Cock Tavern, Hackneyback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
This place seems a bit sparse on the fixtures and furniture, but it is a bit deceptive as there is a pool table, dartboard, projector screen and plasma. It feels a little grubby and there is only a selection of standard draught, but my Guinness was good and the barmaid was very friendly.
As mentioned, there is no real ale and I found it difficult to get comfortable so I doubt that I’d return if in the area.

oops: The below comment from me should be for the Old Ship, just down the road.
The Cock, on the other hand, looks rather uninviting from the outside, but other posters are correct - it's a friendly, proper pub.

Well, its nice enough, I suppose, but hardly groundbreaking. BBC News 24 was the entertainment there on a Friday night and the eating only section was deserted. The homemade black pudding looked interesting though.

I've only been to this pub once but I had the most amazing time -- for starters it has free food, free pool and a free juke box, which is brilliant. The food is sandwiches on the bar such as cheese and pickle, yum. I went there with my sister and we quickly attracted the attention of the boys on the pool table as we were anxiously looking over at it hoping we might get a game but not sure how to go about it because it was free. They quickly welcomed us into their group and we had a few games and they were impressed by our skills. I got chatting to one very nice boy and was suprised to hear he had a tag on his leg from some sort of misunderstanding leaving another pub in the area and the kerfuffle that followed, and had to be home by 9pm or he'd start beeping. My sis made friends with another guy who took us off with his mate to a party at his friend's cafe bar, and we got in a bit of trouble on the bus on the way home that resulted in our new friends being thrown off the bus by London transport police but it was all really friendly. Tag leg called me a few times afterwards but i didn't answer.

Yes there is no airs and graces but dive dive dive..I assure you not. This is by far the FRIENDLIEST pub in Hackney. Great beer and great service. Best looking and best working barmaids in Hackney.
Never any trouble and the best craic and music around.

No airs and graces, but a friendly enough place, where you won`t get hassled, and you can just sit down and soak up the genuine Hackney atmosphere
|
Might be a bit of a dive, but serves a good, cheap pint and never seen any trouble in there. Not special, but not bad either.
|
