The beloved boozer is being brought back to life
The Gun on Well Street, which had hosted residences from Ling Ling’s, Rake and Supa Ya Ramen, closed in March of last year due to unsustainable rising costs, and it was a big loss for Hackney locals. But you can’t keep a good pub down and now The Gun is being brought back to life.
The new Instagram account states ‘Come for the Guinness. Stay for the Wagyu’, which sounds very promising. According to Hot Dinners, The Gun’s new owner is Kotaro Ogawa, who is also the man behind high-end steakhouse Aragawa in Mayfair, where steaks can cost up to £230 per 100g. We don’t know anything else about the new-look pub (or the prices) as yet but we’ll be keeping an eye on this one so watch this space….
