Weirdest vibe and bar experience I’ve ever had.
Frisked and checked by security more seriously than I’ve ever been in my life. Bar was extremely dead. Don’t take card, must pay cash. Genuinely looked like 14-16 year olds were in the bar. They were drinking tins of beer, perhaps smuggled in? Or they were sold them, but that seems equally weird. Bouncers were drinking too and mingling with the young people in the bar (see the security guard in the back of my photo). Some of the patrons were very old and the mix of people was so strange. Unfriendly staff too.
Avoid like the plague. We left within 10 minutes.

Terrible experience overall.
2/3 stars moved down to 1 star when literally seconds after our group were served drinks the music went off and we were aggressively told to leave. Allowing us to finish them in peace and quiet out of the way was a reasonable ask but we were harassed non-stop by a small army of staff to finish and leave. Some of the staff seemed to get a real kick out of being unrelenting together which I guess was lovely for employee morale.
In addition, the overpriced drinks after a £15 entry fee, plus empty glasses and sticky surfaces all over the place really topped the experience off.

Avoid this place at ALL COSTS. It is foolishly overpriced. To sell "House Sprirts" (cheap 12 bottle of vodka) for a £175 and "Premium Spirits" (a regular 70cl VS bottle of courvoisier) for £250 is criminal. They are deceptive when it comes to selling tables. Your deposit of £300 can only get you 1 bottle of 70clSpirits which is decanted behind the bar and given to you over the bar in a water jug. Great table service.

Avoid - £3.50 for a lime and soda, when I questioned it the bar man said "Sorry this is Shoreditch prices" - Also, when I asked for a raspberry or passionfruit mojito the guy said 'he'd never done one before could I have a normal one' - Won't be returning.

Such a cool venue. Hadn't been in ages thought we'd pop by and check out the Hoxton Pony. Always a top night out in Shoreditch here. Recommended.

Drinks terribly overpriced. 12.50 for a SINGLE G&T. They do have 2 for 1 cocktails (one cocktail is 14 quid) but only use cheap ingredients, including a lot of syrup, making everything sickeningly sweet.
Don't go here. Dreadful.

Didnt even go inside the security were so rude considering there was no one inside at 11! They kept asking where i had come from previously and when i asked why another security came insisting i tell them what bar i had previously come from. Very intimidating i decided against going in.

Came in for a drink to check the place out for a party next month, i asked the bar tender if they did any alcohol free drinks, they said no along with a slight chuckle and puzzled look on their face .. I then asked if they make mocktails, they said yes, I asked for a menu but noticed the menu had no mocktails available just cocktails.. confused at the circle I was just sent in I decided to leave and find a spot with better trained staff and a less limited offering for my event.
