The Drummonds Bar, Canary Wharf

I just logged on recently and noticed a couple of reviews immediately after my own. From what I can see it seems to be the manager (this is definitely not a 10 pub as reviewed by this individual). I used to frequent Drummonds reasonably often, just because they were reliable in showing sport and they had cheap pints. Now I make the effort to go anywhere else, even though this involves a DLR ride. The previous management were apathetic and reasonably hopeless. The new management (especially the manageress) are unreasonable and rude. I have compiled a list of things to expect when visiting Drummonds. DO expect to be asked to leave if you are wearing anything that could be deemed sports apparell. DO NOT expect to be served quickly. DO expect rude and aggressive staff. DO expect for sport to be switched off before the game is finished. DO expect to be asked to leave without warning at 10:45 (apparently thats the law). DO expect to be threatened for the police to be called if you do not comply with the 10:45 rule. If you want a quiet pint go to the City Pride across the road. If you want to watch sport try the Lord Nelson, the Rogue Trader (neither ideal) or somewhere further afield.
