Hare, Bethnal Greenback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
This is currently my favourite pub within walking distance of Broadway market. Broad range of customer, good and good beer.
Back in the late 90's some I enjoyed drinking in some of the better pubs in E8 if only for their diverse and sometimes quirky customer base. This situation has now changed and former favourites such as the Pub on the Park and the Dove (although the latter is still well run) are frequented by just one minority section of local society, comfortably off and fashionable white people who probably would have chosen to rent near Clapham common had they been born 7 years earlier.

In the sense that I have a local pub this is my local, and I'm very loyal to it. I don't go there every week so it's testament to how friendly and welcoming it is that I consider it a local. I've been drinking here for about 3 years and have always felt happy to be there. I've been drinking there less since I've given up smoking as it has such a great smoking garden which I remember very fondly, and timer heaters and even a telly in the outside for watching football. The landlord's great and will even put on first division football games. It has a really good pool table and a juke box, and does cash back at the bar. The people working and drinking there are really friendly. It gets super busy after Vyner Street openings.

Happened in here whilst killing time recently on a Saturday, and very glad I did - perfect place to make you feel at home when kicking your heels somewhere you dont know much. Football on telly, not too loud, good bunch of patrons, good bar service and a good flavour of the area. They obviously care - at the Hare.

Family-friendly. Recently refurbished and with two cask ales available: Timothy Taylor Landlord and Greene King IPA. Not too difficult to reach from Old Street or Bethnal Green by bus, and a friendly welcoming team of staff work the bar.
Although my first visit was Saturday (playing for a wedding) I could sense the spaciousness that has been generated by moving the bar several feet back from the front of the pub.
A good pub, well worth a visit.

Was in here last weekend, Beer was good and the bloke working the bar was friendly.... always a good start.
We got a table no problem, great pub to sit in, mellow with IPA and try and sort the worlds problems with your mates.

Nice friendly pub that seems ignored a bit. But ideal if you desire a quick drink and a seat and table

This is a real find this one, good ale on tap, pool table, lots of old street signage on the walls, a pleasant landlord and some comfy(ish) chesterfields. Plenty of local characters and a spot-on, cobbled alley location by the railwa lines. Don't be put off by the "Travellers by appointlent only" signs on the front door! This is exactly the kind of pub where everyone should drink!
