One of the funnest nights in London we've had in a long while (Joe was down to party past midnight :). A fiver (£5) will get you into the door at this popular east end club, but get there before 1030pm or else you wait! The decor is what I would best describe as garage sale in a jungle. The crowed is unpretentious, and the bar staff think they are at spring break! From time to time you would see them spray water onto the crowd on the dance floor. Caiprinhas and mojitos are advertised on the bar, but go for the bottled stuff.

It took us a little bit to warm up to this place. Definitely not your typical posh club in the west end of London. You'll hear everything from Elvis, Snoop Dogg, The Strokes, and even a bit of classical music to give your dancing feet a break. But the people there are just down to party, and soon you'll be groovin' too! After closing time at 2am, head over to the Brick Lane Beigel Bake...

Yep, that's how they spell 'bagel' in London :). Get your bagels fresh here 24 hours a day. The special that you must try is the 'beigel' with hot salt beef. It tastes sooo good after a night of partying. Be careful, the mustard is spicy!

It's kind of in the random part of town (felt like being in the East Side of Manhattan around Ave B.), but should be easy to catch a cab home after this tasty post-party snack :).
