Cafe 1001 has some good tunes to warm up the night with or to hit later on in the evening. It's quite grungy, but that adds to the atmosphere for the most part. It's quite laid back and the dancing is usually good. One piece of advice-- always keep your bag with you. Since there's no cover charge people go in just to steal bags and leave. It happened to a friend of mine while she was just a few feet away from her bag, so be careful!!

It's also a nice cafe during the day with nice baked goods and food in the always amazing atmosphere of Brick Lane. Check it out!]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 13:15:21 +0000 /review/uk/london/cafe/1n05b8/cafe-1001/1g0hk81017508385 gregwo 51.521922630131 -0.072819324067349 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/cafe/1n05b8/cafe-1001/1y88l8

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. ]]> Sat, 17 May 2008 19:08:25 +0000 /review/uk/london/cafe/1n05b8/cafe-1001/1y88l8306420712 Sami 51.521922630131 -0.072819324067349 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/cafe/1n05b8/cafe-1001/1765o7

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.]]> Tue, 23 Oct 2007 13:02:41 +0000 /review/uk/london/cafe/1n05b8/cafe-1001/1765o7891508432 brookeleanne 51.521922630131 -0.072819324067349 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/cafe/1n05b8/cafe-1001/1s61n8

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.]]> Wed, 21 Mar 2007 18:27:05 +0000 /review/uk/london/cafe/1n05b8/cafe-1001/1s61n8846616155 maxlawire 51.521922630131 -0.072819324067349 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/cafe/1n05b8/cafe-1001/1l50o8

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.]]> Wed, 15 Nov 2006 13:51:42 +0000 /review/uk/london/cafe/1n05b8/cafe-1001/1l50o81123765923 rkn 51.521922630131 -0.072819324067349 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/cafe/1n05b8/cafe-1001/126058
