== Line 0 == == Line 0 ==
The Hoxton Pony was a DJ bar in [[Locale Shoreditch|Shoreditch]] (not really Hoxton). According to the Dec 2019/Jan 2020 <i>London Drinker</i>, it has now closed due to the operator going into administration, and the lease is on the market.

The information below is retained for historical purposes.
This new bar, replacing a former incarnation (Pool Bar), is certainly shiny. Surfaces gleam black and red, though there's some odd natural history dioramas to each side of the bar to add a bit of nature in. Low tables alternate with high ones around the side of the room. Downstairs is a dancefloor and DJ area.

Surfaces gleam black and red, though there's some odd natural history dioramas with stuffed birds to each side of the bar to add a bit of nature. Low tables alternate with high ones around the side of the room. Downstairs is a dancefloor and DJ area.
There's a food menu (which can be found on the website), which emphasises traditional English foods, and are priced at around &pound;7-&pound;9 for a main.

The focus here is on the cocktail list (all around &pound;7-&pound;8). [[Ewan]] tried a gin-based cocktail, and it was perfectly nice, not too insipid at all. They also have Meantime Helles and Pilsner Urquell beers on draught (&pound;3.50/pint), as well as bottled Pride, Innis & Gunn, Brew Dog Islay Finish, and others.
Service is friendly, and although on [[Ewan]]'s visit he didn't get a chance to try the cocktails, they come recommended.

Service is friendly, perhaps a little too insistent (you're unlikely even to get a chance to order at the bar, though before 9pm they won't charge service on your bill).
