Ryan's Bar has been a Stoke Newington staple for 25 years. It began and remains family-owned, independent and community-focused. There's great craft beer, cask ale and they stock a wide selection of premium spirits as well as a global wine list. In house Yard Sale Pizzas are delivered to your table. All this, and live music from The Non- Conformists every third Wednesday of the month in the cosy basement bar.
The Non-Conformists started off life performing at the old Vortex on Stoke Newington Church Street N16 and took their name from the Dissenters centred on Newington Green, which included Mary Wollstonecraft in their ranks.
During the lockdowns of 2020 they emerged once again as 'The Four Buskateers' playing outside on the streets of Clapton and Stoke Newington, keeping the flame of music alive.
