Pub games in London

“Pleasantly surprised by this backstreet suburban bar. Good selection of drinks including some great cask ales, atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the staff were very cheery and friendly. I will be visiting again, great job!”

“Brilliant local independent family run, proper old skool pub for drinkers. I'm lucky to live right opposite. Great atomosphere, always friendly. Nice seating area at the front. Very reasonable prices. Try it out! There is no food here, but some snacks and small bites sometimes. Now has a nice garden area at the back.”

“Visited on a Thursday for Irish music night. The pub is lit with candles. It’s cosy and atmospheric. Music started around 9.30pm and it was traditional Irish music. Enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and the toilets were clean. Outside garden available if needed.”

“This place is great. Super good pricing and the food tastes really good. I've asked for a ramen and it was amazing. But if this wasn't enough, the BREAD was mind-blowing. Haidy is super kind and was a plesure to meet her.”

“The best pub in West norwood! Friendly community vibe, great garden and brilliant air con when it's really hot. Also a large shed for hire out the back which hosted my daughters birthday parties for years, free and accommodating to whatever suits your needs. Highly recommended for unpretentious vibes and welcoming atmosphere, love this pub and Sarah and Robin ❤️”

“I had my 37th birthday here. I met with one of the managers beforehand to reserve a space for 40 people. It was a smooth process from start to finish. On the night, it had a very chilled fun vibe and over the course of the night, the music went up but you can still hear what the person next to you was saying! Service was fantastic, the guys at the bar were super attentive and friendly! We had ordered 30 mini-burgers, these were delicious. I couldn't recommend this venue for your birthday or just a casual drink with friends!”

“In a very busy Sunday afternoon without a reservation they were so kind to manage finding a table for us and our children ( much appreciated, thank you) Good food, warm atmosphere, I highly recommend.”

“Lovely, cozy, affordable and has a pool table.”

“We booked for a hen-do lunch at the Windmill Inn at the start of our weekend having flown in to London from Guernsey. We were staying near by and the Windmill staff were very accommodating when we arrived early with all our suitcases. The staff were welcoming and patient with our large group, and our drinks and food were all served in good time. They were happy when we played a couple of civilised hen party games at the table too. The food was really good! Lots of choices to choose from with different options to suit different tastes. It set us up nicely for our weekend of partying! Thank you to the Windmill Inn - we all really enjoyed our few hours with you.”

“Went to this pub to watch the Tottenham match and it exceeded our expectations. The floor staff would go around the tables and ask if you needed anything more. The food was lovely and Flore especially was very attentive and lovely. 10/10 pub could not recommend more. Oh and prices very decent.”

“Let’s just say, spike is the goat! Such a lovely fella, hilarious and talented. In all my 50 years of attending pubs. Spike might be the best bartender I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.”

“What a great Pub! All the staff and locals made us feel very welcome. Food was also great and well priced. Thank you to everyone we met.”

“Rusty Bike Restaurant on Mile End Road provides a warm and casual dining experience with a cozy atmosphere. The service is friendly and attentive, making it a comfortable spot for a meal. I tried their Pad Thai, and it was well-executed. The noodles were cooked just right—soft yet with a bit of chew. The dish had a nice balance of flavors, with a hint of sweetness and savory notes that were enhanced by a squeeze of lime. The chicken pieces were tender and complemented the noodles well, along with fresh bean sprouts and crunchy vegetables, adding texture to each bite. While the Pad Thai was enjoyable, it could benefit from a bit more spice or tang to elevate the flavors further. Overall, Rusty Bike offers a good Pad Thai and a pleasant dining experience, making it worth a visit if you're in the area.”

“Although we visited with a very large party there was plenty of room for us all to be sat relatively close together! Considering we put in a lot of food and drink orders in a short space of time, the wait wasn’t longer than necessary at all. We had a look at the lunch menu and as soon as we noticed the battered haddock and tartar sandwich, we were sold! The haddock was perfectly cooked and crispy with a decent amount of tartar which complimented perfectly. Our side of fries was also extra yummy and served with wild garlic mayo which was amazing! Somebody else on our table ordered the smoked salmon and cream cheese with many comments of how delicious it was; filled with a generous amount of salmon! Lastly and quite importantly we were very happy to see vegetable crudités and humous on the kids menu, as often it’s easy to order for young children but not necessarily for babies and this was a perfect option. We just asked for cucumber rather than the carrots to stay on the safe side, and they came in perfect slices - great for baby led weaning when out on the go. The humous was lovely and definitely tasted homemade! We will 100% be coming back here again:)”

