Village East was a bar and restaurant on Bermondsey Street, just south of [[Locale Tower Bridge|Tower Bridge]]. It closed down in 2019 and was replaced by another bar and restaurant called Loyal Tavern. The information below is retained for historical purposes. <div class="old_info"> A bar and restaurant on Bermondsey Street, just south of [[Locale Tower Bridge|Tower Bridge]]. It describes itself as a "New York-style warehouse bar", and stretches back into a bare-walled space, past a bar into a rear room. There's another dedicated bar area up a few stairs to the right of the main entrance. On [[Ewan]]'s visit, he was seated at some tables by the front window near the door, so didn't get to see the rest of the space, but the website advertises a large bookable function room area. The menu changes on a regular basis and offers a variety of dishes <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/3717222067/sizes/l/ photo of menu in July 2009]</small>, including a Sunday brunch set menu with two courses for £14.50 <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/3717224639/sizes/l/ photo of Sunday set menu]</small>. Food is served noon-3pm and 6pm-10pm Monday to Friday, 11am-4pm and 6pm-10pm Saturday, and 11am-5pm and 6pm-9:30pm on Sunday. [[Ewan]] tried a heritage tomato and buffalo mozzarella tart (£13.50) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/3718031326/ photo]</small>, which was rather on the expensive side for what it offered, though was excellent quality, with a thin crispy flaky base and some fresh tomatoes (red and orange) and large chunks of mozzarella on top. Jo's scrambled eggs with smoked salmon on a toasted bagel (£6.20) was better value, and a good size. A fresh peach bellini (£7.50) to start was tasty, and the meal finished with an espresso <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/3718034240/ photo]</small>. There was some confusion with my order when I asked for the smaller goats' cheese tart and was then asked what I would be having as a main, so clearly this choice would have been small indeed (hence my selecting the larger tomato & mozzarella option). On the whole, it was a vibrant place, and service was efficient.
