Upstairs is a bit calmer (i.e.: there's breathing space) but a place to let your hair down for sure!
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.
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.
