The Black Eel, a new pub and social hub in Dalston, is now open, combining old East London spirit with modern energy.
Taking over a Grade II listed building, formerly one of the East-End's oldest pie and mash shops, The Black Eel brings Exale Brewing's community spirit and playful flair to a historic landmark.
The building features a historic tiled shopfront, arched windows, and an original 1862 doorway mosaic, making it a cornerstone of Dalston life.
