That placeis Nathan Barley central. In Shoreditch the best pub is the Griffin: although still Barley-esque it maintains a real 'authentic shithole' vibe.
There are still some proper East End boozers - not least the Sebright Arms (sadly now due to be 'luxury' flats). They do an old-style (and completely irony-free) Music Hall/Variety night with 25-stone Mike Reid-alike taxi drivers sing Fank Sinatra songs whilst sitting down and wheezing, red-faced.
You don't dare laugh till you get home...
