Reviews of Ridley Road Market Bar
L. M.
Love this place! The Taiwanese Dumplings are the best I’ve ever had in London!
It was such a surprise to eat pot sticker mapo tofu dumplings. On another level!
N. D.
Very surprising place! Especially if you go at night when the market is closed, you wonder where you'll end up. But the atmosphere is warm, people are nice, dancing starts early and joyfully, cocktails are decent and cheap though very light, music is mostly great funk, but the DJ transitions are pretty poor ^^ anywhere always a good night, and don't forget to try the nice exotic food!!
R. C.
Hipster place with fun vibes and great music. Also good pub snacks (dumplings and tofu fries were delicious!)
W. J.
Prime hackney. Disco, good crowd, good cheap drinks, great ambience. Put on some funky clothes and have a good time
A. L.
Good vibes going on here with mainly 20s-40s age group. Beers and cocktails, great Mojitos 😉! It gets packed on the weekends, so if you don't mind major shoulder rubbing, you will love it here. Only bad point I'd say is the location of the toilets, you have to squeeze your way through the busy dance floor everytime. Good points - No entrance fee, smoking area outside
C. P.
During the day Ridley Road is a great place to buy a big bowl of fruit for £1. At night, when the venders are gone and only a leftover fishy smell lingers, Ridley Road Market Bar becomes the highlight of the street. They have a fun small selection of drinks, better than average staffing, and a lively little dance floor with good DJs. Typical DJs there tend to play hits that get people dancing, but also aren’t afraid to veer out of the mainstream so you may find a new favourite dance tune there.
Good place to go with a couple friends and possibly make some new ones. It’s usually free entry. Don’t show up too late or you will be queuing in a one in one out situation on the street.
C. M.
Cheap cocktails (like £6 in London) and great disco music! Had a blast!
E. R.
Amazing music, decent space 👌 the frozen cocktails and the gin and blood orange are especially good
L. S.
Always plays the best music and has a reasonable mix of fun cocktails and ‘trendy’ beers. Has a kitsch vibe - imagine your nan returning from a holiday to Miami in 1982 and dedicating her shed to a tropical chill out room. Slice girls pizza is delicious and although it often gets busy you’ll deffo feel like it’s ‘your little place’. I love it here.
C. E.
Very quirky bar, loved the decor and the music......staff seemed a bit off thou
R. O.
It was good music, floor was sticky and wet so hard to dance. However I liked the frozen cocktails 😊
L. S.
Had a great time with my friends here :) friendly staff, great drinks, fab food
M. E.
Perfect atmosphere, lovely staff, excellent frozen cocktails, and great music. One of the security team can be a tad rude or abrupt at times, but the rest is great!
L. L.
I love coming here. Nice simple cocktails and frozen cocktails, as well as beers and all the usual. Dance floor and music is great.
Bar staff are usually friendly.
Before a certain time you can drink outside in summer which is great.
Worth noting it’s card only.
A. B.
Good 80s hits and reasonably priced drinks (£3.50 for a beer can). Great cocktails and really busy on the weekends. When I went it was a little too busy- slightly uncomfortable on the dance floor, but round the edges and near the bar you could move a little more. Nice place, and no entry fee..! Will definitely be going back.
P.
4/10 or 5. Ridley is a sound lad. Heard great things. Never been.
T. C.
Really cool little bar, great music and cheap beer.
M. D.
A small but great place for a night with disco tunes. No matter the weather outside, the atmosphere is warm and funky. Because of the size of the place the line does get very long, so do your self a favor and arrive before 10.30 (you can also have one of their pizzas in that case).
D. I.
What a place. Always guaranteed a good night. The ginger mojito is a firm favourite and whether you want to drink, dance or people watch this place will definitely make you smile. Always good watching people’s faces as they walk down Ridley Road market wondering where on Earth they’re heading before finding this hidden oasis.
L.
Sweet place with good prices for good drinks. Young crowd, all up for a fun time. The speakers are really bad quality and therefore the music is a bit noisy rather than pleasant. But other than that, a quirky bar with a great atmosphere. Definitely worth a try :)
G. D.
Free entry..no queue before 11pm..lovely old music and amazing "strange"people... Cheap cocktails 5£ and can of beer 3£.

