Attached to the newly refurbished Hackney Empire and named after one of the great Music Hall artistes who used to perform there, the Lloyd is perfect for a tipple in the interval or after a visit to it’s parent venue.

What sets it apart is the roster of live music, open mic and poetry nights which make it worth stopping by even when the Empire is resting.

An 80s retro-cool feel, some Tracey Emin artwork and a fashionista crowd complete the experience and make this much more than just another theatre bar.
