| Being near my workplace this pub is popular during the warmer months with my work colleagues, chiefly due to it having a relatively large outdoor area where drinks can be imbibed while smoking. If you can ignore the noise of 3 lanes of constant traffic passing close to your tables it is a pleasant venue for an outdoor drink in summer. However, being close to Tower Hill it does receive many tourists, particularly families looking for food service. This in itself is not a problem, however with the bar and table service having slowly declined over the past 3 years (staff levels having declined) you should prepare yourself for a long and painful wait to get served at the bar most afternoons or early evenings on summer weekdays and school holidays. Be prepared on Thursday and Friday evenings to lose some coinage to "toilet nazis" (attendants) if you desire to wash your hands. There is a wide selection of lagers on tap, though some quite pricey (£4.20 for a Peroni for example) and 3 bitters/ales and Guinness. It is a shame really that the pub has become so understaffed during the warmer months in particular, because it's a good pub and one of very few in the Tower Hill region with an outdoor partially covered area. fountainhead - 14 Feb 2010 22:00 |
| Large but characterless boozer filling a couple of arches under the railway bridge by Tower Gateway station. Four handpumps, two dispensing Adnams and two Bombardier - yawn. Wasn't jam-packed on a Friday evening, though, which is something I suppose, although I can't see myself returning soon. grecian - 26 Sep 2009 19:17 |
| I like this pub, the staff seem to know me now. Good service and excellent food. Also they still offer 2 meals for £7.99, which is good for the location! Beer kept in good condition. Roberttherailway - 9 Mar 2009 21:23 |
| 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 |
