Never been here before. Wicked place, brilliant. Two rooms, an outside area with cover, and a bar, service was good and a pizza place. Toilets are mixed which got me a little confused but we all seen the bits before, especially at my age! 👀😂Staff and security, brilliant. This was a @vividpeople do and not what Night tales may entertain other nights. Regardless, I like the venue, under the railway in the arches. Proper London gig. Love Hackney still and London because the people are still the people. X👍🏻👌🏻💕

Night Tales — Where the Bartender’s Chat Is as Good as the Cocktail Night Tales is more than a bar — it’s a mood. Neon lights, open-air vibes, and a crowd that knows how to unwind. But what made the night truly memorable? The bartender. Sharp, funny, and genuinely engaged — the kind of person who mixes drinks and conversation with equal skill. What made it special: Creative cocktails — bold flavours, playful twists, and perfect balance Bartender with charisma — great recommendations, quick wit, and real connection Atmosphere — part tropical escape, part East London cool Music and crowd — lively but not overwhelming, with space to talk and breathe The venue blends indoor and outdoor energy — palm trees, fairy lights, and industrial charm. Staff are upbeat and switched-on — service feels personal, not just efficient

The pub itself is ok & nice to have drinks out in the garden but that club where the dj’s are performing is soooo small. When there is a good one playing, it’s a disaster. So many people in such a small place. There is no oxygen left at some point and you have to give a break to the event you come for and go outside for a fresh air… I would think twice to go for a specific event there.

Terrible layout, you cannot see the DJ at all. It shouldn’t be too hard to build a better structure for the dj to interact with the crowd. Shame Chris Luno barely saw you.
