The Light Bar & Dining
Two-for-one cocktails every Friday from 4 to 8, in three floors of an 1893 power station.1
Why go
The house describes the building as an old Victorian power station built in 1893
and runs it as a bar and restaurant over three floors.1 The programme is the useful part: a Friday happy hour from 4pm to 8pm with two-for-one cocktails, resident DJs on Friday and Saturday, and a bottomless brunch with two courses.1 Nobody outside the business has written about the drinks or the kitchen, so the rest of this page is practical rather than critical.
Order this / avoid
- Order: a cocktail between 4 and 8 on a Friday, when they run two for one.1
- Avoid: a quiet Friday or Saturday dinner. The DJs play both nights.1
What locals & experts say
- Nobody has written about this bar. No guide, newspaper or award body names it, so everything above is the venue's own account of its own programme.
Good to know
- Timing: the venue advertises later hours without publishing them. Exact times are not established here.1
- Groups: three floors, which is the reason to consider it for a large booking.1
- Getting there: 233 Shoreditch High Street, a few minutes from Shoreditch High Street station.
Verdict
listed — Three floors of an 1893 power station on Shoreditch High Street, run as a bar with a kitchen and a DJ booth. The two facts a reader can plan around are both the venue's own: two-for-one cocktails every Friday between 4 and 8, and residents playing Friday and Saturday nights, which tells you what kind of evening this is and what kind it is not. There is a bottomless brunch. Nobody outside the business has written about the drinks or the food, and the venue publishes no menu and no hours, so nothing on this page is a judgment on either. It goes on the bottom rung as a big room with a known programme in a part of town where that is worth knowing.
