Corner pub in a residential area and on the approach to a housing estate that has a much more upmarket clientele inside. There is a central bar, with seating all around and a kitchen with a pizza oven at the rear. Indeed, a fair few of those customers seated appeared to be consuming pizzas. Those standing were mainly drinkers, many of whom were watching the live Liverpool v Chelsea football which was being blasted out, making it quite a noisy experience.
Only one real ale was on. This was East London Brewery Foundation. Craft beers were Signature Backstage & Roadie, Beavertown Neck Oil, Hackney Kapow, Camden Hells & Two Tribes Metroland.
Having approached from the estate and departing towards the Eleanor Arms, I never noticed the mural mentioned below and displayed in pictures.

This is the middle pub of three that sit on Old Ford Road. As you approach it gives the appearance of a traditional brick-built estate pub, especially at night with the lights from the tower blocks behind framing the vista. However, as you draw closer the high wall mounted neon saloon sign advertising sourdough pizza gives a clue to what lies inside.
Internally its far from a traditional pub and is well described by the reviewer below, and the analogy to a well stripped out neon hipster joint is fairly accurate with the additional description of a sourdough pizza oven providing the food menu.
The main interest on the beer front was some modern craft keg beers, but the bar does have a couple of ale pumps and one of these was in use with Wild Card Brewery Best, which I went for. A fairly average bitter but I think this was more to do with the beer than the pub. The standout feature of this pub for me was actually outside in the form of the excellent Votes for Women mural that fills the entire West wall of the exterior.
So, all things for all in this short stretch of the Old Ford Road. If you want a decent ale in an old school traditional pub then look no further than the Eleanor Arms. If you want decent food in smart surroundings then you should carry on to The Crown. And if you are under 30, you may like this one.

The pub dates from the mid-19th century, but I suspect has been rebuilt between the wars. Until around three years ago, there was a Whitbread sign frame and about four years ago, a large mural dedicated to the Suffragettes arrived on the west wall; they apparently drank here.
It’s nearly eight years since I passed by but didn’t enter and the place then was a basic locals’ boozer; how the area – and now pub – have changed. Thoroughly hipsterfied and now with Wi-Fi, this has now been very stripped out, with a bare floor and mostly walls of bare brick, with some floral wallpaper and very distressed paintwork to the windows; the floor is part tiled and part boarded. Little illumination came from simple sconces or large metal shaded lamps over the bar. There’s no obvious décor but there’s an attractive carved wood fireplace and unusually for a pub, there was a pinball machine. Furniture was basic and music was loud, coming from very large speakers and along with a glitterball hanging over the bar (see website), hinted at ominous happenings come Friday or Saturday. There was also a megavision screen showing the football with the sound down. What was of interest though, was the white Vitrolite panelled ceiling, a trademark of A. E. Sewell’s interwar-years Truman’s pubs, but I don’t know whether his other trademark finery has been ripped out or if this was one of his early examples.
Ales amounted to one reversed pump clip and one unused, so it was a half of Neck Oil at £3.15, served by a friendly barman.
This isn’t a great place, unless you’re a member of the Club 18-30 brigade; the Eleanor Arms is the discerning pubgoers’ choice when in the immediate vicinity.
