Nightlife  

Casa Blue

Casa Blue, Shoreditch

 barryg23 Says:  Casa Blue is a typical Shoreditch bar - trendy, eclectic and just a little bit pretentious. They serve mostly cocktails with only one type beer available (bottled San Miguel). You know it's going to be expensive as there are no prices on the menu. What I like about this...
