In reply to Edradour:
The area is littered with bars & clubs, music venues. Narrow it down a bit. What do you like? On the other hand you could just go on a crawl down brick lane and meet people talk to them and find something entirely random & fantastic. Make sure you take out a mortgage, a night on the ale buying rounds is easily going to cost 100-150 quid. Can't speak for Angel, too many chain bars and restaurants for me.
