Art exhibitions, gaming nights, DJs, quizzes, cocktails, live music... but not a single copy of Sebastian Faulks' Birdsong anywhere in sight.

All In London Review
Drinking, dancing and weird and wonderful nights aplenty!
Located in Shoreditch, The Book Club has been a bastion of big nights out since well before the area exploded. A basement club provides the dancing room, done up in a semi-industrial style with a small bar and a small collection of seating. The ground floor bar above is the pre-party to the basement’s after party with a solid menu of sharing platters that include BBQ, vegetarian, Mexican and straight up meat, plus a busy events schedule.
Along with a large bar, a well–used ping-pong table and plenty of seating, the upstairs space plays host to a huge range of alternative nights. These nights are arguably what have kept The Book Club so fresh over the years, with the likes of life drawing, ping-pong tournaments, board game creation (yes, really) and speed dating. Not to mention the fact that this is one of the best places in Shoreditch for a dance. Hip-hop, soul, funk, bass and R’n’B are the usual sounds that get people moving and the basement’s ceiling sweating.
There’s no such thing as a guaranteed great night out but with the sheer array of action going on The Book Club comes close.

Meet someone special at London's top singles bars
Get your glad-rags, douse yourself in smellies and prepare to engage...
The Book Club in Shoreditch runs the monthly singles event, ‘Last Night a Speed Date Saved My Life’. Catchy name and what’s more, its hip location means you’re likely to find a relaxed affair rather than anything too serious. Not a fan of date nights, then head to the Book Club at the weekend where the crowd still holds its fair share of singles.
