  “I came here to watch the Argentina vs England match, and I completely understand that it was a very busy night. However, the way I was spoken to by one of the older female staff members with grey hair was extremely disappointing and absolutely unprofessional. I explained politely that I wasn’t thirsty at that moment but that I would buy a drink. Instead of calmly explaining the policy, she shouted at me and spoke in a very aggressive and disrespectful manner, telling me I needed to buy a drink immediately or leave. I told her that we could have a normal conversation without shouting, but the attitude continued. I ended up leaving because the experience was uncomfortable. Busy nights can be stressful, but basic respect and professionalism towards customers should always remain a priority.”

  “Attended this pub Wednesday (8/07) . Drinks were fine, the experience, not much. Despite paying for a few rounds, when needed the loo, was rudely interrogated whether I was a customer. How do I prove that I’ve been to the pub if I’ve finished my drink and desperately needed the toilet. Wasn’t allowed to go to toilet, unless I showed evidence - so had to show bank statement. Bit over the top - I’d say. For me I would not return. If you do look to go make sure you have your phone charged.”

  “Nice enough pub right next to London Bridge Station. Scary city prices for a pint! Lovely staff.”

  “Beers were solid, general atmosphere was ok, but the bartender that served me was, knowingly or not, very racist, and it really soured the whole experience. Draft selection was good but that really affected the experience and I would not go back. This is not a slight against the whole staff and I wouldn’t want to paint them all with the same brush, but the individual in question was deeply unpleasant to a patron and we left very quickly after.”

  “Nice little pub right next to London Bridge station. Stop by before or after the train. Thirst or hunger will be quenched here 😅”

  “Oh this was gross. Terrible poverty nachos and the saddest looking fish sandwich I've ever seen in my life. Fish sticks on white bread. Not even warmed up. Nice looking building. Absolutely terrible food.”

  “Came here for a swift half ale last Saturday. Don't get the bad reviews. Friendly doorman , reasonable prompt service and , most importantly,my beer was spot on . This is a medium sized pub located a stones throw from London bridge tube. Nice to see a pub with an island bar in London . And the bar staff are attired casually . All round a good first experience. Thumbs up .”

  “For proximity to London Bridge you cannot beat this pub. When I left, I was on my train in less than five minutes. It is very busy in this area including closeness to the main road. The outdoor tables are next to the pub so it shields you a bit. I didn’t go inside. Lovely summer’s day with a bit of a breeze, so content to sit outside. But as a woman with a handbag, you have to keep your wits about you. That’s the only thing I didn’t like, but that’s not the pub’s fault. We shared a couple of bottles of Sauvignon Blanc and had burgers and chips. Nice chips with skin and the burgers were good. Definitely recommend. The staff were great.”

  “I went for a drink but honestly apart from a nice external building I didn't find anything exciting. The quality of the beer didn't convince me, the amount of gas didn't seem well balanced, all the beers were flat and without foam. In addition the staff forgot to give me some beers....after waiting 15 minutes I had to go back to ask for them. The cleanliness is low level and the bathrooms were unusable...I would never have ordered food in this restaurant”

  “It is a very nice decorated pub, where we met the nicest staff. Good selection of beer and other drinks. The building outside is stunning and inside okay but not the nicest. Unfortunately the toilets have mold otherwise okay.”
