| Barman approached me and as a form of greeting just raised an eyebrow, none of the usual courtesies expected from someone serving the public, but after another pint of Courage Best Bitter I thought I would try a little small talk and surprisingly he turned out to be quite an affable chap. Lets put it down to the fact that there isnt an Englishman serving behind a bar anywhere in the Eastend any longer. Also maybe they could address the little problem of their drains, every now and then the most orrible nift permeated the bar. beernotfood - 14 Oct 2012 16:19 |
| This must be the most expensive pub in the East End, £4.00 a pint of Pride.. shame as the beer garden is nice and not many of them around anymore.. morganspice - 22 Jul 2012 10:46 |
| Quite a nice pub with a good beer garden and friendly staff. Really good pint of Pride but at £4.00 a pint for a pub in Whitechapel will not be going back in a hurry. tanky - 22 Jul 2012 00:14 |
| Incredibly disappointing, ultra bland pub. What a shame with it's colourful history. Just gets duller with every refurb. Friendly staff but yawn... curioushistory - 8 Apr 2012 19:33 |
| What a shame... Went in here yesterday after 29 years... Initially, I thought it was closed. When I went up to the bar, I wished it had been closed. I ordered a light & bitter... the barman had no idea what I was talking about. Even after I explained that it was half a pint of bitter and a bottle of light ale, he still had no idea. He poured half of Directors into a half pint glass and then asked me if I had any preference about which lager I wanted. I tried to explain, but in the end I settled for a pint and a half of Directors. The only thing that hadn't changed was the toilets. I know, I know... It was a bit optimistic to have expected it to have been the same as last time I went in there, but I would have thought I could go into a pub and order a pint of Light & Bitter for heavens sake. Last time I went in there (1983), I was asked if I would like the light 'chilled'. I don't know why the locals put up with it. There... I've said it now. Never mind. I've got it out of my system now and I will never darken their doors again. Very, very, dissapointing. I'm only giving it a 3 because the Directors was OK and servers with a smile. n4j - 18 Feb 2012 20:23 |
