| 'RIPPER' and 'BONZA' were two of the things Rhenny couldn't stop saying when we went on a night out at this commonly misunderstood establishment. From the broken (bar) stools to blacked-out windows and half constructed DJ booth in the corner this pub has it all - forget the Sterling, the Castle is now the pub of choice to relax and unwind for this insurance worker after a hard day at Lloyds. 10/10, A* - pour me another Fosters with a pint of pork scratchings.

| The location of this East End pub is less than salubrious, despite the City not being too far away. However despite this, it does not lack character. This is a real spit and sawdust type of place with a bohemian feel. The bare floorboards, black painted walls, broken windows, wooden vehicles above the bar and glitterball somehow combine to create a fairly pleasant drinking environment. Despite the black walls, the interior still manages to be bright and airy, due to number of windows and the pub's position on an intersection. Sky News was being shown on the TV. Advertisements for toasties at £2 each were scattered liberally and I noticed sweets being sold from a couple of containers behind the bar. Unfortunately there are no real ales. Drinks choice is limited to continental lagers, Caffreys, Guinness, Strongbow and Magners. I didn't venture into the back room which is decorated in a red colour. blue_scrumpy - 22 May 2010 14:27 |
| Disgusting cheap beer in a condemned building held together by string. What was once a decent Courage pub is now an absolute dive. There are a lot of much better pubs in the area to try! a1ex_e1 - 29 Dec 2009 01:30 |
| This is the sort of pub where anyone will fit in. It has comfy sofas and shows all the big games on big screens. They have DJ's at the weekends and it gets rammed. Not a lot on offer for real ale fans though. queenvic - 20 May 2008 13:31 |
