Hoxton pubs
Fashionable in the late 90s and beloved of Nathan Barley types with silly haircuts who get paid to ride kid's tricycles around converted warehouse buildings. This edgy area comprises a collection of trendy pubs and bars surrounded by derelict buildings and a profusion of late night kebab shops. Your chances of getting mugged or pulling are about 50 - 50

A disintegrating exterior isn’t perhaps the best of introductions to any pub, but The Eagle’s shabby shell is only a cover for a good-natured, crowded and slightly upmarket boozer that is notable for its wide selection of decent foreign lagers, some excellent real ales on tap and a tasty but expensive menu. Kitted out in an assortment of posters, some slightly mangled attempts at colour and décor, with plenty of tables but plenty of punters at them, it manages not to veer too far into pretentious Hoxton territory, and is consequently a good place for a long boozing session.

Garish green tiling on the outside, dark and scruffy wooden interior. Considering the usual faddish rubbish in the area, a decent straightforward pub is just about as good as things get.

As annoyingly precious and precocious as the name would suggest.
