| Having read that its days are numbered, I made a point of visiting what I hoped would be one of the last traditional old style pubs left in Docklands. It looks like I was already a few years too late. The City Pride is pretty much the template on the sort of pubs that leaves me sobbing into the bottom of my pint glass. The characterless and faceless interior has undergone a typical modern refurbishment that leaves lttle of interest or focus. The beer selection was starndard and the only Ale (Tetleys) was off. Prices are high (Guiness £3.60) and served by disinterested euru-staff. There are a couple of raised sections and plenty of pillars to find a tucked away table but ultimately, the ambience is sterile and contrived. The plasma screen was tuned to Kiss FM and supplied an endless diet of dull music. On the plus side, there is a decent enough large beer patio to the rear with several picnic tables although the views of the surrounding towers is not particularly picturesque. I dare say there is an appeal here for some people but the place did little for me and it was not the traditional boozer I was hoping to find. Whilst I rue the demise of another pub, it is not somewhere I would hurry back to whilst it is still around. RogerB - 23 Sep 2008 12:03 |
| Good compared to the rest of the pubs in the area but very ordinary when compared to normal places. Aboit to demolished and be the site for yet another tower (62 storeys) Glasgowboy - 10 Sep 2008 15:08 |
| Been here a lot as it is local to work, after the Heron closed. Emma behind the bar is great, very friendly and works hard(no relation). The beer is ok, but mostly lagers, so only John Smiths or Guinness, but it will be gone next year as mentioned already. daveb62 - 15 Aug 2008 00:26 |
| The plot of land upon which the City Pride is situated has just been sold to developers for a staggering £32 million! Montella - 10 Jun 2008 02:50 |
| Pretty popular, but nothing terribly special about it; I guess its popularity reflects the dearth of decent pubs in this particularly benighted part of London. Redriley - 4 Apr 2008 18:40 |
