Situated just between Hackney Road and Columbia Road sits The Nelson’s. It has gone through a number of renovations over the last decade; the latest incarnation is a welcoming LGBTQ+ pub with a roaring Sunday trade for the Flower Market and a traditional roast dinner. The new owners, Benjamin Todd (former Home & Casita manager) and Stagg & Barber Events (running bars from festivals to Royal Ascot) have brought their twist to the site in the redesign and the new drinks on offer. The beer taps also churn out a number of craft beers (Deviant & Dandy and Goose Island) and a number of cans are available if you want to take advantage of the takeaway license. Extensive gin menu. UK Open Mic hosts a great night every Thursday from 19:00, you can sign up on their website if you’d like to play. However if karaoke is more your thing, then you’ll prefer Sundays from 19:00. Sunday roasts available. Bookings recommended
