| First ever visit from yours truly last Monday evening. This is a pub that I've only ever previously seen from the window of the passing DLR train from Bank for the last 5 years or so, but never, until now, made the effort to visit. It's about 5 mins or so walk from Tower Gateway DLR station. Its a reasonably traditional rather basic single-bar street-corner local situated in what seems to be a strange sort of hinterland between where the City of London ends and the East End begins. There was only 1 real ale on during my visit - the ubiquitous Greene King IPA - which took ages to be pulled through properly, but tasted OK once the rather sullen barmaid had succeeded in filling the pint glass with beer rather than froth and bubbles. Pump clips decorating the wooden bar testify to the fact that other real ales have been one, but I would guess that there is not a lot of real ale trade here. There's a pool table at the front of the pub and a plasma TV which was showing Holland v Italy in Euro 2008 at a reasonably unobtrusive volume level. The pub was quiet - just half a dozen or so seemingly local customers. In conclusion, I didn't dislike the pub, but, in all honesty, I'm struggling to find any compelling reason to re-visit or to specifically recommend it to BITE readers.

| what a pub watching office workers skive and play pool as the old men prop up the bar, smoky, good food, all that would be needed is a nice irish band in the corner, who needs dublin when its all there at the 'dodger'. anonymous - 11 Oct 2006 14:25 |
| What can I say about a pub where friendly locals and skiving office workers alike appreciate good music and will not laugh at a guy in big baggy trousers? Quite simply The Artful Dodger "you can't touch it". MC_Hammer - 11 Oct 2006 12:44 |
| Best pub in London bar none. Smoky, insanely hot whatever the weather outside, average age of the clientele who seemingly never actually go home is around 93 and a juke box reaturing MC Hammer. We love it. SkivingOfficeWorker - 11 Oct 2006 12:26 |
