Too long and drawn out but very entertaining with excellent special effects
This is a peculiar play and does not work for me. Some of it is very funny but there are real flaws

It looks a bit dingy on the outside and the surrounding area is a bit off-putting, but don't let that worry you - this is still an excellent local.
It has an interesting range of beers on the hand pumps and an extensive, value-for-money, food menu. It also offers big screen TV, pool, a function room and, curiously, a juke box which wasn't switched off even during the footy.
Surprisingly, it didn't spoil anything for anybody. It has an interesting mix of locals that frequent the place and the service is prompt, friendly and attentive. Every so often a coach load of tourists pops into the place, we're not sure why, maybe it's something to do with Bow Bells - except they're in the Christopher Wren church in Cheapside in the City. Well, whatever the reason, the tourists like it too, and they won't be disappointed, as it's a top boozer.
NEAREST STATION: Bow Church station
FEATURES: function room available, pool table, quiz night Wednesday, Sky TV (bigscreen) small TVs

I loved this place. I lived next to it for four years...! Good atmosphere for a match and great crowd to play pool against.
Will be back for a pint later in the year.

A cheerful gaudiness externally, however, but not as bad as what used to be the London Hospital Tavern further along Mile End Road. A good start for a hangover even before you've had a drink!
