What people say

The Bell is a charming Victorian pub located in the heart of Middlesex Street, just a stone's throw away from popular areas such as Brick Lane, Spitalfields and Shoreditch. This independently owned pub is well-known for its mixed crowd of local residents and office workers, making it a great place to meet friends and colleagues for a drink after work.

The eclectic decor adds to the charm of The Bell, with two function rooms including a games room with pool and darts. The pub serves well-kept cask beers and a diverse selection of lagers, along with a decent wine selection that can be ordered by the glass or half bottle.

If you're looking for a place to grab lunch, The Bell offers a non-fussy pub menu full of old favourites. And if you're looking for something special on the weekends, they host monthly Northern Soul nights and Brit-Pop Band evenings.

The Bell is open Monday through Wednesday from 11 am until 11 pm, Thursday and Friday until midnight, and Saturdays are reserved for special events or private hire. During the summer months, they are closed on Sundays but will open up for large bookings. When winter rolls around again, they'll be back to opening on Sundays.

Overall, The Bell is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a friendly pub with great drinks and food options in an ideal location.
