Thai food gone downhill since they changed kitchen staff a few weeks ago. Steer clear of the bitter in here too, they have no idea how to keep it.

Pub is ok, nice few teles around to watch the football cheap enough beer as well not had a bad pint when ive been there.
Not good when they say sorry closing early tonight for the Jack the Ripper tour party coming in.

Has a dart board which isn't crowded into a corner, cheap Broon Ale, and a big screen and lots of TV's for when the footy is on. Also doesn't attract any of the students from the Uni next door which can only be a bonus. Sometimes less is more

absolutly awful, the so called manager is rude and does no work, the staff haven't a clue and i've never got the drink i have asked for.
thai food downstairs is lovely they'd be better in charge

This is a tough pub to rate because the service is slow and the beer isn't very good. On the other hand the Thai food served in the basement at lunchtimes is some of the best I've ever had. Much better than Thai Square restaurant on the other side of Aldgate.
This makes it a great place for lunch but poor for anything else.
(WARNING: don't eat upstairs as it serves standard grub at a slow pace)

Another Thorley Tavern. Thorleys should be added to 'chain bars' list on this site as Frank & Phillip Thorley are hoping to be the next JD Wetherspoon. God help us all!!! I actually worked behind this bar for 2 days. The food is fantastic, actual proper thais come in to do the cooking and take all the money made from the food. The booze is lousy cos Thorley buys it in cheap. $$$$$$$$$
Cack atmosphere, grotty part of London. Walk 5mins in any direction and you will find a much better boozer.

Used to use this on Friday lunchtimes as it was not busy, but after a few poor pints and messed up food orders I've had to blacklist it.

Part of the Thorley Taverns chain - this one close to Aldgate East tube station (but aren't they all?) Lots of wooden interiors - especially in the basement, but not a lot of atmosphere. The real ales tasted really awful, and the Kronenbourg was warm and had an odd flavour. However the Thai food at lunchtimes smelled and tasted excellent.
