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...

I used to drink here 2years ago when there were friendly happy staff and the manager was a lovely lady called Claire. Recently moved back to this area and found the Spinnaker had changed Manager and staff and was a miserable badly run place with a manager that never smiled or spoke to customers. Why did this have to happen??? Such a shame that we have to use the Puzzle now.

The Spinny has never been a brilliant pub but it's one saving grace, apart from being near to work, is it's friendly and cheerful bar staff. Sadly that has all changed now since the rather miserable lady took over the running of the Spinnaker from Christoff this week.

Good place to go after work and drink yourself daft. Noisy/stacked/filled with chaps who think they should be in a Guy Ritchie movie but some charming la-a-a-a-adeez!
