The Sun Tavern - bar review
What they say: the team behind the Discount Suit Company is bringing mixed drinks and fine ales from London’s finest microbreweries to Bethnal Green Road.
What we say: there are probably lots of people who are mourning The Sun when it was a proper East End boozer but that’s gentrification for you. The interior might be a bit “faux-roughed up” but it’s cosy and the cocktails are very decent and don’t take the piss, by London standards, at £7.50.
Good for: people with loud voices — it’s probably not a good idea to come on a first date.
Order: the Shippers Pie Plant was my favourite by miles: a dangerously drinkable short cocktail of gin, rhubarb cordial, pink grapefruit, white port and lemon.
By the way: they’ll be starting a food menu soon.
