I was very pleased when I stumbled across this bar in Hackney Wick whilst waiting to go to a rave that I had accidentally bought tickets for…

No 90 Bar and Kitchen is an absolutely fantastic space in the heart of Hackney Wick right by the canal. The inside boasts large ceilings, colourful decorations and comfortable sofas and loungers. If that wasn’t enough, there is a HUGE outside terrace overlooking the canal with benches and massive deck chairs for two people.

The atmosphere was buzzing, the DJs were playing great tracks and the food was spot on. The venue advertises different events throughout the week (it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays) from live music to bingo!

Food wise they have stuck to a simple menu of a small handful of starters – I definitely recommend the buffalo wings with blue cheese sauce, carrots and celery. The main dishes are salmon, steak, shepherds pie if you want something hearty or a variety of burgers (including a chorizo one) to choose from. Delicious side dishes include sweet potato fries and mac and cheese.

Decent cocktail menu with frozen cocktails also available and a wide selection of craft beers.

Friendly service and staff clearly working hard when they were rammed on a hot summers day.
