"Keeping live music well and alive in east London, Dalston Jazz Bar is often packed to the rafters on Friday and Saturday nights out. It became an instant hit with its no entry fee, setting a minimum tab of £20 and left the rest to the visitors’ discretion. When it comes to food, choose from a visibly Caribbean-inspired menu with dishes like tropical tiger king prawns served up with sweet chilli sauce or a vegan option consisting of plantain, spinach, ackee, sweet potato patty, breadfruit and yam — the latter three also find their way into the hearty exotic vegetarian soup. Starch and produce will surely provide enough sustenance for even the fastest of metabolisms to dance and sway into the night." - Riaz Phillips
