The old Hobby Horse, now taken over by the guys who used to run the legendary Stag's Head, The Victory promises all the general mayhem of the owners former pub, but in a much more intimate setting.

OK, so the garden is not much more than a small patch of slabs, but The Victory makes up for the lack of out door drinking by having one of the coolest basement bars in all Shoreditch. Attracting a lot of promoters who used to put things on at the Stag's, it is quickly becoming one of the best places to hang out on Kingsland Road.
