Two sides of a classic Hackney pub
The Crown and Half Crown Pub & Guesthouse is a dynamic duo nestled in the heart of Hackney, each offering its own unique flair. The Crown, a traditional pub with a cosy beer garden, has been a beloved local haunt for years. Its slightly cooler relative, The Half Crown, adds a fresh vibe to the mix as the newest addition to the pub. With live music, sports events, karaoke nights, and more, there’s never a dull moment here. Whether it’s a laid-back weekday pint or a lively weekend celebration, we’ve got something for everyone. Come in the door that suits you, wander between the two, settle wherever feels right.
And if you’re looking for a place to rest your head after a night of fun, our boutique guesthouse with 16 stylish bedrooms awaits. Winners of 4 in a Bed, we pride ourselves on offering a comfortable and welcoming stay.

Two Pubs, One Local
Located on Mare Street, we’re right in the centre of Hackney and very much a locals’ local. Whether you wander into The Crown and settle in for the night or prefer the feel of The Half Crown, there’s always something happening here. In The Crown you’ll find regular karaoke and live music nights, the kind of evenings that take on a life of their own. Next door in The Half Crown, we keep things lively with a weekly quiz, the best pub bingo in the area, and a great mix of music and DJs at the weekends. Two different spaces, side by side, all part of the same house. Drift between the two, find your spot, and make yourself at home.
