It is said that the pub keeps a good pint, it is a long time since I had one in there as it is very difficult to get served in the front bar, the staff, seem to be in the back bar. Today I waited five minutes without seeing any one serving, I simply gave up and went to the Wellington, where the service is much better. This is not the first time this have happened, as this is not the only pub in London, I am surprised at the lack of service.

Not sure about being difficult to find, walk out of Waterloo and there is a great big sign across the road.

Not a bad pub, pretty basic inside, very good selection of beers, had a pint of TEA, one of my mates favourites and he thought it was a very good pint of. Didn't stop for another as was on a crawl but on another day would happily work my way along the bar trying out the selection.

As with a few old pub the toilets left a lot to be desired, the smell certainly cleared the sinuses!!

Curious pub hidden in the railway arches behind Waterloo station. Comparatively difficult to find, which can give the place a pleasantly secretive, clubbable feel. Two rooms, the first a small, cosy public bar; the second a larger, spacious room of wooden tables, music and fruit machines. Beer garden not the most pleasant in aspect but the metal canopy, barbed wire and roar of trains overhead brings to mind an air raid shelter, though with real ale and two (silent) TVs. 
Clientele is mixed, and transient, given the proximity of the station.
Decent selection of half a dozen or so real ales; generally those commonly seen, though TEA is always welcome. I enjoyed a very pleasant pint of from the. brewery, sadly pulled by a spectacularly miserable barmaid. 
Overall a fabulous destination, especially late at night, sacrificing the 10pm train for the 11pm on order to have a couple of pints and enjoy the unique location.
Highly recommended 7.5/10
