The Egg is a pretty cool venue, but on most nights I hear its been a bit Hoxtonized - it was at the Haywire I attended anyway. The upstairs is cool. It's kind of like a chalet attic, with angled ceilings, and lots of seating. The main floor is kind of squareish, with really busy lights. That was a bit over-the-top for me, but nothing that couldn't be tamed in different hands. The best bit (meeting your chillout criteria) is the astroturfed patio area (which may be a bit cold if this weather continues into the crapness it seems to be heading into today) - but it's definitely a place you could head to have a break, a smoke - whatever. The review above probably highlights too many negatives without doing justice to the positives, but that night I went I was on the wagon and was really not in the mood for 140-150 bpm Weatherall electro and a lengthy series of night buses - should have stayed home. That said, Rick Hopkins played a wicked set to start the night. Also, I would much rather head to Lost @ The Egg than Heaven, or Hell (Canary Warf ;), especially at 2:30.
