Overlooking the River Lea in Hackney Wick, Giant Steps is a new multi-purpose drinking and dancing venue from the team behind buzzy Dalston bar-restaurant Brilliant Corners and sound connoisseurs The Analogue Foundation. The 500-capacity waterside terrace will play host to live music, World Cup screenings, pop-up eateries and a well-stocked bar serving craft beer and cocktails. Then right next door you'll find a swanky new indoor music venue featuring a top-notch analogue sound system. Brilliant Corners has welcomed DJ sets from the likes of Jamie xx and Four Tet, so expect the music to be as impeccable as the riverside setting.
It's open now, Wednesday through Sunday, until September 26.
