| Very, very odd place. This pub is up a narrow laneway off West India Dock Road, where you would next expect to find a pub. More bizarrly, they fly the Confederate and Cuban flags out front. Last time I was here, the jukebox seemed to be possessed by evil spirits, and would only play songs from the Grease soundtrack. If you put coins in and selected songs it would play them, but as soon as your selection was done, not only would it go back to playing Grease, but from the exact point it stopped. As a result, this place brings back horrible, horrible memories. Oh......and it smells a bit like a zoo inside. But hey, compared to The Star of the East on West India Dock Road, this place is like the Dorchester. Best (non-Narrow Street) pub in the area by default. topdog_andy - 11 Sep 2007 16:51 |
| I've only been here a couple of times. During the week it can be quiet, but it's packed on friday and saturday night. Either way, the staff are friendly. Especially the delightful Mia!! jolly_gerbil - 4 Dec 2006 15:21 |
| I had a wander around Poplar and Limehouse during the week and made for "The Whalebone" in Three Colts Lane; the last time I was there was 1980. Blimey! What a difference! Light, clean, pleasant; yes I remember the old bastard who served me a quarter of a century ago. It's much improved; pleasant Polish girl serving behind the counter. Nice atmosphere; nice people. I must return in the evening; this is a find to note and remember in the shit hole of London. Princemonolulu - 6 Oct 2006 20:01 |
| Popped in here once or twice in the past, usually on a Friday night. Made for an extremely pleasant escape from the world of city arseholes that is Canary Wharf. Was nice too to find a place which had a jukebox. (I'm fed up with barstaff imposing their listening preferences on us). Nice pints. Popcorn (sometimes) and the staff were second to none, and very pleasant =) I really should go out of my way to visit this place again, probably on a Saturday for that themed night =) psychonaut - 12 Aug 2006 19:41 |
| RE; The urban bar, When posting my review on this pub, I mistakenly put in the "old house at home" being opposite booty's wine bar; In fact the pub was called; "The house they left behind" apologies. moncrief - 16 Feb 2006 09:44 |
