| went in last night. What a pigs ear of a pub. No ale (GK IPA or Deuchars both off) so I eventually decided on a pint of Heineken. It was flat and cloudy. My colleague who ordered the round was then charged £8 for 2 pints of said beer even though he clearly ordered just the 1! The music was too loud, the service was shoddy and 3 drinks cost nearly 15 quid...won't be returning. We used to frequent this place quite often but not anymore. mally_drinker - 15 Jun 2011 16:09 |
| To be honest, it turned out to be better than I expected, having read the reviews. But it's a complete con historically. Not only is it not the original pub, but someone should tell them the Blue Anchor connected with Jack The Ripper was in Royal Mint Street E1, not Rolls Passage (or Chancery Lane) ! Their blurb on the tables claims two of his victims spent their last evening there. Not true. dickb4925 - 23 Mar 2011 19:53 |
| Wrong on all levels Un-interested rude staff lacks atmosphere & seems to think its better than it is. Was reccomended this place by a mate but not the warm friendly feel he said it had. Mind you he said there was a change in management in the last few years after he left the area which is probably why. Shame really dapubappreciator - 18 Mar 2011 18:31 |

| When I used the Blue Anchor in the late 60s/early 70s it was a Youngers pub in Chancery Lane. The site has been redeveloped and a new pub called the Blue Anchor included. I don't know exactly when this was done but the current pub is now more than 40 years old despite it's "Est. 1749" claim. barrieadams - 7 Aug 2010 15:32 |
