Guidebook for Hackney
Drinks & Nightlife
Nice relaxed pub, which isn't too hipster-ish (but enough). Good for a drink afternoon or evening, gets quite busy on Friday and Saturday night. Food's not bad, if slightly pricey for what it is.

Great view of the park from the outside terrace and the inside's cosy in winter. Gets pretty rammed on a Friday night and on hot sunny days but good place to hang out with friends.

Lovely coffee shop for lunch. Better in the week as it gets really rammed at the weekend, especially on a Saturday.

This is actually a pub but it's really best to eat here. Nice traditional British food- I suppose it's a gastro-pub. Can book a table and does table-service (which I've found to be friendly and good).

Everything Else
The market on a Saturday is great for food treats and small independent designers. Does get pretty hectic so better to go early. Lots of places to eat and drink here too.
