LHT Urban Bar, Whitechapel

Don't let the outside put you off, it's actually quite lovely inside. Really friendly staff, decent selection of reasonably priced beers and spirits (cheaper than the Beggar, more expensive than the White Hart but thankfully without the racist football crowd). The food is cheap and tasty, there's a jukebox which is both a blessing and a burden (great when you're picking tunes, less so when it's on random and suddenly blasts out the Welsh national anthem or something). Great gigs on too, and open mic on Thursdays. Odd mix of punters, lots of hospital staff, students, foreign visitors, Whitechapel locals, random passersby. Nice though.
