Hello and welcome to The Gun, a genuine East London pub built in 1860 or thereabouts. We took it over in June 2014 and gave it a respectful lick of paint. 

Having worked in the industry for a few too many years we thought we should have a crack at opening a pub we would love to eat, drink and spend time in. 

We serve beer from independent brewers, artisan spirits, carefully selected wines and classic cocktails. Friends and acquaintances come in and play records every weekend, now and then we throw in a special guest and the odd late license to keep things interesting.  

We think The Gun is a good local. Come eat, drink and dance with us some time.

Our current kitchen is provided by Meltdown Cheeseburgers - burgers & sides from Wednesday to Sunday. Accepting reservations on Resy and walk-ins.

- until May 5th -

THE FIRST FLOOR

Our first floor is our restaurant, with the kitchen run by Ling Ling's, serving up Modern Chinese / Vietnamese inspired dishes. It also includes a delightful roof terrace where you can enjoy your pint and watch the world go by. It has a cover and heaters for the good old British weather.

THE GUN POWDER ROOM

It's our secret dining room, it holds 12 people and can be booked for intimate dining and private drinks. Special menus available on request. We will fill a cupboard and a fridge full of booze and basically leave you alone for the whole night. Give us a shout and we will arrange a selection of the finest booze to suit your tastes.

If you would like to reserve the Gun Powder Room, please email us at bookings@localsclub.co.uk

Wheelchair access to The Gun

There is a bell that rings behind the bar from a button at chair height from our middle door that faces Cresset Rd. (Not the front doors). Upon hearing the bell our staff will greet you and bring our ramp out and hold the door. 

Unfortunately we do not have wheelchair access toilets, due to the age of the building and confined space available. 
We apologize for the inconvenience caused. 

If you’ve ever visited the pub you would of noticed a framed football shirt hanging pride of place. This is the shirt of our very own (16/17 Double Winners) Gun FC. A proper 11-a-side, Sunday pub team with the infamous Hackney Marshes as our home ground.
