A post Covid visit found this one largely unchanged from the reviews below, although think it might have been spruced up a bit since Moby’s review as there are a few TV screens and a separate area with a pool table.
Yes, will agree there’s not much here to attract the real ale drinker or the young upwardly mobile that are now finding themselves in Bethnal green. But on the other hand, there’s nothing really offensive about the place, it seemed a fairly friendly, if not basic local boozer that appeals, and I guess will continue to appeal, to the more mature local generation.
Only standard keg options and I will concur with others that the lighting is a bit bright of an evening, giving the drinking in a goldfish bowl effect, so I didn’t linger long in this one.

This is part of the Craft Union chain, which seems to provide life support for moribund pubs. A very basic outfit this, with a carpeted floor, very bright lighting, flashing games machines and TVs showing sport to very few older more local veterans.
Not my thing.

Another tired pub. One room with bar to the rear. No real ales - just keg rubbish.

A basic locals pub, single roomed in a horseshoe shape around the bar. There was a Scottish football game on a solitary TV screen,a pool table at one end, dartboard the other, music was playing at a medium level, some John Holt reggae.
There was no Real ale apparent so half a Guinness sufficed. Service was friendly but its a pub that hasn't moved on with the times, sometimes thats not a bad thing but with just a couple of old geezers sat at the bar supping their Fosters and myself a slightly old geezer present on a Saturday lunchtime, I can't see a great future for the place.

Another old pub clinging on with an older crowd.Seemed to be a one room bar but didn't take much notice.Hard to see the barmaid who was hiding behind a forest of massive keg fonts.Adnams -lighthouse on cask.
