    Great little summer evening spot

    Slight grotty but wicked just the same, Cafe 1001 is a really good place to stop over when you're wandering around the Brick Lane area.

    Most evenings you'll find it is absolutely packed as it is also a music venue with a variety of different gigs going on; it can get so busy outside the club that you'll have a hard time navigating through the crowds smoking, chatting and standing around and sitting on the numerous picnic tables just outside the front door.

    The burger stand and other food available is pretty good for street food, although on the week-ends you are spoiled for choice as you can go right around the corner to the Sunday Upmarket and sample a variety of world cuisine and do a bit of indie shopping as well.

    And any place that serves Red Stripe in "tall boy" cans receives extra brownie points in my book!

    It's worth a shot to check their myspace to find out what's on in the evening as they don't update their gig listings on their site too often.

    I love Cafe 1001! The atmosphere is very relaxed, the people are always friendly, its great to chill out in the afternoon or for drinks and dancing in the night. The food is great and very cheap and it just has a really great vibe. I would really reccommend anyone going there.

    Yes 1001 is a great place for a pit stop if your exploring the Brick Lane area. The poeple are cool, the atmosphere is friendly and even the music's good. If you start off your night in 1001 there are loads of happening clubs near by and on a sunny day it's a great place to hang out and watch the young & trendy walk on by.

    Trendy Brick Lane
    Current
    Cafe 1001 is probably one of the most established 'trendy Shoreditch' bar/cafe's on Brick Lane. Part of the Old Truman Brewery complex which used to dominate the area, its in an alleyway off the Lane itself.

    Its a bit roguh around the edges and not very pretty, but the atmosphere is nice, food is tasty and all is reasonably priced. Grab a burger or veggie options from the ever-growing BBQ outside or step inside for salad boxes and sandwiches on the left or pizzas and baked potatoes etc. on the right. Bar is on the left serving up pretty standard mass-market lager and adequate coffees/hot choc/tea.

    Upstairs for a more loungey/bar type atmosphere, with evening djs playing electro/breaks/dnb or back outside to sit on tables in the alleyway and watch the world go by.

    Probably one of the most relaxed places to go on Brick Lane for a drink and well established.
