About Empire Tavern

Empire Tavern is a Tagvenue Partner. This business has registered with Tagvenue and agreed to our venue partner standards.

Empire Tavern is a modern pub diner in Hackney, right by the Hackney Empire and Town Hall. It’s got that familiar pub feel, with a bit of a 70s New York diner look worked in, so it feels relaxed but still put together.

The space is flexible, so it works just as well for a few drinks as it does for bigger bookings or a full venue takeover. You can set it up depending on what you need, whether that’s a birthday, a wedding reception, or something a bit more custom.

Food and drink are handled in-house, and they’ll shape things around your plans. That can be anything from canapés and sliders to a full sit-down menu, with options that go from casual to something more structured.

The team is easy to deal with and happy to talk things through, so you can figure out what works best without overcomplicating it.
