Busy, loud and certainly nothing special, but I'm not sure it's quite so bad as some of the reviews suggest. My pint of Bombardier was OK too (if served verging on a short measure).

Yep, have to concur with recent comments. I've given this pub plenty of chances over the years but it wastes all its attributes of great location and attractive appearance inside & out, by serving a consistently limited range of poorly conditioned beer and displaying questionable customer service for reasons highlighted by thecellarman. Used to like to approach down the york-stoned(?)ginnel opp London Bridge Street, but unless they start serving interesting well-kept beer it won't be delaying my arrival at the Market Porter again.

Crossed the market from the busy Market Porter pub. Wondered why it was empty..........this is because it's rubbish. Was going to order a pint of bitter than thought better as a customer was compalining about his pint of Bombardier. No effort was made by the bar staff to rectify the problem. After drinking up I returned to the much better Market Porter.

Worked here for a short while a couple of years ago, and from what I understand not a lot has changed. The place is rude, loud, expensive and if you order the ales (DON'T by the way) which you will probably feel like sending back, most of the staff (students from guy's hospital mainly) would like to change it for you, but the wrath of the landlady just isn't worth it. I once saw her have a stand-up row with a customer because he wanted his money back for a pint that was clearly off (vinegar). Barely an evening goes by without "smells alright to me", "no-one else has complained" or occasionally "that's what it's supposed to taste like". Several people go in excited about the Bridget Jones link (her flat was upstairs in the films) but come out severely disappointed, by all means browse the market, look at the outside of the place then cross Borough high street to go to a proper pub like the George.

I honestly can only give it one out of ten, and that's for the bar staff (the students) who are nice personable types when the landlady isn't yelling at them from a stool at the end of the bar, they don't know a lot about serving beer but then it's the landlady's fault for never setting a good example.
