    A good East London boozer with warm and friendly staff, and some great burgers. A good choice of beers, including local craft breweries. I did not stay for any events, but I bet it is.lots of fun in the evenings. For me it was a nice quiet spot for a drink on a Saturday lunchtime, away for the bustle of Bethnal Green Road

    🚇 Bethnal Green 🍺 £4.90 Becks Vier ❤️ An East End boozer for the younger generation. . The Star of Bethnal Green is located on busy Bethnal Green Road. The nearest tube is Bethnal Green which is a five minute walk away. . Originally The White Hart, this pub used to be a Truman’s house and has seen a few name changes over the years. This pub is now part of the Electric Star Pubs stable who took this place over in 2008, this was their first pub. . The decor is contemporary in this high ceilinged boozer. The walls are a mix of exposed brickwork and colourful wallpaper, at the back of the bar…

    Situated on the high street about a 6 min walk away from either Bethnal Green underground or overground station. They have some seating outside, a great selection of drinks, and plenty of seating. They have 2 floors and a bar area on both levels. I've attached a video of the first floor. The first floor is where the toilets and the kareoke room are located. We booked the kareoke room on a Wednesday evening. The pub wasn't busy at the time of our arrival (7pm) but it was almost full downstairs as the evening progressed. Food is catered via a third-party street food vendor, Baba G's. See…
