The Book Club in Hackney

Came here for the drag bottomless brunch, pizzas were good but took a while to come out and the food options were quite limited for a brunch. Would recommend for the entertainment and very generous staff with topping up the prosecco!

Went for a friends birthday and waited ages to be served. It wasn’t even busy at the bar but the barman purposefully ignored me and my friend and continued to served girls that came after us. As gay men, it felt pretty personal and something I have not experienced before.

Went there for Bad Dates which was brilliant. Would highly recommend. I would also recommend the Book Club getting more bar staff and ones who actually knew their way around the bar. The service was so slow and took ages to get a simple glass of wine.

Went for a friends birthday and had lots of fun dancing. ‘Bottomless’ was definitely true - I don’t think I ever saw an empty glass! It was a shame we were seated away from most people as we had booked tickets in advance but didn’t let that get in the way of a good time :)

Cute bar with some music. Avoid the football table as it takes 1 pound for 5 balls ( total ripoff ) however shoes and beer are affordable and the armosphere is overall enjoyable. Young crowd

Not really sure where the drag was for ‘not another drag brunch’. We played bingo and had a guy in heels hosting. He was fun but it definitely wasn’t a ‘drag brunch’. Yet another rip off.

All is fine apart from ventilation and being overcrowded, is really bad, there is nothing to breathe with. And you let too many people there was no way to get through toilet apart from really pushing people.

Service extremely slow (they offer cocktails but there's no urgency in making them, it took 15 minutes from ordering to us receiving our first cocktail), went on 2 for 1 pizza night with 10 people and their oven can only accommodate two pizzas at once, so we ended up receiving two pizzas every 7-8 minutes, over the span of about 50 minutes. Pizzas were fine but if you can't serve a group all at once don't offer them.Not coming back.

I used this spot to network with a potential vendor and get some work done. I love the vibe of this place. There's plenty of seating that comfortable. It's also a dynamic space too that has a good mix of play and work which I like. The food is hearty and filling at the right price. This is a great place to meet friend and socialize or get some work done. It depends on what time of the day you show up.

Very good breakfast (strictly 5!), good menu, nice place & kind service. Also suitable for big groups. The cappuccino was....far from our standard, not tasty, but the gladly gave us a refund with a smile. We find it great attitude & service.
