Biddle Bros is a gem of a bar with a good atmosphere and reasonable drinks prices. I absolutely refuse to set foot in there again though until they part ways with Nicky, the woman who does the karaoke on Sunday evenings. She's disorganised, stressed, but worst of all rude to the customers. She very publically insulted my partner tonight while he was trying to give her (pre-arranged) assistance in managing the karaoke crowd control. Bearing in mind he gave up his evening to try and help her, she arrived 2 hrs later than planned, dismissed his ideas, told him to effectively be her bouncer, and then had a go at him for not mopping up spilt drinks (and to humiliate him further it was in front of a microphone so that everyone could hear). Even though he doesn't actually work there and was just trying to help! At this point my boyfriend walked out in disgust. You'll not have our custom again until this woman has gone. What a shame.

Need a bit of explanation here. 5 star is for the overall vibe but not the food or drinks in particular. The owner is so friendly as well as the customer in there. The bar itself is quite cramped but it just gives you that cosy friendly neighborhood bar feeling. Live music on Thursdays Fridays and Saturdays. The space of the venue makes interaction between the band and the audience a lot more pleasant. The owner's dog is walking around inside the bar and even have it's portrait in the wall available for sale. I just think it is one of those little bar at the corner of the street (literally) that you will find it so lovely.

Cozy little pub with die hard regulars that have been going there since forever. Its a no frills kind of place just how i like it. The people are lovely, the drinks are great, the toilets alone are worth the visit with its pretty strange decor. The live music nights are really special, keep an eye out for performances by Charlie Boyd, shes amazing.

Nice pint of hazy pale ale at under £6, good place to start the night before moving on through the night, also a good bar to finish at too, punters are interesting and loyal to the place. Needs food to hit top grade, though they let you order from the Italian next door which does make up for it a little, the waiters even deliver to you in the bar.

Great atmosphere and another surviving old school Hackney pub. Full of characters some you don't mind being rammed up against but a few you might not. The reason for 3 not 4 stars is that in a venue this small you just have to sound check EVERY band it your ears might just fall off! …

First time here and loved it. Excellent atmosphere, top bar staff, I played a gig here later that night, sound engineer Nick was great, lots came through the bar to see us. Looking forward to coming back soon

Amazing place with some Interesting options of music. Great range of drinks and good service and atmosphere. Also the place is beautiful but a little small. The Brixton cumbia association plays sometimes there and is a great fun

Enjoyed a "stripped back" evening with half of The Ragged Flags. James & Mark smashed it out of Clapton Ponds with their killer guitar work and vocals. Wine bar was a friendly atmosphere with a good crowd of appreciative punters. A great evening out! SG. More

Love playing here, not a huge space but then you don't need a huge turnout to make it feel rammed! Decent little pa. Beer good and pleasant staff, generous landlord. It was there before gentrification started so support this little independent gem in Clapton!

One of my favourite venues. Very cosy and friendly atmosphere .I went for" Film and Beyond "which is on first Wednesday of every month and enjoyed a great vibe and exciting short films and live music and found my experience highly nourishing.

Odd place where they allow drunk (or high) parents to bring their little baby whilst they blare music amongst other high locals. Very unsettling experience. You will never see a label on any drink and the staff doesn't care about any of this.

Terrible place. We were there for a birthday. They scan your contactless paymentt. Beware. When we raised the issue with the owner he started insulting and shouting to us. Dont go there if you have go Be careful

Been driving past here for a few years (always noticed a crowd outside on the weekends) and wanted to check it out. Nice vibe and good crowd even on a Sunday. Bar / karaoke staff were lovely! Will be coming back

Cosy little bar. Great atmosphere and books some great musicians. Can get a little crowded just due it's size but that adds to it's vibe. Beer is actually fairly priced. You can get two pints for under a £10.

Well, I was called up to sing on two occasions on two Sunday evenings. And apparently appreciated by the management and staff. Thank you.

It's a tiny bar but when it's a gig night, the back room comes alive and it's a really happening place - mainly craft-style beers but old-school shabby-chic ambience.

A small pub full of character. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming. There are lots of local regulars, so you know it's a good place. On Sundays they do karaoke!

Very laid back, unassuming vibe on entry. Lazy jazz notes drifting from the, very light, airy back room. Hugely engaging, positive , barstaff. Felt like i,d found a bit of me.

The place just got the vibe. A high quality musicians sometimes plays there .. the owners and bar tenders are all cool and fun and friendly. the regulars are nice too.

Best Pub in Hackney! Proper old school pub packed with locals and good vibes.

I’ve been there a couple of times after modelling at the near by The Star of Hackney Down to catch the last drink. Very cool looking forward for tomorrow again.

Really good bar, every time I've been there's a good atmosphere and have had a fun time. Always the last stop of the night and it never disappoints.

Terrific Hackney Pub with great relaxed atmosphere and excellent service from the bar staff

If you want your live music interesting and homegrown, your beer cold and your chat easy then this is the place.

Really cool independent bar. Never been before. The landlord was really helpful. Friendly atmosphere

It's a nice little venue with a back room, so far have caught a jazz gig and a poetry event. Nice!

Very genuine local bar with a great live music experience! Real London at its best.

I rarely have a good time here but the Beer is ok and it has a cult following.

There is no food. Other wise perfect place, really.
