About Old Street Records

    “Had such a fantastic evening celebrating my friend Lee’s birthday on 25th July! From the moment we arrived, the whole team went above and beyond to make the night feel really special. The atmosphere was brilliant, Music 10/10, bar staff incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout the evening. A special shout-out to Matt, the manager, who was absolutely fantastic. He made sure everything was taken care of and really helped make my friend’s birthday one to remember. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about creating a great experience for guests, and his attention to detail did not go unnoticed. Thank you to Matt and the whole team for making the celebration so memorable. We’ll definitely be back! 🥂🎉”

    “very cool & fun vibe! Big space with a fun semi industrial decor. We loved the music! Had a great time . Lots of space to dance! The bartenders were polite, helpful and made good Old fashioneds! The basement bar had a different but equally fun DJ playing, we tried both spaces! We will surely be back!”

    “Came for the Concrete Jungle event one NYE expecting DnB, dubstep, and garage as advertised, but for most of the night before midnight this was barely played. They should’ve called it Pop concrete It felt misleading, although the music did improve after midnight and became more in line with expectations. When they were playing Jungle and DNB it was great tho which I added some vids below for I just wanted a bit more of it, and wouldn’t have come if I knew it was gonna be played this little. The venue itself was quite nice, but it did not feel equipped for an event of this size. There was only one toilet area with two urinals and two cubicles for the entire venue, leading to long queues. The smoking area was very small and overcrowded, and it was extremely difficult to get a drink from the bar. Overall, not the best night, mainly due to the music mismatch early on and the venue struggling with capacity. I can see how it could be a good night on a less busy event.”

    “Had such a great night at Old Street Records! The live music was incredible — such a talented duo with amazing energy. The cocktails were spot on, and the pizza Quattro Formaggi was absolutely delicious. Perfect spot for good vibes, great food, and even better music. Can’t wait to come back!”

    “Amazing bar/club in n the heart of Shoreditch with a great vibe. Live djs and bands will make your night out unforgettable. The staff is lovely and they suggested delicious food and drinks. I would extremely recommend the spicy Diavola Nduja pizza and the Mango and Passion Fruit Daiquiri cocktail, these are completely awesome. I will come back for sure! 🍕🍹”

Customer Review Summary

Live music is what reviewers return to most, from a talented duo with great energy to bands and DJs in both the main space and the basement bar, with lots of room to dance. Pizza and cocktails sit close behind. Diners name the Diavola Nduja, the 4 Stagioni, the Quattro Formaggi, and meat and veggie pizzas generous with pesto. For drinks they name the Pineapple Piccante, the espresso martini, the Hugo, a Mango and Passion Fruit Daiquiri, and Old Fashioneds. The pizza and drinks deal is called good value, and staff are described as friendly, welcoming and helpful. The main criticism comes from one New Year's Eve reviewer who came for the advertised drum and bass, dubstep and garage but found it barely played before midnight. The same reviewer describes long queues for the venue's single toilet area with two urinals and two cubicles, a very small and overcrowded smoking area, and difficulty getting served at the bar. Another diner recalls staff making a customised food order exactly as asked.
