The Sun Tavern

The sun tavern is the best bar in Bethnal green. I've been going to this bar for years and it's a totally unique atmosphere. Words can't describe how amazing this bar is. You have to experience it for yourself. The staff are always friendly, they're so attentive. You can ask questions, they don't get annoyed or frustrated with you. It gets really busy so if you want a seat get there before 7pm, otherwise you'll struggle to get a seat 🙂

Cosy and intimate bar in Bethnal Green. It's not very big but it goes quite far down, more than first appears when you walk in. The lighting is low and warm which adds to the cosy feeling you get here. The staff here are always very friendly and helpful. It's a sister bar of Discount Suit Company, both are equally great bars and two of my favourites. Listen out for the 'music' in the toilets...

We enjoyed a Sunday evening cocktail here; I particularly recommend the Bonnie Margarita made with scotch bonnet chillies if you like your drink with a kick! Also a good range of local beers and an incredible range of Irish Whiskeys which we will definitely try next time. Bar staff were friendly & knowledgeable and it was a warm and friendly place.

Had an awesome day tasting poitins, whiskey and beer. World class spirits selection. A must stop for anyone Irish or interested in Irish spirits. Cannot speak highly enough of barman Zak who took great care of us, highly attentive, knows his stuff, went over and above and was great company, dude is a legend. Look after him Sun Tavern.

🚇 Bethnal Green 🍺 £5.50 London Pilsner ❤️ A stylish Bethnal Green watering hole. . The Sun Tavern is nestled on a corner on Bethnal Green Road and is just a stones throw away from Bethnal Green Tube. . Originally opened in 1851 as The Sun Inn. Refurbished in the Seventies, some of its original decor lost, this place faced closure for many years. In 2014 The Sun Tavern was born. . This is a compact place with a distinct cocktail bar feel. The decor consists of exposed brickwork, weathered timbers and a stunning contemporary servery. The seating is a mix of stools around the bar and ledges, at the front and back of the bar are comfy banquettes and low level stools around tables. . I had a slight faux pas when trying to order a beer, I noticed there were no pumps on the bar so I asked if they sold beer? I then noticed the ten pumps behind on the back bar which were so obvious just after I asked the question 🤓. I ordered a pint of London Pilsner, my pint was tickerty boo and under six quid. There is a good selection of cocktails and spirits to go at, most cocktails cost around £9. No food as such but you can order Mediterranean style nibbles to soak up the sauce. . I turned up mid afternoon on a Saturday and there were a dozen or so punters in attendance. The crowd was predominantly hipster with only two looking like Meg from Family Guy. The atmosphere was very welcoming and the service was spot on, the gentleman who served me after my faux pas was gracious and personable. Not long after I settled in some musicians came in to set up for the evening’s entertainment, we exchanged a bit of banter on the amount of gear they had, a nice bunch of fellas. One side note, the Khazi plays whale music which makes for a unique toilet experience. . @thesuntavernbg is more bar/cocktail-bar with a hint of pub. Ten years ago someone saved this place and turned it in to a popular destination for a younger upcoming crowd which is commendable. I enjoyed my visit here but maybe not one for pub traditionalists, this is a great place to bring your better half. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 04.02.23
