This looks like a newly purpose built pub/bar behind the main buildings of the Harbout Exchange complex. It’s a Greene King house now, with just GKIPA and Abbot Ale on and no guests. It was full of braying City types when I dropped in on Wednesday lunchtime. Just about the best thing about this pub is that at the back it looks out over Milwall Dock. I’m unlikely to pay a return visit.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Spinnaker

Part of a rather unattractive building - with particularly vulgar signage above the main entrance - built on a fixed pontoon in Millwall Inner Dock. Inside, it is done in usual Greene King managed pub style with a modern(ish) and soul-less corporate feel. However, if you can get onto the balcony when there are not hordes of smokers outside then the benefits of its location become apparent. Beer-wise, there are handpumps offering Abbot and Ruddles but no IPA (and as I had a free voucher for a pint of this, I had to settle for the hideous 'smooth' version). Overall, you feel that this place suffers from being built a bit early in the docklands redevelopment and that if it were done now they would make a much better job of things. PS - There is one of the enormous old cranes nearby which is worth a look at.

Large pub. Sells real ale. Very bright with large windows overlooking one of the many waterways. Certainly worth a visit.
