Not Just a Bar in

Hackney Wick

The Pirates Hub is an independent Italian street food bar and pirate hideout in Hackney Wick, East London.

We serve handcrafted sandwiches, Italian drinks, specialty coffee, and host underground DJ nights in an intimate 3×3 meter space built on identity, not trends.

Small venue. Strong energy.
