One of the few remaining 'old man's pubs' in Hoxton, The Stags Head has recently been refurbished, but don't worry if you're a fan of worn down-East End 'nuclear subs', the land-lord hasn't turned it into one of those über-cool Hoxtonista fashion bars just yet.

Retaining its 1930's interior, The Stags Head has all the things you need from a decent local. There's a smallish collection of beers so you're not confused by endless varieties of German wheat beer and Russian death lager, the pool table only costs 50p and there's a spacious beer garden out back for you to while away the afternoon in.

The pub holds regular live music events on its small stage and best of all, it's just around the corner from our office. Will definitely be seeing you in there!
