Alfi, Spitalfields, E1

David Walton left this review about Alfi

Visited 05/05/26. Visited previously 03/01/24.

No cask. Keg offering of Guinness, Moretti, and then XPA and the lager from Five Points. There is a wine selection on tap on the wall behind the bar counter.

Venue in Spitalfields Market. There is a large, covered area out the front with a range of tall and regular tables, many of which are laid for diners and there is a pool and table tennis table to the side of the seating tables. There are some fancier booth tables to the right of the entrance near the open kitchen and rather large pizza oven! The cover inside the actual cover of the market roof festooned with warm white fairy lights. Inside the glass fronted venue is a bare boarded area with the bar counter against the rear wall towards the right-hand side of the venue with some tall stool seating at the left-hand edge of the bar counter. There are a couple of tables opposite the left-hand edge of the bar counter specifically for drinkers, but the rest of the regular tables are laid for diners, the ones against the rear wall to the left of the end of the bar counter being serviced by a dark coloured banquette. Industrial ceiling painted black and a very high tempo funky soundtrack being played on my early evening visit.
