Let’s reeeeewind to the long weekend one more time! ⏪

Proper summer setup on the terrace, DJs on the decks, and Hak Baker & friends absolutely smashing the All Dayer with Reef House Lager taking care of the cold pints. It doesn’t get much better. 🙌

Man, you just had to be there. 🤌❤️‍🔥

Last Sunday’s all-dayer with Hak Baker & Friends was exactly what The Star By Hackney Downs is all about. From a sun-soaked terrace to inside the pub, it was the true East London way to do a bank holiday.

Huge love to Hak, Reef House Lager, the full lineup, and every single one of you who brought the heat. 🙌

This is the exact energy we’re carrying through the entire summer. No letting up. ☀️🔊
