The Book Club,

The other day I was Time-outing my Saturday night and I found this place by chance. I was triggered by a 'seem to be interesting'- gig. We gave it a try and it turned out to be a good choice!

The book club is a rather large place with two floors. Upstairs there is food and drinks served, with seats and a Ping Pong table. Ideal if you go out with a non-loquacious mate. The decoration is rather original and the place is comfortable.
Downstairs there are more seats and a dance-floor with stage.
Upstairs is resided by Well-off hipsters, the Shoreditch-native people, but downstair the atmosphere was more varied, more down to earth and less pretentious. I reckon the regular customers are found upstairs and downstairs is the destiny for the free urban explorers that use time out to discover London 'like myself`'. It is a busy place, we went at 8 pm and it was already overcrowded, so we went straight downstairs, and started warming up with the fantastic Dj.
We found the specialty of the house are the Cocktails. These are explained on the white tiles that decorate the place. Yet the descriptions of the cocktails are not very functional, as they evoke fantasies that are once more tasted when actually drinking the thing.

We took Sweet as a Nut, Passion Quila and Mur-Der. Each cost around 7-8 range. The waiter took quite long, what is good when you pay that money for a drink. The result was good but nothing to lose your mind about. If you go for beer they have Peroni, Pilsner Urquell, Modelo, Sol, and Amstel from the tap. My second Urquell was too warm, but be the bartender forgiven.

After dancing Woogie Boogie and 50s and 60s rocks that the Dj gave, we saw the severed Limb, a fun Skiffle band that we enjoyed a lot. Another post is dedicated to this band.
