The Stag’s Head is a real hidden gem, tucked away on the corner of Orsman Road and Halcomb Street in Shoreditch/Hoxton. This historical pub not only has a great selection of craft beers and delicious food, it also hosts live music nights most days of the week and has a huge heated beer garden. We came for Phil’s Open Mic, as it turns out Phil, the host has won not one but two Grammy Awards and he used to work with none lesser than Bob Marley, Phil Collins, Cher and many other famous musicians. The music and the atmosphere was phenomenal! We also tried the food, most of the menu consists of traditional pub food, but there are a few dishes which you wouldn’t expect in a pub. We had a Hungarian Goulash and a Beef Curry and both dishes were delicious. The food is very reasonably priced, especially for the area, all the main courses are between £9-£13, there’s literally nowhere in the area where you would get such a delicious meal for so cheap!!! Maria, the manager also told us that the pub, being a listed building is often chosen for shooting location of famous movies. Among them Legend with Tom Hardy and My Policeman with Harry Styles was shot in The Stag’s Head. We had a fabulous time, and would love to thank the lovely staff and the manager Maria, for looking after us, and for the excellent recommendations! I’m definitely coming back soon!

Lovely ambience , with a Cool open mic setup and great vibe !!! Loved the tonality of the Upright grand 😍 Must visit !!!
