The Haggerston, E8

It was very busy in here with a twenty-something crowd when I visited one night last week. There was a DJ in situ that was using some decks at the end of the bar to blast out some drum and bass. Being a single room pub it was impossible to escape the din and the low lighting seemed to make it difficult for the bar staff to see who was next in line to be served. After noting that Trumans Runner was available from the hand pump and that there were numerous premium lagers available I decided to cut my losses and find somewhere a little more sedate.
