The Shacklewell Arms

Really busy pub on the 'toilet gig circuit', hosting good london and based bands, and some too from further afield. When I arrived outside in my Uber ride I thought I'd wanderd into a scene from Luther's crack den. Massive bouncers outside rubbing gig goers down before being allowed inside.

When I arrived outside in my Uber ride I thought I'd wanderd into a scene from Luther's crack den. Massive bouncers outside rubbing gig goers down before being allowed inside. Once inside there was a mix of the trendy set and students. Live venue out back is small and functional . ..but do ask for the free ear plugs behind the bar....you'll need them! Three bands on the night all good standard.. . Drinks reasonably priced and not a rip off..... Fantastic bar staff .... MAX is the man!!! Most surprising thing on the night was the Burger and Fries. Superb . Unbelievably good. .. Would recommend ....it's fab a dodie. Will be going again . . You need Uber as not much around the area apart from the Shacklewell ..... It's a must do night out. . Do it at least once. . .... then you'll want to do it all over again...

Drinks are a bit more on the expensive side but there is live music offered. The venue is rather small and there isn't much space to stand once the tables are occupied
