Five questions about the building, not the gig

What this room is like

Nobody has answered yet

Nobody has said what this room sounds like

294 concerts logged here and not one answer yet. Five taps - the place itself, then the sound, the sightlines, getting in and out and what the bar charges - and this page starts telling people what Hackney Empire is actually like to stand in. There is room to write about it as well - one entry each, added to over the years.

Written on the way home

What people wrote about nights here

  • A guest 80% on King Crimson · Tue, 08 Sep 2015

    I am not a King Crimson fan. I love Progressive music but never had the chance to spend time on King Crimson. They blew me away. I will definitely now make more time for them.
