Helgi's is a rock bar and live music venue in the heart of East London, uniquely decorated with a dark and psychedelic atmosphere. The building has been here since the 1800s, a part of old Hackney, as can be seen across several rooms filled with character.
The venue has been used for talks, film screenings, seminars, markets, launch parties, filming, photoshoots, exhibitions, and regularly features live bands and vinyl DJ's to packed rooms. As well as the main bar area at the front, there is a large private back room with its own bar and a maze like route to the toilet and washroom area, which is its own unique experience. Any of the rooms or the entire space can lend itself to whatever event or creative venture you have in mind.
18+ only.
***Bookings available from Sunday to Wednesday***
Full PA system, backline (drums, guitar amps, microphones), film projector, DVD player, vinyl DJ decks and mixer are available for use at extra cost.
The private back room of Helgi's, features it's own bar, sound system, removable furniture and where many varied events have been hosted, such as talks, film screenings, launches, birthday parties, markets, fashion shows and much more.

December 2024Absolutely epic bar, love the vibe and the staff are exceptional. Was there recently for a friend's birthday and they were all so lovely and accommodating. Xoxo

October 2024Excellent late night bar. Friendly bar team, and amazing atmosphere. Draught beer isn’t always perfect but cocktails and canned options are brilliant.

December 2024This is my favorite bar in London. It’s hard-rock/space-rock themed, there is a vintage black-light poster wall, a performance space, & hard rock vinyl djs on certain nights. Their giant gin & tonic schooner is a crowd favorite. It’s not for the faint-of-heart. The bathrooms are decorated with collages that I can’t post on social media because of the adult content. Helgi’s is open seven nights a week & is open late on weekends, making it a favorite hang.
