After a visit to the Museum of London Docklands next door decided to pop in here for a post exhibition pint. A very pleasant airy building,unchanged from remembrances, but this one continues to disappoint on the beer front. Only one ale available outside the trilogy of doom that dominated most of the pumps, and that was a stout, so not a great offering and no sign of discount ‘spoons pricing here ( as I didn’t have my vouchers it did cost over £5.) . The only saving grace was that we were blessed with a fine sunny March day and the outside terrace area to the front is an excellent afternoon sun trap

Upmarket Spoons in a rather exclusive set of converted buildings facing the dockside. The exterior has a rather lovely set of blooms on the go and the interior is really quite impressive – modern and sleek. The main room is a long rectangle with a skylight allowing in plenty of rays. Corridor has three separate small rooms off it, so plenty of options. Nautical themed toilets are quality. The bar prices were the highest I’ve ever seen in a Spoons outside the airport outlets but context is everything and the 50p Timbo Token softened the blow a bit on my pint of Twickenham Naked Ladies (NBSS 3.5 at £4.54 after said discount) though it was interesting to overhear the staff complaining about the state of one of the other pumps which spluttered and died on my initial order. Overall, I quite liked this one.

Reviewed 23rd January 2019:
I came here once before in the easter of 2004; it opened in 2001. Then it was very noisy with a flagstone floor as I recall which if correct has now been carpeted which greatly reduces noise. Otherwise, it's as described below with the obligatory games machines confined to the entrance vestibule.
Otherwise it is a mentioned, rather grand by 'spoons standards.
On our visit it was moderately busy but many of the tables were cluttered with empty glasses to complement the sauce bottles. Food comprises the usual fayre but despite the relatively modest number of customers, we were told that our order would take an hour to arrive; we decided not to eat. Indeed 'freshly-made' pizze were unavailable due to the pub having run out of bases, so not 'freshly-made' then.
Fifteen pumps on offer with around 12 in operation with options from the likes of Wimbledon brewery and Truman's Firestarter at an astonishing £3.19 a pint and good if a little cold. Doom Bar and GK IPA were available if so desired.
This isn't a bad place for a cheap pint of decent ale and is about the closest thing you'll get to a pub in the Canary Wharf development, but there's no real reason to come all the way out here unless you're combining it with a trip to the neighbouring Museum of London Docklands.
Reviewed 23rd January 2020:
A return after a second annual visit to the Festival of Lights and unsurprisingly nothing has changed, except that this time tables were cleared promptly and food, in the form of a chicken tikka masala for my friend, arrived in probably under 10 minutes.
Ales tried: Harviestoun's Haggis Hunter and Watney's Young Harvey both at £3.39 a pint and really rather bland. An identically priced pint of Truman's Runner was on poor form.
The six-day midnight licence is most welcome and this is still one of the more 'upmarket' 'spoons, so not a dominatrix in sight (oink, oink).
