Singer Tavern is a pub and dining room at 1 City Road, where Shoreditch meets the City of London. The name nods to the building’s history as a former Singer sewing machine factory, while the present day space has the easygoing energy of a busy neighbourhood bar.
The kitchen brings Mediterranean influence to a broad pub menu. Small plates and sharing dishes make a natural start for a group, while burgers, fish and chips and shepherd’s pie offer familiar, more substantial choices for lunch or dinner.
Seasonal ingredients and a mixture of lighter and richer dishes give diners room to shape the meal around the occasion. The food works as well for an informal plate at the bar as it does for a table ordering several courses and dessert.
Craft beer and cask options are joined by wine, spirits and cocktails, keeping the drinks selection central to the Singer Tavern experience. Its City Road position and relaxed service make it useful for after work gatherings, weekend drinks and unhurried meals.
Address: 1 City Road, London EC1Y 1AG, England
