Pub's reopened under new management 3 weeks ago!
Indeed it was almost relegated to the recent gentrification of Tower Hamlets, destined to become apartments like so many other pubs long gone from around the area. But thanks to local petitioning & new owners its back on track & open from 5 Monday thru Saturday, & doing Sunday roasts from midday till 7. Kitchen's open every evening as well.
Beer range boasts several locally sourced ales (Brodie's, London Fields, Sambrooks), lager and wheat beer (Meantime), as well as a few imports & standards like Krombacher, Heineken, Guiness & Leffe.
Definitely worth a look if for nothing but curiosity's sake - events also happening in the downstairs venue during the week (comedy, kareoke..) and weekends (DJs, theme nights).

presumably another pub gone as part of tower hamlets cockney ethnic cleansing policy

Closed at the moment. The bar is still in place and the lights are on but its been stripped of all bottles and most furniture.
Anyone know whats happening to the place?

Visited the Sebright a few months ago my how things change. I used to work there for a delightful couple Jack and John affectionately know by all the locals that lived next door to the Krays as Jack & Jill. Friedly pub good cabaret, Dockyard Doris (rip) Tommy Osbourne and a grand old music hall night on thursday. Now replaced by a pub full of plastic gangsters who also all lived next door to the Krays (How long was Valance Road any way)

Hi
Visited the Sebright on Friday 20th May 2005.
Good crowd of people, music good when it "started"
at 10.0PM.
Astounded our drink prices went up, when we first went in round was 4.80 next was fiver, and then 6.00

An east end institution if all my Bow/Hackney oldtimer mates are to be believed! Fantastic place, bring the family, sing your heart out and dine in style! Long live the Sebright!

Recently moved to the area, and have been very impressed with this place. Lots of room, friendly staff, cheap drinks and no sign of any bother.

This Public House caters for all ages with Kareoke on Thursday night, Friday live music which caters for the 25 to the young sixty age group, Saturday live music for all ages, Sunday you can have your lunch which is of good value and then you can stay for more live music to finish off your week-end. I have yet to see a
down and out drunk in this pub or any problems with fights. The regular drinkers will make any newcomer welcome and only to pleased to get the into their conversation and debates. I woukld recomend The Sebright Arms to anyone. From a regular user

Who ever this person is needs to revisit.this pub is not a trouble pub it has a good sunday lunch on offer and seats many families and their children. there is entertainment of a week end and nice mid week trade many hard working people who enjoy a game of pool and a friendly chat.

This place reminds me of the pub in American Werewolf in London - it's like conversation stops when any non-local enters. Music is played far too loudly and the famous "music hall night" is usually a disorderly collation of acts that are well past their sell-by date. There is also a fight just about every other Saturday!

Dark, dingy interior. Proper East End clientele - i.e. old alcoholics, their wives, their great-grandchildren, all telling the jokes that they heard 50 years ago from Charlie Kray's wife's sister's niece. Good points: open until 12 every night & does an after-hours lock-in every Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Bad points: you need to be one of the aforementioned insiders (and over 25) to qualify, otherwise you run the risk of getting chucked out at 11.
Does a cabaret/music hall night every Thursday, uses a lot of transvestites that don't really deserve the proud title of drag queen, but quite fun if you're into the archaeology of popular entertainment. Beer nothing to write home about, tables outside.
