Why locals recommend it
A tiny cafe that turns into a bar in the evenings, it has brilliant decor with Hawaiian record sleeves and posters all over the walls. There’s an old turntable behind the bar—the last time I went they were playing a lot of Asian surfer rock. I didn’t even know that was a thing! The cocktail list is classic, with a tropical fruit twist. Their version of a French 75 has guava in it, which is pretty special. And the small plates of food are very light and Asian-influenced, too. The gyoza is something special.
Tips from locals
Laid back café serving great food and coffee/juices. Playing a brilliant range of tunes on vinyl. Several evenings a month they serve fantastic Japanese food cooked by resident Japaneses foodies - Drumsco. Check in café for dates

Cool environment, generally with good music. The staff is nice :) and prices are reasonable.
Just on the Lower Clapton-Hackney border on Clarence Road, the Pacific Social Club has a real sense of fun. It’s small and cash-only – you have been warned – but remains a complete gem, serving moreish and reasonably priced vegan Japanese street food and great coffee. The alcohol selection is modest but, by crikey, do they know how to put together a cocktail – check out the hibiscus margarita. Don’t think, just do it. The decor is as eclectic and eccentric as their social media presence – the Pacific Social Clubbers have an irreverent sense of humour. If you like your music on the experimental side, you’ll like it here. Keep an eye on their social for events info, as you’ll find local DJs a
