"Strongroom Bar & Kitchen, Barbican Old Street. A hidden gem tucked away off Curtain Road, the Strongroom Bar & Kitchen is definitely a favourite with our studio. You can drink in any of their three bars and dine with their no-nonsense menu – their tasty nachos serve well as a snack to satisfy a group of people looking to ease into the evening with a midweek drink. The open courtyard is one of the area’s biggest, transporting you away from the bustle of Old Street – although it gets very busy in the evenings with the local clientele. Additionally, Strongroom also has a recording studio so pick up one of their monthly leaflets to keep up with all their upcoming gigs and events."
