Streetfeast
Any self-respecting Shoreditch hipster has heard of Streetfeast by now. Moved recently from the Old Truman Brewery to a primo spot on Kingsland Road, its the latest hot spot to savour the likes of The Ribman, Kimchi Kult, and Big Apple Hot Dogs with your friends, and look good doing it. If you're not already sold by the mouth-watering choices, theres also an indoor gin bar and bookable tables via the website in order to party further into the night.
Every Friday including May 24

317-319 Kingsland Road, London, E8 4DL

Tief @ Corsica Studios
Just in case you didnt know, tief means deep in German---so prep yourself to get down, and dirty. Probably as close to reliving the 80s rave scene without getting too illegal, you really cant go wrong with this party crowd. Lose yourself in Corsica Studios notoriously sweaty house-techno den of iniquity, as guests and resident DJs make you shake your booty to some seriously intense bass. Glowsticks optional.
