"I've walked past Translate bar several times, mostly in the day and each time I think ooh, what's that place, that looks nice' before realising again it is Translate. On Saturday, I actually went in, for a drink or two before The Dance Assembly at the Horse and Groom.And it was nice. It wasn't as busy as I feared it would be plenty of people to give it an atmosphere but there was still plenty of space for standing, or, if you were lucky, sitting like we did. There's pretty lights at the window and interesting art on the wall, plus that stripped back, brick thing that Shoreditch does so well. They had a couple of interesting beers that Stephen went for I had an averagely priced glass of house white which was plenty drinkable before perusing the cocktail list. These are mainly (or if you go for one of the posh' ones their words) which is an acceptable price to pay for a cocktail in a place whose raison d'etre isn't cocktails unlike, say, Callooh Callay or Worship Street Whistling Shop. I ordered the Taste of Honey (apparently the first person to actually call it by its name, rather than just the top two ingredients of honey and lime listed on the menu The menu, by the way, is a rather cute-looking thing itself, the ingredients of each cocktail being designed in the shape of a drink (presumable to match what it looks like when served). The taste of honey was a short, strong drink of rum, but obviously the addition of honey gave it a sweetness that I like in my boozy beverages. It was great, and I could have have had many more but I didn't want to spend a fortune so I switched back to wine for my last drink there.The music while we were in there was fantastic. I meant to write down just a few choice songs but each time another song came on, it was again worthy of note. So, a selection of our soundtrack to the night included:Salt n Pepa's Whatta Man, Soul II Soul's Back to Life, Madonna's Papa Don't Preach, The Doors – Break on Through, The Beach Boys – Barbara Ann and Aretha's Respect. Not too shabby diverse and a little bit old school but all gems to put you in a mood for a night out."

I booked a table to celebrate my birthday on this bar and they were amazing. The table was with decoration, a super nice bday card and after in the night they stop the music and they bring me a cake! The bartenders were really friendly,...the cocktails amazing, and the food... I will say is better than in a normal bar. I will recomend this bar to everyone. my friends and myslef had an incredible night!

So when I was working in Shoreditch I consistently found myself inviting my friends to meet me in Translate bar. Originally this was because the happy hour was pretty enticing (and not watered down cocktails either but since then because you're always guaranteed to get a seat, no matter what time or day. Ok so these aren't massively ground-breaking qualities, but on a Friday night, after a stressful day at work, what more could you possibly ask for. Two things should be noted though:

So when I worked in shoreditch, I found myself inviting my friends to meet me in the online bar. originally this was because the 5-9pm happy hour was quite tempting (and not watered cocktails either but ever since, because they always guaranteed to get a place, no matter what time or day. ok, these are not massive groundbreaking qualities, but on a Friday, after a stressful day at work, what could you ask more. two things should be taken into consideration 1) the menu on zomato is not really exactly the drinks on zomato see much more impressive / mischievous, and perhaps translate should actually introduce this, just say 2) Read more

I have gone to the bar several times, mostly on the day and every time I think, uh, what is this place, that looks nice before it is to be realized again it is translate. on Saturday I actually went in for a drink or two before the dancing meeting on the horse and in the groom and it was nice. it was not as busy as I feared that there would be many people to give him an atmosphere, but there was still much space to stand, or if they had luck sitting like us. there are beautiful lights on the window and interesting art on the wall, plus the striped back, brick thing that shoreditch had so good they had a few interesting beers that went stephen for me had an average price...more

"A friend and I stumbled on to this neighbourhood restaurant by chance; no research, no booking, no expectations. We were then blown away by the quality of the food: wonderfully fresh fish, beautifully cooked. The service is also exemplary. I've always enjoyed calamari, but this was by far the best I've ever had: truly succulent and juicy. The mussels were almost as good, and the sea bream kept up the standard. The spiced quince with ice cream made a nice change from baclava in a Turkish restaurant (they still threw in some baclava). The owner, Tony, provides excellent recommendations — make sure you take them! He knows what's fresh that morning, and how his wife cooks it. The bill comes hand-written, and Tony forgot to include the wine (obviously I corrected him). I can't remember the last time a restaurant bill made a mistake in the customers' favour! No service charge is included, and it deserves a lot more than the usual 12.5%. This is a wonderful, old-fashioned restaurant, run by a charming old couple, committed to maintaining old-fashioned standards. The food is more than great and the prices more than reasonable. Service is personal, honest and responsive (providing Tony turns his hearing aid on). Tony warns you if anything you wanted was bought in, rather than home-made. Why don't unassuming but wonderful restaurants like this get Michelin stars?"
