Electric Evenings at Night Tales Night Tales was pure East London magic — neon lights, pulsing beats, and a crowd that knew how to have fun. The space is a blend of industrial cool and tropical flair, with open-air terraces, cozy corners, and a dancefloor that comes alive after dark. We sipped on mezcal cocktails and shared bites from the food stalls — bold flavours, quick service, and plenty of variety. The music was spot-on, shifting from laid-back grooves to high-energy sets as the night went on. It’s the kind of place where you lose track of time — chatting, dancing, soaking in the vibe. Whether you're there for drinks, DJs, or just the atmosphere, Night Tales delivers. Final thought: If you're after a night out that’s stylish, spontaneous, and full of energy, Night Tales is a top-tier choice — immersive, vibrant, and unforgettable.

Vibes, Flavour & Music at Night Tales Night Tales was an absolute blast — the kind of place that hits all the right notes. From the moment we walked in, the energy was electric: neon lights, great music, and a buzzing crowd that made the whole space feel alive. We grabbed cocktails at the bar (highly recommend the spicy margarita!) and tried a few bites from the food stalls — everything was fresh, bold, and full of flavour. The outdoor terrace was perfect for chilling between sets, and the staff were friendly and fast despite the crowd. It’s part club, part street food haven, part urban escape — and it works. Whether you're there to dance, drink, or just soak up the vibe, Night Tales delivers.

The pub itself is ok & nice to have drinks out in the garden but that club where the dj’s are performing is soooo small. When there is a good one playing, it’s a disaster. So many people in such a small place. There is no oxygen left at some point and you have to give a break to the event you come for and go outside for a fresh air… I would think twice to go for a specific event there.
