Fashionable Shoreditch drinkers are attracted to this cellar bar by its rickety old furniture, interesting imported beers, and a pricy, but very tasty selection of Mediterranean bar snacks and sandwiches. However, the thing that draws people here from all over London is their shared love of table football. There are half-a-dozen 'babyfoot' tables in the basement, all constantly surrounded by a crowd of people giving advice, arguing tactics or just shouting support. You can play by World Cup rules - which include the common sense: "there must not be any banging of the tables, bars etc to distract the opponent" - French rules or no rules at all; just make sure you're reading from the same hymn book or things could get ugly. Bar Kick also runs a weekly free comedy night on Mondays at 8pm called Comedy Cellar.
