| Roger B - This was formerly a Nat West (converted into a trendy Wine Bar - ish). Have used this pub a number of times over the 10 years or so of its existence yet never posted. In short a typical Fullers Pie & Ale House with the usual excellent Fullers Ales and wide ranging menu. Really handy for London Bridge station. A couple of downsides - a bit pricey (but it is located in a central area) - gets very busy at 5pm with City types (like me). Not a problem but be prepared - occasionally gets overrun by tourists not used to British beer - too warm, too dark, too flat etc. etc - staff - high on turnover, low on personality Don't let that put you off though. The pubs in Borough Market and beyond are better but I'll be back - so should you twineyboy - 23 Jan 2010 14:14 |
| A very decent Fulllers pub, very busy on both my visits. The food exceeded my expectations. Interesting to see Franzikaner wheat beer on draft. The Fullers Chiswick was tip-top. Loved the painting of the "Charge of the Scots Grey's" by Lady Butler above the bar! Another great bank conversion pub. pcummings - 30 Nov 2009 13:09 |
| Full of 'barrow (type) boys, us included, and bankery types - so an appropriately named pub. Full up on a Friday night and a great noise it was too! This place is the epitome of big city location public house and one welcomes the space to get lost in and watch the world go by. Opposite London Bridge so an incredibly busy area,Good beers and wines. Expensive nuts. Actually quite a good menu too, with steak and ale pie as the stalwart and game, brandy and redcurrant on there for city blokes meeting their country uncles. If visiting make sure you visit Southwark cathedral 2 minutes away beside Borough market. A gracious place. gonetolunch - 21 Nov 2009 09:29 |
| The banker and barrow boy is a great place to go after work or for a cheeky one before running for the train home. A big stage feel as the mezzanine overlooks the bar, which is shaped like the bend in the Thames we are so close to. Drinks are London zone 1 prices and the location is great for the local city workers. It’s a great vibe as it’s the classic work drinkers’ crowd, no youths trying to get served, no oaps wasting their pensions and no tourists trying to experience a London pint. I love it there and anytime I’m in the area, or close enough, I get there for a quick one. 87blackcats - 31 Oct 2009 15:33 |
| We've become Christopher West fans, who dresses up like Charles Dickens and does his Talk (where we saw him) at the Barrow Boy. He's doing his Twist with Dickens quiz on the 15th, so we're looking forward to it. We saw him in another one and had a a brilliant time. We know the beer and pies will be good- so cheers for a good evening. leninbooks - 10 Sep 2009 18:10 |
