The Sun Tavern (Bethnal Green)

• The folks from Discount Suit Company have moved above ground with The Sun Tavern
• The site formerly known as The Sun Inn was built in 1851 and has been a local favourite in the heart of East London ever since
• Notable regulars have included the Kray twins and the pub was also used as a meeting place for the local boxing fraternity for many years
• The tankard cocktails are drinkable but a little sweet for my tastes
• Mixed drinks were more successful
• Orange Blossom Water) were my kind of boozy
• They also handled requests for classics well with some fine Negronis
• The Sun Tavern is a lively boozer that is bound to be a huge hit
• I'm happy to report that it is just as likeable as their first place
• What I would describe as a tavern cosy and low lit with blinds covering the windows giving it the darkened look from outside
• I went at about 5pm on a Sunday afternoon for my first visit and there it was populated but there were still a few tables available
• Discount Suit is an underground cocktail den
• Served in a metal tankard with a pile of ice like a julep
• Their menu is divided into Tankard Drinks and Mixed Drinks
• All the cocktails are either £
• Better to go for a bottle which is a very reasonable £
• Bethnal Green is turning into the place to be if it isn't already and The Sun Tavern makes it even more of a worthy destination
• The Sun Tavern is one of my favorite places in London
