Always go in here when my team Hartlepool are playing the O's. It is a decent size pub and ideal for games, i.e. not posh, serves beer and normally has a good atmosphere.
We always seem to have a decent following in here and its often vocal without anybody getting a bit worried that we'll cause a riot!
It seems to be the main away pub in the area although there is normally a good number of home fans as well. I would recommend a visit if your team are playing at Orient.

Went to watch my beloved team play Orient and popped in this dive. Can't say a good word about it. The place has the worse Christmas decorations I have ever seen. Beer was terrible and expensive. Was told by a local that the Landlord has the weirdest haircut in Leyton. Can't even get that right?

Excellent pub,friendly bar staff,had a few good nights in here when visiting family in Leyton.

The only place to go really if you're a visiting away supporter to Leyton Orient. Not a bad place really, a few big screens to watch the footie on. Recommended.

This pub looks like it should be rough from the outside but its a really good boozer and the atmosphere is always friendly. Its particularly cosey around christmas when the decorations are completely over the top but perfect
Lionel Richie is the best landlord ever

Good pub on Leyton High Street, looks seriously dilapidated from the outside, but a big, comfortable boozer inside. London Pride and Adnam's both well-kept and not too pricey, same for the filled rolls (basic ham/cheese selction). Also has big screen football and is festooned with flags from UK, Ireland, Jamaica and a few teams that have visited Orient in the past. If visiting Orient as an away fan you shouldn't get any trouble in here.

not a bad pub, staff are good, went to wathc united vs orient, some orient lads in there, but friendly atmosphere as 10 german bombers was sung by all!

Agreed a good pub for pre and post match drinks - although can get a bit naughty. Depends on who's playing the O's I suppose.
PS - That's not Lionel Richie, think ex-playschool presenter Derek Griffiths...

Visited on Saturday 30th August before Leyton Orient v Cheltenham. Not busy when we arrived at 1pm but soon filled up.
Yes - Lionel Ritchie still works there!! The bar staff put the cricket on for us Gloucestershire fans (!) and there was some friendly banter with the bar staff.
Went in after the game too, and chatted with very friendly locals/Orient fans.
Didn't stay for the evening singalong disco which looked like good entertainment.
Recommended pub.

Not bad, it's got a local feel, no real ale, noisy from TV and music, spacious and has pool but you do get stared at by the regulars when it's quiet. OK for a neutral meeting point but don't stay long.
