Is it? I haven't been there for about 10 years.
My boss goes out there with his trendy friends, and tells me it's got some reeeally cool bars and great little restaurants there.

When I started living there I was told off by my flatmate for getting cash out of an ATM during non-daylight hours.

One of my pals lived there for a bit.
The morning after he moved in he couldn't get out of the front door as it was taped off as a crime scene following a multiple shooting in the African nightclub next door. It's not like that any more but it;s full of pricks rather than dodgy nignogs these days.

Yeah that sounds about right.
It was in Dalston that I saw an incredibly well-built gentleman punch a young lady full in the face, but he then had the absolute shit beaten out of him by a further six apparently unconnected but socially-conscious gentlemen, so it was OK.

To be fair, she did have quite an annoying face.
Certainly after he'd punched her.

I ran a completely unsuccessful club night in the Brewery Tap there, a couple of years ago.
It was the final nail in my clubland coffin.
