With cracking DJ's from Thursday-Sunday, late-night opening on weekends, and drinks at a very decent price, The Haggerston is great for a pre-club haunt before heading to Dalston's large selection of best clubs and bars. A stone's throw from Haggerston Station, this Kingsland Road pub boasts a rugged interior, lively staff and effortlessly cool clientele.
Serving freshly-made pizzas all day, and at reasonable prices, its the perfect spot to come round for a bite to eat and a few drinks. Its late-night licence also guarantees a great evening, especially on Sundays which is their acclaimed Jazz Night. An incredibly popular event, arrive early or you'll be there for quite some time in the queue.
What's great about this place is its versatility, in that during the week its a quiet but atmospheric pizzeria, whereas on weekends it turns into a raucous affair, challenging many of the clubs in the area.
