Big Chill is a very trendy bar/pub that is almost always full. Amazing cocktails are on offer and the staff are friendly/helpful.

The Crowd: Located off Brick Lane, big chill is frequented mostly by young crowd, you won't find much of the city-suits here. Most patron come here for a drink before they hit the clubs around the area.

Seating: The bar has an inside seating area and a outside covered area that allows smoking. The inside seating area is nice done with lots of corner areas for young couples to get cosy :). However, the place really gets crowded late and you can find many people standing outside. You are lucky if you get a seat!

Drinks: The bar has a decent selection of beers - Amstel, Heineken, and some german wheat beer (forgot the name sorry). But what really sets the place apart are the cocktails. Quite a few are available and they are absolutely tasty! My favourites being Rum & Ting (Wray & Nephew Rum, passionfruit syrup, fresh lime juice & Ting ) and Caipirinha. You can also order cocktails by pitcher.

Food: Never had food there. The fare seemed to be standard burgers etc. Did try a snack which had grilled Haloumi cheese, nice.

Staff: The staff are friendly and glad to talk.

Prices: The beers cost close to £3.50 and the cocktails cost around £6. Bit pricey

Overall, a nice place to unwind in the evening.]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 14:17:10 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1g62u8n/the-big-chill-bar/1l0h28385063101 ocean0201 51.520125324866 -0.072895210655289 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1g62u8n/the-big-chill-bar/1g9hu7

I love the Big Chill Bar for it's atmosphere and tunes. On a weekend afternoon there's always a good crowd there and it's great to just chill inside with the big couches or outside. It's a very relaxed atmosphere and nice staff. There's a good selection of drinks on offer as well as very good food. I like to go with a group of friends and the beginning of the night-- it's a good place to get warmed up or to recover the next afternoon with a bit of the hair of the dog!

And it's situated in the great atmosphere of Brick Lane near many other great places to go!]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 13:20:04 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1g62u8n/the-big-chill-bar/1g9hu71351334365 gregwo 51.520125324866 -0.072895210655289 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1g62u8n/the-big-chill-bar/1s4aq7

Great tunes, great food and surprisingly un-pretentious ambience. Right in the heart of brick lane it's the perfect post-curry venue.]]> Thu, 07 Aug 2008 14:19:31 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1g62u8n/the-big-chill-bar/1e4ag81655569161 tomc 51.520125324866 -0.072895210655289 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1g62u8n/the-big-chill-bar/143288

One of my favourite bars in London, based in the Truman Brewery complex. Always good music, very busy but also very relaxed type of people that come here. Great to start the night and head off to the clubs in the vicinity]]> Mon, 09 Apr 2007 20:52:36 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1g62u8n/the-big-chill-bar/1432882098486168 benzevenbergen 51.520125324866 -0.072895210655289
