The Empire Bar - (Near Hackney, South East)

Kharyn Campbell I was craving tacos. They were so good. Melinda was our server. She was so friendly and helped us pick out the food. I would recommend to anyone. The Birria combo was everything. And my smoked pineapple margarita was good too.

T G this is probably one of the best meals I’ve had in London so far. The vibe just felt right, good music in the background, but not so loud that you’re shouting across the table. You can actually relax and talk. The artichoke orzo and the picanha meat were the standout for me, I’d go back just for those. I’m usually a bit sceptical about small plates because sometimes you end up paying a lot for very little, but that wasn’t the case here. The portions were generous enough and the pricing felt fair. The staff were genuinely warm and welcoming, and the whole place is beautifully done: cosy, elegant, and thoughtful without feeling try-hard. It’s the kind of spot you leave already planning to return to.

Tim S The steak and chips box was great - steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavour and the salsa verde was fresh and delicious. Coleslaw was fresh and not swimming in synthetic mayonnaise like the usual industrially produced stuff from a bucket. Ill be back to try a burger soon!

alex menzi Its ok, not amazing, but its food. Typical chain pub food. Nothing special. Average price. Staff are welcoming and friendly, not much more I can say. Its ok....

Aaron Brown Been here so many times with family and friends. Always brilliant food and service. Best cafe in Medway in my opinion Staff always friendly and welcoming. Value for money is fantastic, such big portions.
