FANCY A FREE DRINK? Head for super Hackney pub the Virgin Queen.

This boutique boozer is offering Loving Dalston readers their drink of choice. Show this page on your phone or tablet to bar staff and say the word of the day. It’s in pink italic at the end of this article.

Once 150 people have taken up the offer, it will end.

The VQ is a short stroll south of Broadway Market and just north of the wide cycle path near Haggerston city farm. The pub is dog-friendly, so a free drink of water for your pooch, too.
