All In London Review
Is this the best pub on Bethnal Green Road?
Roasts, pizzas, club nights and a famous quiz, the pub uses its ample space to good effect. The sprawling venue covers two floors. Bathed in a sickly sweet pink glow by night, the Star of Bethnal Green has a trad-chic thing going for it, whether it strives for it or not. The pizzas are great value (and they’re named after DJs), the Sunday roasts are delicious (and big) and the club nights make a case for eschewing nearby Dalston, Shoreditch and Kingsland Road for a night here. Disco, house, trance, techno, dubstep… the venue has a canny knack for attracting big DJs. As you can tell, we like it.
The Star of Bethnal Green; it’s a fairly traditional name for a pub and outward appearances suggest that’s just what it is. But clearly there’s much more going on inside. The Tuesday night quiz is similarly misleading. Far from your average evening of general knowledge and ‘funny team name’ competitions, there is dancing, singing and even stranger examples of audience participation in this one – perhaps a reason why the Evening Standard voted it one of London’s top five pub quizzes. High praise indeed, but how about this; we, All In London, vote it the best pub on Bethnal Green Road. Boom!

East London Bars: cooler than penguin piddle.
The Star of Bethnal Green once had the greatest bar name in all of London. Sadly though, the Pleasure Unit is no more. However, the Star is <i>way</i> better, making the most of its dual floors. Football, DJ nights, bands and pizza now represent this quality Bethnal Green pub.
