| I was taken to this pub by a very old mate of mine who lives a stones throw away from it. He had 'bigged it up' for some time prior my visit but I always try to approach things with an open mind. To say this place is unique is an understatement.... It is a distillation of all things 'East End'. We arrived about 10.30 on a Saturday evening and the place was jumping and packed to the rafters with a diverse cross section of customers. I was introduced to Alf the landlord and you couldn't want to meet a nicer individual. We also enjoyed some fabulous cabaret style musical entertainment from the house band who had an average age of approaching 90 by the looks of things. I will be going back for sure - love the place and I'm a fussy sod...... I would go as far to say this is in my top 5 favourite 'boozers' and I've been to more than a few......

| Bloody Hell, this all smacks of a conspiracy by ex-staff or barred customers. I'm pretty fussy about pubs, but I went in here on Tuesday with a friend, and found it to be an honest regular pub. Maybe not a date pub, nor an eating pub, but if you want a pint and a packet of s&v, then it's pretty good. A touch of character in the east end. And no, I didn't ask for a glass of water, but if I did I would have expected one for free. JohnWallace - 21 Jan 2010 01:45 |
| avoid! a previously much-enjoyed pub with nice cosy feel and good crowd has been ruined by the rudeness and homophobia of the staff... as result of having my arm on my girlfriend's shoulder (and nothing more!), we were told by the barman working on saturday 2nd jan 2010 that they didnt have hugging and touching there and it "wasnt that kind of pub". loofio - 5 Jan 2010 12:01 |
| Great pub! if you like paying for tap water and getting your head rammed into the toilet wall by one of its lovely clientele?. If this dosn't do if for you, then why not try talking to the landlord about the meat head Tw4t that attacked you and your friend? oh no thats right! you cant because it is the Landlords mate! who after tucking his belly back into his socks, will endeavor to follow you out of the pub with the other members of the Anthill Mob to see that the job is done right! But on the upside, as you leave the Landlord will say a polite "hope you had a nice evening? come back soon now". What a farewell to the worst pub in London. Do not go here!

| Me and three people from work went to the Palm Tree pub in Mile End on Friday night. It's well known as being a great East End boozer. We were drinking in there from about 6.30pm and must have had six or seven pints each - so, in other words, we'd spent a lot of money. After about my fifth pint, at the same time as buying a round of four drinks, I also asked for half a pint of tap water. They refused to serve it. I thought it was the law and told them this. I was told that it certainly wasn't the law and it was at the manager's discretion. I asked to speak to the manager and she came over and said that it's not their policy to serve tap water and that if I wanted water I would have to buy bottled water. They said that people often come in off the street and just want to use the pub to get a free glass of water. Really!!?? Who does that? And anyway, this is a small pub and they knew full well we had been drinking there for hours (and spent about £70-£80), so why couldn’t they give me a glass of water? I've been reading up on this on the Internet and it seems that it does really annoy some people when people order tap water in pubs. But I have ordered tap water in literally hundreds of pubs and never ever been refused, and if you’re buying loads of drinks at the same time, I think that it's a reasonable request. Since this experience I have noticed that many other reviews on this website about this pub also complain about their policy of not serving tapwater - and some have even been charged £1 for it! So, for the record, is it against the law or not? Greshon - 16 Nov 2009 13:11 |
