Party Earth Concrete Review
The Scene
A barren and understated garage bar sporting little more than cement walls and chipped wooden benches, the aptly-named Concrete is nonetheless a happening hotspot where a thriving and unrestrained party culture flourishes.Shoreditch / Brick Lane, London –
A barren and understated garage bar sporting little more than cement walls and chipped wooden benches, the aptly-named Concrete is nonetheless a happening hotspot where a thriving and unrestrained party culture flourishes.
A split entrance leads adventure-chasing buddies either upstairs to a pizzeria or below ground to the windowless club where trendy East-enders and easygoing urban riff-raff come together to create a down-to-earth party vibe.
Popular events including comedy acts and musical quiz nights see boisterous hipsters slamming down their beers in fits of laughter, while fast-paced conversations echo off the low ceilings and exposed piping.
When DJ nights roll around, the heat rises and the good-natured revelers get sweaty as they indulge in some rough and tumble dancing that leaves many patrons happily bruised.
Guaranteed to deliver a no-frills, all-out party, Concrete is the place to be for outrageous shoe shufflers and rowdy brat-packers who prefer debauchery to decorum.
