Strongroom is an eclectic, independently-owned bar and late night venue that also happens to be home to Shoreditch’s biggest beer garden.

They first opened doors in 1997 with the intention of serving pints to the thirsty denizens of their onsite recording studios; the area had just a handful of greasy spoons and pubs at the time, and the resident engineers and visiting artists were in need of a local.

Fast forward to the present. Shoreditch may be an entirely different beast now but they remain fiercely independent and community minded. Run by a close-knit team and surrounded by an inspiring mix of artists and creative businesses, they are an oasis in the heart of east London.
