| Was there on Saturday night. Hadn't been there for a good 4 years and wasn't too keen on going back when friends mentioned it but was pleasantly suprised with a really good mix of people, friendly staff and atmosphere, fairly ok ish music and quick service at the bar. Good selection of drinks both soft and alcoholic and plenty of seats to have a chat in the front bar if you didn't fancy the noisier back bar. Even the lollipop lady in the loo was lovely! Will definately go back. FuzzyKipper - 31 Mar 2008 17:31 |

| My previous review for The Minories was unfavourable, but in truth, prior to last Thursdays visit (August 9th), I hadn’t set foot in here for three years. So, would my recollections in my initial review prove to be the undoing this time around? Yes and no. The bar seemed to of had a refurbishment since and I don’t recall, it, well, being so nicely done up inside. The large beer patio is accommodating and on the face of it, all the pluses should lead to a favourable rating. However, despite the half-decent beer selection, (London Pride and bombardier amongst the ales), the condition was err. Not so good. Mt pint of Pride tasted sour and the service on my visit wasn’t particularly up to scratch either. All in all though, here isn’t a bad place by any means and I now feel I was a little overly harsh on my previous review. Or perhaps it was because all my previous visits were on a Friday night. A time when drunken, suits stagger to awful music and offer you four pounds for a single cigarette (true! This really happened). Choose your time wisely and accordingly and you’ll like it here. I think. I certainly wouldn’t visit on a Friday night though. HTM69 - 12 Aug 2007 13:02 |
| well i visited one saturday afternoon and was walking to get a DLR train didnt think this would be open , it was so in i went , was quite shocked at how big the place was , there wasnt many people in at the time so i was chatting to matt the barman who gave me a guided tour of the pub well showed me the bit out the back , only intended staying for one before meeting friends for a session , they came down n met me here , had a few more then left , overall it was a bit pricey but it is in the square mile , havent visited during the week so cant comment on that but i didnt find it a bad boozer as pubs in this area go romfordir - 21 Apr 2007 12:21 |
| Not a place I have visited lately, but I used to frequent The Minories occasionally when working in the nearby area. It always felt incredibly gloomy and downtrodden and in all truthfulness, isn’t my kind of venue at all and it’s full of suited morons in a Friday night who can’t handle their beer. If you have any understanding of what makes a decent pub/bar, do not be a fool like me and visit. Not recommended. HTM69 - 14 Nov 2006 17:24 |
