The Lion & Lamb

Hidden and cosy.
If you are around Shoreditch - come to this bar. It's usually not very busy and you can get a good seat. Owners are super chilled and when I was there they had cats and a dog around.
Despite looking like a local bar, Place presented itself as a nice club with a DJ playing smooth house tracks.
I would say the best quality of this bar is the crowd, which tends to be super down to earth.
One thing - they don't have much selection of drinks.

My best friend took my husband and I to this amazing location! Small but capable of punching many other locations way higher and better!
Great DJ, reasonable drink prices, amazing vibes from the place and the people!
Certainly worth coming again.

Came to the UK Hun garage night. Cute little venue with plenty of seating, atmospheric lighting, good sound system and friendly service. Nice outside area. There's a crumbled step down to the pavement which is a bit of a trip hazard! But overall great and would recommend!

Nice decoration, drinks expensive, everyone drunk and annoying most of the times. Music usually good, sometimes their dj sets dont sound that professional though

The place was fun but only go if you want to get yelled by the rudest bouncers for no reason. They’ve picked fight with anyone all night and said we can leave whenever we answered to his yelling/mean comments.

Also keep in mind that you are not allowed to get some fresh air more than 2 minutes if you don’t smoke even though they make you wait in a line just for this purpose…

Really disappointed with my experience in this Pub. Staff extremely rude. I was escorted out of the pub because a girl standing next to me didn't like the look of me and felt my shoulder was touching hers, when as we all know bars can be crowded. I was then accused of making the girl feel 'uncomfortable' despite not saying a word to the Girl. I appreciate that in this day and age girls may feel uncomfortable when around men.However, I did not even say hello to this girl. When I was told to move away naturally I got defences as I did nothing wrong (please staff view video fotage) 11:50 9/12/22. You should be embarrassed how left wing and tik tok Influenced you got, on a man trying to enjoy his night
.embarrassing... I insist that you watch the fotage !!!!! You have it use it !!

Ivan Smagghe and Andre changed my life. 12 out of 10 set. Forget the big clubs, great sound, good people, top vibes. Emotional.

❤️ Hoxton estate pub turned club.
.
The Lion & Lamb is located in the middle of the Pitfield Estate in Hoxton. The nearest station is Hoxton which is a five minute walk away.
.
This is a classic post war built estate pub which is a rare find in London these days. The pub closed in 2015 and reopened 2018 with an approach to move with the shift in demographic of the Hoxton/Shoreditch pub goer.
.
The decor here is an eclectic mix of old and new. There are oldschool wooden booth benches and worn down chesterfields to chill out on. The walls are painted black and red and there is a DJ booth at the far end of the bar.
.
The beer line up was pretty good, I had a pint of Asahi which was nice enough and cheaper price than usual for Asahi.
.
I visited around 7pm with my brother after a crawl around the area. On entering there was a charge to get in, I explained we were just popping in for a quick pint and the lady on the door kindly waived us in. We were served by a very polite fella behind the bar, we took a seat and took stock of our surroundings. We were soon joined by the pub dog Bruno, a lovely natured Staffy who was after a bit of attention which he received loads of from me and my brother. After a little deliberation my brother and I soon came to the conclusion that this was more club than pub and enjoyed our pints and the vibe here none the less.
.
The Lion & Lamb is a destination for fans of House, Garage and dance music, 25 years ago I couldn’t have been a regular. This place would have never survived if it continued down the traditional pub route as that type of punter just isn’t here anymore. So is this a pub? The building is, for me this place is more club than pub.
