Gun Aid - Help us keep the doors open!
Donation protected
********** You have blown our minds AND our target! We have now stopped taking your donations *************
We will now focus on thanking you all and getting you rewards out to you asap. We can't wait to see you when we re open properly.
Lots of love,
The Gun team.
The Gun is a neighbourhood pub built around the community in the heart of Hackney. If you’ve drunk, danced, dined or just hung out with us you’ll know exactly what we mean. A one-off, run by landlords Nick and Hanna Stephens, The Gun is a seven year labour of love that’s the beating heart of Well Street in Hackney.
We host an amazing line up of DJs every single weekend for no charge. Every drink that’s served is consistently top notch and we go out of our way to make sure everyone who comes through the door feels welcome. Many of our locals call it a London institution, and that is what we're most proud of,
The Gun is a small independent business and although there’s been seven years of relative success, when the pandemic hit there wasn’t a massive reserve in the bank . However, this fundraiser isn’t just about our current closure but also about the road ahead. When we do reopen, the pub is likely to run at a loss until a vaccine is found and social distancing measure are dropped and this will be tricky to navigate.
We have proudly built an amazing community of regulars we genuinely call friends and family. To celebrate our people, (once we're safe to do so) we plan on throwing a reopening party to which everyone's welcome. We appreciate that not everyone is financially stable at the moment, so even if you can’t pledge, we’d love for you to join us at the party, everybody gets their first drink on us.
If you can donate, we can’t thank you enough for your support and there are some great rewards to show our appreciation. We look forward to pouring you drinks, seeing friends, dancing under the neon and remembering what makes The Gun so special.
“The Gun is that rarity in London: a ‘proper pub’”
