Barbarella, Canary Wharf, E14

Standard all bar one interior serving 3 real ales,continental beers and"craft keg". Food served. Outside terrace area overlooking the water.

This All Bar One is located alongside the waterfront which is lined with seating where table service can be taken advantage of. It sounds like a good concept, but when busy the waitresses can become few and far between. The inside of the bar is long and thin with the usual ABO décor with premium and standard draught products being available from the bar area that runs along most of the back wall. Pride and Doom Bar were also available on hand pump and the Guinness was perfectly acceptable. This is the only pub/bar that I have visited during this World Cup that hasn’t put a screen in to air the football. They obviously know there market as it was the busiest bar in Canary Wharf during my recent weekday afternoon visit, maybe nobody was really that interested in Greece v Nigeria! Most bars, with a couple of exceptions, in this area could be mistaken for an All Bar One and I cannot see myself rushing back for another crawl.
