The Bishop and Belcher

Far for us to go, but will definitely be a place to go next time we’re in the east end ! Dj was amazing, service was attentive. We got served by a lady with long brown hair (I should have got her name) and she was amazing. She gave us some olives because I was so hungry after our night. Had to kick somebody out and handled it so well- my partner was ready to jump in but realised she didn’t need anybody’s help (despite being fairly short compared to this group) I know that sounds condescending but hats off to her- genuinely !

We hit this place up to close the night, so we didn't order food. Atmo? Awesome! The retro vibe with '80s flics projected was cool, mostly because half of our group had no idea what movie they were seeing. But, the place is also really loud, so be prepared to "huh" a lot or just smile and nod. For service the drinks were good, but I kinda felt there were too few bartenders for the crowd size, so don't expect much artistry in your cocktail; maybe stick with beer or simple ones, like G&T or rum and coke. This place has a cool theme that got buried under the noise level and crowd size, but not sure if that is because we went over so late or what.

Super friendly staff even when they’re busy and slammed. Great cocktails and craft beer. Good vibes, nice layout and decor. If you’re into vinyls, they have a swap box in front of the bar. Similar to “Little Free Library - Take a book. Leave a book” method.
