| Its not a bad pub at all. The staff are very friendly, the locals are up for a laugh. The atmosphere during Karaoke is great. The only downside to all this is the beer off the taps arent the best (still better than any other pub in Canary Wharf). The Heiniken is ok. But cant really complain especially when sitting outside on a summers day drinking a very reasonably priced pint bottle of Magners (close to the price of whetherspoons) and it feels like heaven.

| Unfortunately this pub along with two others by the dock gate; "Charlie browns" and the "Blue posts" Both now gone, never really lost the stigma attached to this part of limehouse, Back in the 60s 70s the area was synonymous for on-leave merchant seamen,So you can imagine what took place after dark. When charlie brown died, It was reputed to have been the biggest funeral the east end had ever seen. Althought the "oporto" Has had several new owners in as many years; It as never really reached it's full potential and being so close to canary wharf, one would have thought it's only a matter of time. moncrief - 11 Feb 2006 03:01 |
| Were told the previous week that they were showing the sports on Sunday afternoon, when we turned up they wouldn't bother checking for ages why the sports weren't on the TV - eventually just told us no sports being shown, tough luck! Would recommend only for the good Heineken. anonymous - 22 Oct 2005 02:30 |
| Great pub, but only if you don't mind mixing with the regulars! Lot's of interesting and fun characters to have a chat with but take getting used to! If you're in the mood for a mingle after work in the city then this is the pub for you anonymous - 5 Jul 2005 22:00 |
| If you want to feel safe in a pub then go here - it's right next door to the police station (although whether or not that actually makes it safe is anyone's guess!) Staff seem indifferent to your presence, although everyone gets a welcoming sniff by the resident dog! A good pint of Heineken on tap, and a nice seating area out front in the summer. Worth a visit. anonymous - 7 Mar 2005 20:02 |
