| To get to the back bar, you need to go out of the pub and around the side to the door there. They now have proper Korean barbecue thingies set into the tables in the back, and they also have some form of Korean alcohol that I am yet to properly investigate. I agree that the front bar can be a bit lairy. Kake - 2 Jul 2008 20:20 |
| A rather grim establishment. No beer, booming music in the small bar area, which seems to be furnished with folding tables and tired green velour covered benches from an old Indian restaurant. The (Korean?) barmaid spoke virtually no English, which lead to a mix up in the order so horrific, that I ended up drinking a pint of bitter shandy made with John Smiths.....(I am still searching my vocabulary to find the words to describe that particular horror.) I like others, failed to spot the back bar....oh and the ladies toilets were ‘the worst I’ve ever seen’ to quote missus. Which if you consider I’ve dragged her to some iffy boozers in my time, must be worthy of some kind of award. All of the above is a real shame, because the pub (with some tlc) could be nice little boozer and with proximity to the river, historic connections and decent local trade a real winner....but it aint. mrse1 - 1 Jul 2008 14:55 |
| Yep - there's now a Korean "restaurant" in the saloon bar out the back. The food's really quite good. They do a few Japanese dishes as well, plus a selection of more standard pub food. No real ale or even interesting non-real beer, unfortunately. I did a more in-depth write-up here: http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Old_Justice,_SE16_4TY Kake - 29 Mar 2007 00:43 |

| 8.3/10 according to the web site at the time. Riverside location, strong local competition - must be good I thought. Wrong! Admittedly we only visited the front bar and having read the previous review, maybe we should have ventured round the back however it was not immediately evident that there was another bar. First impressions were hardly inspiring and the first words spoken to us as we stood at the bar were “you’re not police or bailiffs are you?” – not a good start (I would mention that this was 2 female punters, not the staff!). The bar was shabby and not too much imagination has been put into making it comfortable or welcoming. A couple of signed football shirts (Arsenal and England) have pride of place but apart from that there is nothing in the bar to grab the attention other than its lack of inspiration. OK for Sky Sports on TV and there are a couple of games machines. The only hand pump bitter was off (not sure what it was) and one of the keg bitters was also unavailable leaving just John Smiths for the bitter drinkers. Guiness and Murphys available and the usual run of lagers/cider. Unaware that there was another bar, we left after 1 pint. I will return another day and see “the rest” of the pub and may hopefully give it a better recommendation but for now, I’m afraid I will have to put a dent in the 8.3. RogerB - 13 Oct 2005 09:37 |
