Street Art from the now-closed Far Rockaway Bar in Shoreditch

I previously had lunch at the Far Rockaway Bar, which was located on Curtain Road in Shoreditch. I only visited the once with a work colleague back in 2014, and I enjoyed it and always wanted to visit again. Not long after that visit and I attempted to visit it again, but it was closed for refurbishment. It never seemed to open after that when I walked past it. It was an American-style diner and bar with USA-themed items and a collection of artwork and action figures, amongst sports items. I really liked it,a nd I loved that a lot of street artists painted inside.

There was this huge collection of action figures, which was pretty awesome.

And skateboards lined one of the ceilings.

Street artists, such as HIN, painted some artwork for the walls.

Saki and B*tches also painted the walls in one of the rooms with her fantasy women.

I had a chicken burger with onion rings, and I enjoyed it.

I wanted to visit again to enjoy more food (onion rings!) and cocktails, but I never got to. I had hoped to visit here for my work-leaving party back in early 2015, but it did not happen. It is unfortunate that it doesn't exist because there was a lot more street art there that I never got to photograph, and I only had an old camera with me, so the photographs did not come out well.
