FancyaPint?'s review...

A pleasant surprise, the Electricity Showrooms. We seem to remember a previous incarnation which was all black leather furnishings and cubed seats - well, there's been a refit which has turned the place back into (yikes!) a pub. So, enter through the revolving doors and take your pick from a fine drinks selection (Sleeman's India Pale Ale being worth a try). The menu also offers up traditional fare and by the time we noticed the bar billiards table, we thought some heavy exercise in Shoreditch irony was underway. It's not though and is simply a modern pub with a traditional feel and - judging from our visit - one that's proving popular. We haven't sampled this one at weekends yet, though it's safe to say the multicoloured downstairs dance floor gets some action. Mid week though, the Electricity Showrooms is one of the best in the area.
