The Vibe Bar is located in the old Truman Brewery in Shoreditch, right in the middle of Brick Lane which is currently the epicentre of all things cool and trendy. Founded in 1995, it has built up quite a following with customers from all around the globe.

It has a wide-ranging line up of entertainment that is likely to appeal to almost anyone looking for a fun night out. There is always something going on at Vibe Bar, there are live music events and DJs playing dance music most days of the week.

You might hear a variety of sounds, jazz, African, reggae, Latin, R&B, and some days they have things like karaoke or monologue slams.

It even hosts discussion nights, bringing in academics and professionals to lead discussions about a range of topics such as politics, architecture, and art.

As you might expect, the crowd is often quite hip and fashionable, especially on the weekends, but there is room for everyone in this eclectic place.

The bar hosts the Brick Lane Music Festival every year, a street festival highlighting the area’s cultural offering. Brick Lane is closed to traffic near the various music venues to allow the crowds to move freely. There is live music, great food, and a showcase for new talent from the area.

Over 60,000 people trail into the Brick Lane area for this festival, seeking to experience the buzz of this global mix of cultures and creativity. The Bar is at the centre of all this, hosting live music acts in their spacious courtyard.

Vibe Bar has four large rooms and a very large courtyard which is a popular place to be in nice weather. The décor inside is rather arty with graffiti on the walls and large shabby couches for seating.

Outside, there are large picnic tables to sit at in the courtyard and there is usually something going on the barbeque, anything from South African to Caribbean concoctions might make their way onto the grills. The outdoor area is heated in the winter, making it a year-round place to enjoy al fresco drinking and dining.

The Vibe Bar is one trendy hot spot that makes good on the hype.
