picture of Indo
While other nearby pubs seem to appeal one or other of the various tribes that dominate this edge-of-the-City location, Indo offers one of the more refreshing and eclectic experiences. It's a long, thin place and not particularly large, so it doesn't take a lot for it to become busy - but despite this it's still a chilled-out experience; even the handful Hoxtonites and trustafarians who wandered too far from home were more or less behaving themselves. There's a very good choice of beers on tap - Budvar Dark, Konig Ludwig and Mort Subite amongst those offered - and the music is also well chosen. Wine buffs are slightly less well accommodated being offered a choice of red or white in varied quantities. The décor is simple, with rickety furniture offset against some bits of art and a few well-priced snacks (a good range of pizzas) are available to those who ask the nice people behind the bar. Suffice to say we like it here - just arrive here early (or early in the week) if you want a seat.
