Party/drink/art your bum off in Shoreditch

The Book Club bar

Billing itself as the Queen of Hoxton's "younger, slightly smarter sibling", the Book Club in Shoreditch is a late-night/lunchtime drinking/eating/hanging-out spot/music venue, and... that's enough slashes. This place is all about leisure, and they're up to their necks in it, with ping-pong tables, a full bar with a great beer selection and plenty of cocktails, DJs and artists performing nightly, and a menu of bar food that occasionally tends toward the bizarre with things like tempura baby octopus, but also has classics like full English breakfasts. They also have a "Lunchtime Disco" every Friday with "always danceworthy" music. Also, there are some books.
