Verified Reviews of Pub Venues in East London
We organised a private wedding party here last weekend and could not speak more highly of the venue and the staff. We had an amazing night there. Everyone was incredibly helpful and responsive whilst organising this but also really relaxed about how we used the space for the party - really allowed us to organise the party we wanted to throw. Dan the bar manager was superb throughout. Its a great party space - large open bar under a railway arch that opens out into a nice outdoor area. Overall a great spot.
I would like to say how impressed I was with the entire experience. Georgina did an outstanding job coordinating everything from start to finish, and the attention and support from the whole team at Trapeze Bar were exceptional. A special thank you to Nick, whose service was absolutely spectacular throughout the entire event. He was attentive, proactive, and made sure everything ran smoothly, which made a huge difference. Without a doubt, I would host another event there. I received fantastic feedback from all the attendees. They loved the venue, the food, and the overall experience. Everything was perfectly organized, and the team was genuinely amazing. I sincerely hope to organize another event at Trapeze Bar in the future!
I had the most amazing 30th birthday celebration at Mother's Ruin! The whole booking process was incredibly smooth, and Siobhan was a pleasure to deal with. A huge thank you to Siobhan and the entire team for making the night so special. I’d also like to give a special shoutout to our bartender for the evening - I didn’t get a chance to properly thank them on the night (I may have had one too many drinks!), but they were fantastic. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mother's Ruin for any celebration. It was a brilliant experience from start to finish!
I would really recommend this venue. We used it for our wedding reception and it was excellent. The drinks & food were amazing, the staff were great & super helpful and in control on the day, and working with the events manager during the planning process was really easy and smooth. The venue is really well designed, very modern and cool. It is really handy they have a hotel attached. Overall it was perfect!
Can’t recommend enough - great bar, super lovely staff, great cocktails, amazing food, brilliant location. Perfect venue for hiring out for parties, events etc. Booked for a birthday party and they were very accommodating and made the night run smoothly, even gifting me a bottle of Prosecco at the end of the night. Will definitely be returning soon!
I had a private birthday dinner and drinks and the staff was amazing and very friendly. Exceptional service from the manager and team, kept to my schedule, very organised and accommodating. All my friends complimented on the venue and the aesthetics. As the venue is connected to the hotel the events team helped me get a room for the night. I would highly recommend. Thank you for making my birthday a night to remember.
What a great venue! Melvin was lovely and communicative. The place looked excellent when we arrived, had party lights and a great atmosphere, and had all that we needed to play music and get the dance floor going. The food was superb and guests keep telling me how good it was. We had a great time and I will certainly recommend to others.