Hello I would like to leave my feedback. The first time I was at the bar was last Thursday, I liked it so much that I came back on Friday. My intention of this review and congratulate one of the security guards unfortunately I do not remember her name. When it was ten to eleven they warned us that after 11pm glasses outside was not allowed. Then, at 11pm there was a man smoking and drinking, security told him as soon as you finish your cigarette please come in, glasses are not allowed outside. However he had a friend with him and that friend was not smoking. She very politely asked him to come in or leave the glass inside and come back because he was not smoking. But believe me she was very polite. And they started an argument with her. I explain it more than 3x the license and until 11pm. And the client didn't even want to know. In the end. After much dialogue she tried to explain, he was removed from the scene. I would really like to be able to remember her name and leave my congratulations, she does an excellent job, friendly, polite. My intention to do this review and make it clear that I saw the whole situation. Because some people think they are a customer, they are always right. Fact occurred 01/31/2020 I hope I could have helped
J. P.
Great music and delicious and cheap slushy cocktails. Quiet in the early evenings but livens up a lot at night and the dance floor gets going. Staff can be a little surly and I wish they'd lighten up slightly. Service is fine though and all in all this is a good place.
R. B.
Really nice bar to have a cheap drink or pizza. Good music, like disco or pop. Crow is really heterogeneous. Decoration is cool.tger is a terrace also. Something it gets really packed, if u come late u Will have to queue.
S. T.
Fun venue to bring a group of mates for a dance. It's 70s themed and the decor reflects this. The drinks are relatively cheap for the area which is a bonus. There can be queues during busy periods, but the good news is there's an awesome hot dog stand for you to take advantage of.
J. F.
Good drinks, great staff, funky music on a Friday. Great spot a bit hidden away. Get there early if you're with a group to get an inside table. If you're with a date the dance floor has you covered.
E. M.
Good lil vibe happy place and enviroment staff attentive but in honesty i would not recommend the wine as the brand they use was not to our groups likeing atall....overall a place to end the evening in a chilled atmosphere but not somewhere to go for a proper drink!
W. L.
An awesome bar in the middle of Ridley Road Market. LOVE the atmosphere and the music they spin here. Often, they have a stall at the front selling pizzas etc for the hungry ones. £2.50 for a red stripe. Definitely a place to go for a great night.
N. 1.
I reckon this is my favourite bar in London. Great atmosphere, fun music, excellent ginger mojitos... I'd probably be in here most weekends if I lived in Dalston. Arrive by 10pm on a Friday/Saturday or expect to queue!
M. M.
This is classic Dalston! Great bar, the décor and music are my faves ... Feels like a cool gathering in a portable classroom or office ... So wrong, so right.
Drinks, staff, music and customers are amazing. Always fun to be had.
D. J.
This place has heart and edge in abundance. Good music, great vibes, lovely staff, good value well made drinks, what more do you need? The toilets are shite and they could sort that out, but hey you can't have everything...
D. M. d. C.
Kinda fun place to swing to at the end of the night. There's a bit of an office feel to the decor. Crowd didn't seem up for dancing but still had a good time. Bouncers were really fair and friendly.
K. S.
Great value. Cocktails £5-6. Nice atmosphere.
S. S.
Wonderfully chilled oasis in the centre of Dalston. 70s decor, funky jazz and pizza... what more could you ask for?! Vodka is off the menu, but otherwise doubles with a mixer is £5 all round.
J. C.
Chilled out affordable tiki bar. Good music, good pizzas, cheap beer. Cocktails arent amazing but they are only a fiver so can't complain.
L. W.
Lovely to get a drink late night and then dance off till the morning. Also great pizza in the early evening if you are hungry!
T. S. L.
Meet Dalston’s finest party spot run by the Aussie born Kerry, Ridley Road Market bar. The perfect place for a fun filled night out with a non-pretentious feel, cheap double shot cocktails for a fiver and an all-are-welcome door policy. No wonder why weekend queues start as early as 9pm/10pm in winter/summer – it’s just too good. The ginger mojitos are a killer, so too are the alcoholic slushis or fresh juices served with generous helpings of rum or gin. When it comes to music, the local loveable spot plays everything from Motown, hip-hip, soul, and funk and is never one to shy away from a healthy helping of Maria Carey come the early hours.

Loved this place. Great vibe, good music selection, nice pizzas and some great beers. Neighbourhood looks a bit sketchy at night though.
H. I.
Here is the perfect place to purchase all your fresh fruits and vegetables from all over including the Caribbean. Seafood of all sorts and sizes, in shells and scales even crabs and African giant snails.
J. V.
Staff so lovely and queer and friendly. Quiet on weekdays. Full on weekends. Stoned baked pizza, quite reasonably priced.
S. M.
Really amazing place in a area, where I normally wouldn't go, but found it on Google, and it was Worth the Long way by bus :D cozy, mix of pepole , dancing to the endless reggae musical from different dj's
They make the best pizzas !!
L. M.
First time good atmosphere vintage reggae music vibe good mix young and old enjoying music and food every second Sunday. Of the month.
H. P.
Fun bar with dance floor at the back and classic tunes. Shame about the unnecessary strict and slow door policy that made us queue to get in.
C. P.
It’s cool - not many cocktails, but super laid back. Gets really warm and sweaty inside.

(Translated) The place is fun, but nothing special, music for four, prices do not bite. The beer is not very good here.

Местечко веселое, но ничего особенного, музыка на четверку, цены не кусаются. Пиво тут не очень.
