About Main Bar
60 Standing / Reception
The Main Bar at Folklore186 brings together everything we love about East London celebrations in one wonderfully eclectic space. Rich exposed brick meets vintage leather bar stools, while colourful patterned cushions scatter across plush sofas that have hosted countless wedding toasts and first dances. Your guests gather around our textured wooden bar, where German lagers flow from the taps and our bartenders craft cocktails from recipes refined through years of late-night celebrations. The high-backed leather stools become perfect perches for friends catching up between dances, while the comfortable seating areas draped in mismatched fabrics create intimate corners for quieter conversations. Morning light pours through our front windows, transforming the space into a sun-drenched setting for daytime receptions. As evening arrives, string lights and unique pendant lamps cast that perfect warm glow across your celebration. We've watched couples share their first dance right where the vintage furniture usually sits, the same spot where jazz musicians perform on Tuesday nights. The Main Bar comfortably hosts 60 guests for reception-style celebrations, creating that perfect balance where everyone feels part of the occasion without losing the intimate atmosphere. Just minutes from Hoxton, Shoreditch High Street and Old Street stations, your guests find us easily tucked into this vibrant neighbourhood. Our bar stays open until 1am on weekdays and 3am on weekends, keeping the celebration flowing as long as you want. While we don't have a kitchen, the incredible takeaway options surrounding us mean your catering choices are endless, from traditional wedding fare to something completely unexpected. We're happy to work with your chosen caterers or recommend our trusted partners who know the space well. Every wedding here feels different because couples arrange the vintage furniture to suit their vision, creating their own version of this characterful East London space.