“The staff is nice and fish and chips are wonderful. Great evening with live music”

“I was served by the lovely Freya who was so friendly and welcoming. Really enjoyed the vibe in in this place :)”

“A good backstreet boozer with two separated bar sections and an outdoor yard, which can be a bit of a suntrap. Friendly service and good beers, including some very well poured John Smith's”

“Probably the best hostel in all of London! The location is great, just a 10 minute walk from Tower Bridge and Tower of London, which is also a Circle and District line station, making travel around the city very easy. Check in was simple, and the rooms have pretty comfy bunk beds with assigned lockers to store your things. Everything was clean and tidy, and the staff were very kind should you want to replace your towels or linens or anything. The shower is notably wonderful -- great pressure and temperature. We were lucky enough to get a room with a view out onto this gorgeous church next door! There's fans in each bunk if you're too hot, and radiators if you're too cold. The bar downstairs only opens at 6, but it's a great spot to hang out with lots of mat-covered benches, a pool table, and an L-shaped bar in this cool arched brick space, staffed by super cool and friendly people (shoutout to Cassie here!) and full of friendly fellow patrons who are happy to chat to anyone in the vicinity. Laundry was somewhat expensive at 5 pounds a load for washing, but they provide detergent which was a godsend, and let's be honest, this is London. The cafe near reception has great coffee, and a variety of pastries, as well as a nice little sit-down, bookshelf-laden area to enjoy them. I'd recommend them any day, and will likely be booking back in again in the near future! Thanks so much Wombat!”

“A wonderful small town pub and hotel, my local. The staff are lovely and very friendly, the ambience is always wonderful. Service is always on point and the food is consistenly cooked to a high standard. I highly recommend this for families, date nights and even just a place to pass the time. With a wide ranging bar and beer selection, bar snacks and an extensive menu. A highly recommended place for those in the area and beyond.”

“We held a work party in the upstairs room at the Hospital Tavern and it was brilliant! The events manager was fantastically helpful, service was brilliant, and the selection of food and drink available was fab, we didn't scratch the surface of the equipment available (mics, lights, sound etc!) but what we used was great. The pub is in a great location and has a really friendly, fun vibe... also nice late opening hours!”

“Fantastic local pub that understands its modern clients and loyal Newham past. Love the traditional East End decor that feels home to proper geezers and modern students alike. The dartboard, mix of retro furniture, mosaic & wooden flooring is somewhere I'm definitely coming back too. My darts are accurately inaccurate. The warmth of this part of earthy London is still alive. The fact it sells rich home-made mulled wine next to Guiness, inch's cider and Pravha says a lot. Events space on offer too.”

“Great old stool boozer, they have a venue for hire out back which is excellent for parties with very generous grounds around it.”

“Went for the fireworks. Great display! Very busy but to be expected when the display is free and such good quality.”

“Lovely pub, great staff, nice place to stop en route to Borough Market.”

“We had the pleasure of eating here over 2 days (morning and evening) We were staying at Premier Inn next door due to work. Sharon and Jack could not do enough to make our experience a very pleasant one. Everything done with a smile and a chat. I had the steak and ale pie Monday evening - just WOW! Tuesday evening Katsu chicken - equally as nice. Sharon was on breakfast Tuesday morning and we were met with a smile and a lovely greeting and very nice breakfast. Jackie looked after us yesterday and was lovely and attentive too. Lovely food, brilliant staff great atmosphere.”

“Let's be straight here. This is not a fancy pants place right. I've been here loads of times over the last 3 months and this place is a proper pub! You're not going to find many ladies here on a Friday night or any night to be honest (sorry guys but you know it's true! Lol). The staff are friendly and funny. They love to have a laugh. Although I've never been there on a race day the owners tell me it gets quite busy. Also it's one of the only local pubs in Sunbury that's open after 12 at night. All in all its quite a nice place to have a few pints. Probably​ more for the lads though :)”

“Great food and family friendly.”

“I really enjoy this pub. It's a nice get away from the busy street.”

“This place is amazing for overall ambience, music, food and drinks menu. But what really stands out about this place is the excellent and friendly customer service. I would highly recommend this place for anyone wishing to be served right and anyone looking for a great time.”
