| The experience is something between an airport lounge and a school refectory. OK if you limit yourself to a about an hour and a frame or 2 of pool.... and you don't mind predictable packaged food and rather dull ales. I'd say stick to the Guiness unless you're Irish in which case ...just dont. hungry_biller - 22 Nov 2010 19:06 |
| Part of a rather unattractive building - with particularly vulgar signage above the main entrance - built on a fixed pontoon in Millwall Inner Dock. Inside, it is done in usual Greene King managed pub style with a modern(ish) and soul-less corporate feel. However, if you can get onto the balcony when there are not hordes of smokers outside then the benefits of its location become apparent. Beer-wise, there are handpumps offering Abbot and Ruddles but no IPA (and as I had a free voucher for a pint of this, I had to settle for the hideous 'smooth' version). Overall, you feel that this place suffers from being built a bit early in the docklands redevelopment and that if it were done now they would make a much better job of things. PS - There is one of the enormous old cranes nearby which is worth a look at. rpadam - 11 Sep 2010 11:13 |
| As the other pubs on the Isle close this is becoming noisier and louder. Just really a Wetherspoons on water. thenightwatchman - 22 Nov 2008 15:58 |
| For a place in such a vibrant and exciting area, Spinnaker is immensely underwhelming. Extremely poor customer service, shoddy presentation, and massively overpriced for what is offered. The mainly Lithuanian and Latvian staff struggle with English and struggle even more with politeness and customer service. I noticed an aging blonde dumpy woman, apparently the manager, behave very rudely with customers. Bizzarely, there is a Coffee Republic sign which naturally suggests there is an integral Coffeehouse - this is not the case, there is only a Coffee Republic-brand instant coffee maker.

| This place is one of the most soul-less pubs I've ever been to. The main bar feels a bit like your office with low tables and chairs, especially as it's always full of be-suited office types. There are far better pubs nearby. On the other hand, it's out of the way, cheaper than other nearby pubs and bars at the Wharf (not saying much, but true) and a little quieter. There's a little area where you can stand and overlook the river, plus some pool tables. It's bad in a harmless way, and you could do far worse in the area. Just don't expect character... tinyclanger - 11 Jul 2008 16:47 |
