The Shacklewell Arms is a pub and music venue on Shacklewell Lane in Dalston, London. [1] It was built in the 1870s and was originally known as The Green Man after a free house that had stood there before. [2] [3]
From the late 1980s to the early 2010s it was a Saint Lucian pub, and has retained some of the décor from this time. [2] In 2011 it was taken over by Tom Baker, a local gig promoter with Eat Your Own Ears, and Dan Crouch, also involved with The Lock Tavern in Camden. It has since become a popular live music venue for small bands. [2] [1] [4] Unusually for the surrounding area, the Shacklewell Arms has a large garden and courtyard space out the back. [2]
The pub has sponsored tent stages at London festivals Field Day and Wide Awake. [5] [6]
A scene from the Black Mirror episode "Eulogy" was shot in the gig room. [3]
