Street Art. Trains. On Buildings. We must be near Hoxton. |
The Crown and Shuttle, Shoreditch High Street, Adnams Southwold Bitter
I had checked the view out of Google Maps. It looked exactly my sort of place.
Crown and Shuttle |
Good work. The building really couldn't have been used for any other purpose.
Inside, it's a hipsters paradise. Chairs that look like they have been salvaged from schools and extended to high stools by someone who is handy with a welder. Two rooms, both bare brick, with the backroom hosting a street food serving cart.
Three real ales on in the front bar - there may have different options in the back room.
That's mine - Southwold Bitter |
Check out the Chairs. Check out the Street Food Dispensery |
The Old Fountain, Baldwin Street, Hackney Best Bitter
Having rectified my wrong exit selection mistake at the Old Street Roundabout, I find the Old Fountain in a tiny little side street around the back of Moorfields Eye Hospital.
And this is why I love the Good Beer Guide. There is no way I would have ever found this place without it.

It was tough to wrench myself away from this classic boozer, but now I know where it is, I'll be sure to come back.

I think anyone would need help with that blackboard, it looks like something by Jackson Pollock.
ReplyDeleteGreat pub though.
It led me to a decent pint of Hackney Best, so I'll forgive it :-)
