As I walked into this pub I popped into the toilet before I was to order my pint. One of the bar staff steamed into the toilet after me screaming that I had to buy a pint first. I promised I would buy a pint when I came out. But no that was not good enough. I had to leave the toilet buy a drink then go back in the toilet, which I declined. Ok, I should have asked to use the toilet... Personally I would take someone’s word if they say they are going to buy a pint (which I was).

As I walked through the bar everyone was staring me because of all the shouting (not from me I might add). I asked to speak to the manager and was told by the lady there she was the manager. There was no point arguing my case with this woman, as she instigated the whole situation in the first place! Very unprofessional bar staff to the point of stupidity!

I popped into here on Thursday last week and I ended up leaving without being served as it soon became apparent that the five or so people waiting to be served were not as important as cleaning the glasses. I thought that they may have run out of clean ones, but they hadn’t.

The drinks selection is the same as reported last September with Deuchars, Spitfire and Adnams being available alongside premium and standard lagers.

I found this pub to be nothing special and I’m not sure that I’d bother trying to get a drink in here again.

This is a high-ceilinged corner pub, typical of Victorian design. It even boasts a rather fine tiled mural of what appears to be a local river scene, and which is certainly one of the pub’s original features. As you might expect with a pub of this name, there is a lot of nautical paraphernalia adorning the walls, including some model ships.

They had Deuchars IPA, Adnam’s Bitter and spitfire on. The Deuchars was £3.10 a pint, but tasted just fine. I rather like this pub as it has a traditional feel to it, and in my view is definitely worth a visit if you are in the London Bridge area.

Had a reasonable pint of Adnams here last night at an unreasonable £3.10. Decent boozer convenient for London Bridge station, under the arches opposite Hays Galleria.

One room with a central bar. Service good. Also offering Deuchars IPA and Sheps Spitfire.

Went here a couple of days ago. Excellent pint of Adnams, and friendly bar staff. Slightly shabby sort of pub, but I kind of like that. Would go again if in the area.
