Apples and Pears

I hired the basement bar for my 30th last month and it was just perfect for my party. We all had a great time and the staff gave us an excellent service all round. A big plus was having our own DJ system, plus the main bar gets pretty busy so it was nice having our own private space so big thumbs up.

I came here for the first time last year summer for a friends 30th birthday. She hired out the downstairs which had a great garden/outside area access. I had a great night. The music was fab. Great location too. Highly recommend this venue for a great night out.

Apples and pears is spread over two floors ground and bassment with a good sized garden out the back I love small intimate venues and this one is one of the best I think.
Its Intimate and the staff are very friendly, the drink are very reasonably priced.
My friends hired out the bassment floor for my birthday last year (barbie and ken dirty 30th) and honestly had the best time ever. They alowed our djs to come and use there equipment and allowed us to barbie up the hole floor with all types of off the wall decorations. Had such a laugh. If you are looking to throw a party in the area I would say this venue is the one to do it in.

A cool little ground floor bar - or two small original rooms joined together imaginatively, with a busy weekend basement dancing area and small back patio with occasional BBQs. A relaxed Shoreditch vibe, with easy music to match, although its at the 'wrong' end of the Lane for such cool-ness! You might miss it. And all the better for it. They still do an amazing two wines or two pints for £5 from after work weekdays until 8 or 9 (depending) which makes it a great start to an evening, meeting place for work mates whether the next step is to north Lane art/music place or south Lane curry house!

wow, kudos to this place for my first attempt on downing a long drink in one go...
i dont know what time the previous reviewer have been to this bar, but i went there just before midnight on a saturday night purely out of curiosity and hell what an experience awaited me.
firstly i can't fault the decor and the layout of the place, but then you move on to the 'music' and the 'people.' hmm. well the music is just wrong..you know the stuff that is under the 5£ mark on itunes - that is pure gold compared to what my ears were hearing. the people...hmm i am not a judgmental type and also very tolerant and open-minded too, but with the majority of the 'all day in gym all night on coke' male types supersizedeyeing the 'high heels before bare feet after' female types i felt like i was in a ZOO with the exhibit 1 and the exhibit 2 just released from winter hybernating cage area to a free-run zone...
all i wanted to do was to hide in a safari jeep and drive off.
don't feed the animals!

We always swing by this place after a few drinks out in Brick Lane. The cocktails are very much up to standard and the crowd a little more mature for the area. The decor is very relaxing and there is a basement area for dancing, - although we usually prefer realxing on the ground floor. Would Recommend.

What a fab place to relax away from the hussle and bussle of Brick Lane. They have a Bamboo Garden at the rear, which will be really great in summer.

Our cocktails (Itchachoo Park and Fashion Fizz) were made by Richard, the friendly Venue Manager. My Itchachoo Park one had a good mix of alchol and a fantastic taste of fresh passion fruit, which brought back memories of holidays on the beach.

Cocktails are £7.50 mark, and they do pies for £7.95.

Friendly staff, and would definitely recommend a visit if you are in Brick Lane or around East London.

Good place for a small party in the summer - Richard's email is: richard@applesandpearsbar.co.uk

Will be going back (and am considering it as one of the venues for a friend's 30th birthday celebrations).
