Restaurant/bar recommendations for a night out in Shoreditch

[Bishberro]

Me and some mates have planned a much-needed night out away from partners and kids and are thinking of getting the East London line to Shoreditch. I'm so out of touch with where to go these days I wondered if anyone could recommend a good restaurant/bar we could go to on Saturday night. One of my friends is coming down especially for the weekend and didn't want to disappoint. I was thinking somewhere trendy but not too painfully trendy with nice cocktails etc

The brick house for cool cocktails, dining, burlesque and other acts, really cool place.

This quirky place in Shoreditch, called The Bridge we went to for my colleagues leaving do it was very good and value for money rather fun.

Lounge Lovers on Bethnal Green Road is a stone's throw from Shoreditch High St station, recommended for a cocktail, it's super!
