OUTSTANDING! Definitely go and get the breakfast sandwich if you're in this part of town. Isla, Deja, and Dee were so welcoming. Really pleased to have a pint of Lucky Saint too - not often you see alcohol-free beer on draught! Thanks so much will be back :-)

This is a very nice English pub, I went there for a couple of drinks with my girlfriend and we really enjoyed the place. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a good pub in Shoreditch

Acabamos de tener una comida pesada a la vuelta de la esquina, así que queríamos sentarnos en un lugar cómodo y tomar unas copas. El personal del bar es muy acogedor y amable, tenían una gran música de fondo, buenos precios en bebidas, un montón de asientos disponibles para un sábado, ya que creo que este lugar es un pub por lo general para las personas que trabajan en la zona a mediados de semana. Es bueno saber que este lugar está aquí, ya que volveríamos aquí para beber de nuevo.

Nice place, decent beer selection. The only thing that spoiled it was being bundled out a bit aggressively by security when they decided to close the place randomly at around 10:20pm on Friday evening even though it's meant to be open until 11..

🚇 Old Street 🍺 £5.00 Camden Hells 🍔🍟 £7.00 ❤️ The Old Kings Head is located in the backstreets of Shoreditch about a ten minute walk from Old Street station. This is a good size traditional corner boozer with no frills or gimmicks. The beer was good and the food is very reasonably priced, they are open from 8am for those in search of a full english. The atmosphere was lively on this busy Tuesday evening with plenty of office workers enjoying an after work drink. Billy Ocean (Caribbean Queen) was playing in the background which brought a smile to my face as it reminded me of being at a school disco but cemented the fact that this was a pub which didn’t need to change the formula of pubs of old. . Really enjoyed my visit here and to top it off there was a cool pub cat too. . 📊 Information correct on visiting 20/02/18

The worst service i have ever received from any establishment, the short lady with blondish hair has a serious attitude issue, from the minute we walked in she had a serious frown on her and spoke in a very rude and abrupt manor, even though I tried to smile and speak politely, she remained the same, she needs to be taught manors and how to serve customers. the gentleman who served us as we complained, was very polite and knows how to serve customers. Management really need to look into the service provided to your paying customers, she really lets the place down.

They made us feel very welcome and the service ! Amazing. My drink was never empty. We shared laughs and they gave us some great recommendations of things to see around the city. We even came back the night before we left to say bye to them. If/ when I come back to London I will defiantly be back to see them both !

Toller Pub nur einen Steinwurf von der Tubestation entfernt und direkt vor dem Borough Markt. Da in einer kleinen Seitenstraße gelegen (40 m abseits) ist hier komischerweise wenig los. Für uns gut. Es sind viele locals und Stammgäste hier. Tolle Atmosphäre und man kommt mit dem Personal auch ins Gespräch. Lecker Bier und Essen verstehen sich von selbst. Absolut empfehlenswert, um in der Mittagshitze den Menschenmassen zu entfliehen.

Don't know what her problem was, went to the pub after work with colleagues. She was serving everyone but me. Refused to look me in the eye and purposely served other customers. Don't know if she has a grudge against women, but she was only serving the men. Told my company that she was ignoring me, and they went in line, said to her to serve me next as I was next, or technically even before them. But she turned her face and served a different guy. The manager was finally the one to serve me, which was to open one bottle of Smirnoff ice. Now I rarely come across bad service, but this was rude on another level. Was probably standing there for 15 minutes while this lady was bending her back to not serve me. Even left the floor when it got empty in my area because, well guess what, she would've had to open my bottle. Manager was really nice, I don't blame him for her actions (or inactions lol) but I would urge him to do some more training with her on how to greet people and would you guess it SERVE.

I’ve seen some unimpressed reviews and nearly didn’t visit but I ordered on deliveroo when I had a cake craving and was not disappointed. Yes it is expensive but so is everything now, skilled bakers should make money. Cookies are yummy nice dark choc for people like me who don’t like too much sweetness. The lemon pie was one of the best over ever had. The cakes taste of real ingredients not just tonnes of sugar. I also had a very nice matcha there that was made perfectly not grainy at all. Not for the everyday but definitely great for a treat or a gift!
