The Macbeth is a big old tumbledown pub in Hoxton. It now has a roof terrace. And a rather nice sound system. Supporting some of the finest new acts in the UK and the world as well as hosting some of the biggest bands on the planet. With nights ranging from the sublime to the divine. Amazing bar staff, wonderful security and cheap drinks!

Smoking Area
All In London Review
If these walls could talk…
The roof terrace is a good addition to the Macbeth’s fairly tawdry reputation where fresh air meets not such fresh air as smokers take over what is one of the few rooftop spaces in the area. A level down and you’ll find the serene second level where it’s okay to come and get away from whatever manner of shenanigans is going on in the main room. Sparsely decorated and occasionally covered in local artwork, it does the job.
Now, trumpets please!! THE MAIN ROOM! It chills to the bone – if these walls could talk… Over the years the Macbeth stage has hosted some huge acts and if you’re interested in supporting your scene then this is the place to come. Live bands play regularly and DJs take over the excellent sound system in between. Cheap drinks on the bar, excellent music and a fun crowd make this a hot ticket – and there’s even a pool table. Nowhere beats the Macbeth for its grimy glamour these days. Trashy sovereignty holds sway.

Enjoy a drink on London's best rooftops
Drinkies, a great view... what else you could possibly need?
When this week’s latest indie-pop outfit gets a bit too much, escape upstairs to the terrace up top. The Macbeth may be more synonymous with the sweaty swagger of bands but on the roof there’s a way out – of you can handle the smoke.

Great for music. Terrible for a good bar experience. If you think arrogant, customer-is-wrong attitude is fun then go for it. I'll be back for the music but will NEVER use this bar again.
You've been warned!

Love this place, plus the roof terrace is great for summer drinks and there is a second floor bar where you can escape the noise of the ground floor gig venue/club.
