Life is a lot like jazz: it's better when you improvise. So why not throw caution to the wind and get on down to Stage 3 At Hackney Empire for some runaway grooves, Indonesian treats and cocktails. Pick a main that tickles your fancy, then add some rice, pickles and prawn crackers along with an exotic bespoke cocktail before sitting back and let the free-flowing jazz wash over you. Over 18s only. Valid ID required. Food is served until 9:30pm. Live music begins at 9pm (subject to delays). Venue is open until 1am Thursdays and 2am Fridays and Saturdays.
