Tris C left this review about The Reliance
Despite the name and appearance of being a traditional old pub, this is in fact a modern shop conversion. Quite a woody sort of pub with bare boarded floor and a frontage which concertinas open. Furniture is ordinary and there's some bare brick. There's a TV (off, thankfully) but the music's really a bit loud for my elderly ears.
Ales: Fuller's London Pride, Dragonfly Brewery's 2 O'clock Ordinary and Sambrook's Junction at £2.30 which is rather steep, though this is super-trendy Shoreditch and not the once poverty-stricken Shoreditch.
This isn't a bad place and certainly not as bad as some on our crawl of the area. Actually, despite the age of the place, this is about the closest thing you'll get to a traditional pub in the immediate vicinity.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Reliance
Quite a traditional looking establishment - although apparently it was converted from a shop not that long ago - and one which I guess is supposed to have a nautical theme (but this doesn't really extend much past the pub sign and a ship's wheel propped up by the front door). Rustic wooden furniture at the front part of the bar, with dining tables further back. Three real ales on - Pride, Adnams and Batemans XB (not cheap at £3.40) - plus a selection of Belgian bottled beers (also steeply priced). Unusually, upstairs is now an art gallery (Charlie Smith). Overall, one of the better places in the area for a pint.
