Proving that the words 'DJ Bar' and 'Shoreditch' won't always have us running for the hills, here's the latest offering from the people behind The Social. All present and correct are the ingredients from their bars in Little Portland Street and Arlington Square - the excellent juke box, DJ nights, pies and fish finger sandwiches. Here though, there's even enough space for some live bands every so often. Lots of the bars in the area go overboard on stylish interiors; this one keeps it simple with some benches and tables. This one has arguably the most idiosyncratic music policy in town, but even on the few occasions there aren't any DJs on, it's a lively one.
