Don’t You Forget About Spitalfields

The other day I went out with my Irish friends for dinner and drinks in Spitalfields area. We ended in The Breakfast Club. 2 Irish, 1 English, and 1 Venezuelan in detention just like in the movie behind Simple Mind’s song Don’ You (Forget About Me). 

Club Special

The Crowded Dim Diner

5 locations in London, big breakfast would you expect with that name, the place opened in 2005 in Soho the decoration plenty of old memorabilia, probably you and even them call it junk, dim lights, and distinctive atmosphere. But the best part is the “Secret Bar” actually not so secret as everybody knows about it, but in Spitalfields you cross a fridge and after taking the stairs down you end in a more relax underground bar, a fairy tale or a chapter taken from Harry Potter or perhaps Narnia, crossing the magic 3 7/8 fridge but definitely not in King’s Cross.

Bar Drinks Menu, The Secret Key?

Do you need reading in your toilet?

I went for an easy one chicken wings, which weren’t bad, nothing breath-taking, the place was packed with people, loud 80’s music, and a bunch of beers and cocktails coming and going. The underground bar more relax, not so loudly music, we went from jugs of sangria to a couple bottles of prosecco.

A nice night out with the lads, will definitely back for the bar. 

The Secret Bar

This private underground club reminds me the Seinfeld episode “The Friar's Club” 

Jerry: Hi. I was in the audience earlier. You threw my jacket down. I just wanted to pick it up. 

Sandos Brother: Jacket? What jacket? 

Jerry: I had a jacket with a crest on it. You came into the audience, you threw it away. Agrabah. 

Sandos Brother: Are you sure it was me? 

Jerry: Well, it was either you or one of your brothers. 

Sandos Brother: Well, two of them have left already. No. 

Jerry: It doesn't even belong to me. It belongs to the Friars Club. 

Sandos Brother: Sorry.
