These are some Night Tales worth listening to…
Some pop-ups are like summer flings: two weeks of hedonistic bliss, and then they’re gone, leaving behind only memories. Some are like old friends: you haven’t seen them in a while, but they’ll be back and life will be just as it was. Night Tales falls into the latter category, making a welcome return two years after their last venture ended. The pop-up veterans are opening up in Hackney from tomorrow (Friday July 13th), and it’s set to be a humdinger.
Night Tales are moving into Bohemia Place, smack dab in the middle of Hackney. They’re sprucing up a couple of railway arches and a garden, and turning it into a hopping party venue. They’ve gone all in on the decor too; amongst the highlights here are an 8-metre high waterfall, which will come in handy should the heatwave continue.
The pop-up originally made its name as a host for some of London’s best street food vendors, and they’ve not forgotten their roots. Japanese cuisine is on the menu this time, with Fat Baby bringing a custom-made grill for delicious yakitori. Other very important things to look out for is the agave cocktail bar, which quite frankly every pop-up should have, and the swinging day beds, for perverse amounts of relaxation. Meanwhile, the 300 capacity night club will regularly play host to the capital’s top DJs. A perfect chance to celebrate the return of an old friend…
Find it at 14 Bohemia Place, 13-15 The Arches, Hackney, E8 1DU. Nearest station is Hackney Central.
