83 Rivington Street, London, EC2A 3AY

Cargo is an 800 capacity bar, restaurant and live music venue housed under three railway arches and decorated with high tech decor. Their music and selection of food are taken from a mass of global influences. More like a canteen, the restaurant serves a variety of reasonably priced dishes including tapas, falafel and kebabs to name but a few. Outside seating is provided on the pavement.

Reviews for Cargo

Been going to this place for years, and recently been regularly going to the 'friends and family' nights. I would recommend these monthly saturday nights when they have a good mix of hip hop beats from the UK, Europe and States. Makes for a good night as you experience styles and flavours of hip hop you usually would come across, its also great when its a live set which they usually have. Also, the vibe and people are cool and there's no agro. And to top off any night theres a great bagel shop at the end of brick lane to go to (but hey thats another review)

Hi Dharminder, thanks for your review. I have not heard about their "friends and family" nights. What are these and how do they differ from their other regular evenings.
Cheers

Oops sorry just discoved your comment (a bit late). The fnf nights are held once a month on Saturday nights. The live MCs and DJs, more often than not are very good and theres the occasional gem of an up and coming artist who performs.

I would have to agree with Buraco on this one. Cargo always seems to bring in a wide variety of music to their venue. I remember once they brought in Natasha Atlas one of my favourite artists. The venue itself is quite large and has an underground feel to it. I haven't been going there lately for a while now but I look forward to the next opportunity.
