Rolling Stock

Rolling Stock was an excellent choice of venue for a startup presentation I attended not so long ago. As the launch was for a website compiling free venues for art exhibitions, this proved a winner all round. The organisers made good use of the exhibitions space and held a presentation in the main bar.
Rolling Stock was the real winner, though, as the bar was packed out with people who had not been here previously. Partly because it’s really easy to miss and doesn’t look very inviting from Kingsland Road — just a big door under the railway arches. I actually walked right past it and had to turn back when I checked the street number.
It is the sort of bar that makes me wish I like beer a lot more than I do. The choice of interesting looking bottles was impressive. The wine was ok, too, but seemed like a boring choice considering. They also do cocktails, so cater for all tastes.
Leaving through the gallery at the back opened up another world — there is a large open space on the other side of the railway arches which is bound to be packed in the summer.
