One of the key features of this airy loft-style bar, include a secret back garden, and at the front a sunny outdoor bar and decked terrace complete with picnic benches, which are both hot spots in the summer months. But don’t let that distract you from the charming indoor interior decked with brick walls and wooden horned chandeliers which create a truly urban and unique atmosphere.

All In London Review
The Truman Brewery’s comfy drinking hole
As this is E1, Corbet Place has a fashionable warehouse look complete with brick walls, a long bar and shiny wooden floorboards. Most importantly there is plenty of space to accommodate thirsty shoppers at weekends when the surrounding bars are packed like sardine cans, there’s also a largeterrace for sunny days. Amply spread out slouchy sofas and low tables make up the furniture, and the heaps of space in between lends itself well to dancing – Thursday nights are devoted to ‘Forro do Galpao’, a Brazilian night with live music and forro lessons, a lively, hip-swivelling two-step dance for couples. Other nights may host electronic music, audio visual shenanigans, or East London’s favourite old trend, swing dancing.
There are cocktails for those with a sweet tooth as well as a small selection of wines and beers (as well as pear cider) with prices to match the ambitions of the area. The main selling points of Corbet Place are the comfy seats and that you may get a table indoors when neighbouring bars Big Chill and Café 1001 are full.

A great bar, but unfortunately our night was tainted by appalling service. We were misinformed and overcharged on a bar tab, the manageress was rude and arrogant, and we (still sober!) were accused of lying while one of the barmen stood by and listened - despite he was the one who gave us information about minimum spends in the first place. Extremely unhappy - they were unwilling to relent for the sake of a few pounds (i.e. £3!) despite the fact that our group collectively had spent a couple of hundred quid that evening. NOT good service, and extremely poor PR. I would not go back on that basis - I'd sooner spend my money in a bar where I don't get ripped off and called a liar. Not a great deal of money by any means, but it's all about principle. To be fair, overall it was a good venue, good crowd, good vibe but very disappointing staff.
