Is this some kind of joke? The Apple Tree, tucked away on Mount Pleasant, is no ordinary pub. It’s a colourful haven for the unconventional, a place where alternative lifestyles and LGBTQ+ communities find a welcoming home. Dating back to the 1720s, The Apple Tree has witnessed centuries of change in Clerkenwell. Today, it stands as a beacon of inclusivity, a place where everyone is welcome, regardless of race, gender, sexuality, or even species – yes, dogs are welcome too! Step inside, and you’ll find yourself in a bohemian living room, complete with mismatched furniture and rainbow bunting. The Apple Tree is all about real-life experiences. They host everything from life drawing and immersive theatre to open mics and drag cabarets. You might even stumble upon a queer clothes swap! While the pub’s location might be a bit off the beaten path, it’s this hidden-away charm that makes The Apple Tree so special. It’s a neighbourhood pub with a difference, a place to escape the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary. So, come on in, grab a cocktail with a home-made infusion, and experience the unique spirit of The Apple Tree. You might just find your people here.
