Helgi's is a rock bar and live music venue in the heart of East London, uniquely decorated with a dark and psychedelic atmosphere. The building has been here since the 1800s, a part of old Hackney, as can be seen across several rooms filled with character.

The venue has been used for talks, film screenings, seminars, markets, launch parties, filming, photoshoots, exhibitions, and regularly features live bands and vinyl DJ's to packed rooms. As well as the main bar area at the front, there is a large private back room with its own bar and a maze like route to the toilet and washroom area, which is its own unique experience. Any of the rooms or the entire space can lend itself to whatever event or creative venture you have in mind.

18+ only.

***Bookings available from Sunday to Wednesday***

Full PA system, backline (drums, guitar amps, microphones), film projector, DVD player, vinyl DJ decks and mixer are available for use at extra cost.

The main area of the venue features plenty of seating, a well stocked bar and vinyl DJ decks with a powerful sound system. Loaded with plenty of atmosphere, with psychedelic lighting and unique decorations

    Helgi's is exactly what I expected. Dark, goth, kink rock vibes. The people are the nicest folks and very passionate about their metal/rock. The staff are really nice. Great for a quiet pint or later in the evening, a louder one lol.

    Fantastic venue. Cross between a Witches Coven and Hell. Brilliant atmosphere. Ultra efficient bar staff. Reasonable prices £2 for diet coke. Small music venue out the back. Super sound Grave Lines were Stella. Cheers guys. Would highly recommend. !!

    Wonderful place. Really recommend if you’re into your gothic, occult and metal vibes. The booze is great, the staff are incredibly helpful and welcoming — the fella with the moustache is a don. I was on crutches and everybody, including the customers, were extremely accommodating. Bouncers we’re very friendly, held the door open for me, etc. Great vibes. Highly recommend if you’re in London. Easily accessed as it’s on one of East London’s most known streets. I’ve seen nothing but good hospitality here. If you’re into your ghost hunting, I know someone who swears he’s met a ghost downstairs 😂
