Randomness Guide to London Menu

A pub and venue on Bethnal Green Road, most recently known as the Pleasure Unit.

Recently refurbished -- and possibly not yet even completed, given that the new grand staircase to the upstairs level was not yet open on a recent visit despite the place being completely packed -- the Star has its eye on the live music and clubbing crowd that increasingly make up the residents of what is increasingly an eastern extension of Shoreditch. Complementing the slick black exterior is a stripped-down space inside, with a small raised area to the left of the entrance and a bar at the back of the room.

A good range of familiar up-market lagers grace the bar, though Ewan did not get a chance to check the availability of ale.

It has a late licence for the club nights it hosts, and looks to be a good venue for these.
