The Bell in Tower Hamlets

An oasis of cool in a really touristy area.

Great trad London pub with pool and darts downstairs, and you can even connect your phone to the speakers downstairs and play your own tunes

Nice pub to relax and spend time with friends!

Love this place. Came to a comedy night a few years ago. Back here with my guy tonight. Great atmosphere ❤️💚

Visiting from the states and loved the warm welcome the second we walked in! Great bartenders!

Such a cool place for a date , hang out with friends or anything. The staff are very lovely , shout out to Ellie and Dom , such cuties !!

Didn't have the food, but the drinks options were good and the atmosphere was great! I saw a comedy show and that was really fun

Decent beers, good atmosphere for a mid week.

It's OK. Nothing special but not too bad.

Kiki and Holly were the most amazing hosts - they made us feel sooooo welcome. Coming here everyday.

We came along for the comedy evening and had a good time

Best pub in London!!!! Ace & Ellie are completely and utterly amazing

Ace and Ellie are the best bartenders!! 10/10

Great place, great pool table downstairs and some lovely pints - good atmosphere as well.

Amazing pub, good prices, recommend to everyone!

Some place, some night, I should have taken a mental picture

A real English pub.. non-commercial, you only drink beer and a few bags of crisps, you don't eat..

Such a lovely pub in Aldgate! Great service and selection of beers

Fantastic service and the beers on tap are great

Quirky pub very homely and cosy

Great staff, good selection of ales and lagers and some cool stuff in the fridges too!

Nigel is the man of the house. Cute as a button. Dom’s alright, he really knows how to open. But brilliant beer and superb service !!!

lovely pub one of the best in east. great pints and affordable prices would go again!

great atmosphere and good selection of pints on offer with board games and cozy ambience.

Colegas de trabajo me dijeron que evitara este lugar y desearía haber seguido su consejo. Estaba allí con mi padre y algunos amigos y realmente tiene que ser el peor pub en el que he estado. Con alrededor de 40 personas en el bar -a mitad de semana- un barman hosco llamó repentinamente a los últimos pedidos justo antes de las 10 . 20 pm (La gente del trabajo me advirtió que el personal del bar cierra el bar temprano si no están de humor). Cuando mi padre le señaló la hora a dicho barman, a mi padre le dijeron que se fuera. Mi padre pidió amablemente hablar con el gerente y fue señalado hacia un tipo sentado al final del bar, que estaba completamente desinteresado en el lenguaje sucio que venía de su personal hacia un hombre de 70 años. Cuando mi padre fue a hablar con el gerente, se levantó y se fue. Como dije, la gente del trabajo me había advertido que este lugar tenía el personal más rudo y hosco y que se ha hecho conocido en la zona por su terrible servicio y temperamental horario de apertura, pero era otra cosa para verlo todo en acción. Es una verdadera pena, porque este podría ser un gran bar. Quien sea el dueño de este lugar sería mejor aconsejado deshacerse de todo su cumplido del personal y empezar de nuevo porque ahora está sangrando a los clientes a un ritmo con el que ningún negocio debería sentirse cómodo hoy en día. Ciertamente ninguno de nosotros volverá.

Some of the worst bar service I’ve experienced in my 45 years on this planet. Not short of telling you to pour your own pint while practically spitting in your face. Maybe as an Irish person I’ve been ruined by excellent service in Ireland, but the lack of actual care to customer service is outstanding. If I could give a negative star I would. Any business person who had any sort of desire to make money needs to buy this place out cos it’s a travesty what is happening here. Ringing last orders at 10:30 while there is a crowd of people still drinking - screams staff who must be paid for a guaranteed min no of worked hours and have no desire to stay and serve customers. The potential for atmosphere is huge. I left and went just 500m down the road to another still busy bar 30 mins later after the last orders bell was rang at 10:30. Just next level could give zero fracks customer service ! Bravo.

Amazing pub with eclectic decor and the best crew! Ace in particular was wildly sexy and the most attractive bartender I've ever been served by. 10/10 would recommend

This is a nice traditional pub close to several attractions including Brick Lane, Spitalfields Market and Petticoat Lane. They had three cask beers on offer and I chose a rather nice Ghost Ship at £6.20. The pub has a lot of wood panelling, a feature that I like. They have a games room in the basement e.g. pool and table football, on Mondays and Tuesdays games are free. I was here at 3.30pm on a Tuesday and it was quite busy. The bar area was somewhat cluttered with posters and various other things adorning the walls but that added to the charm for me. In summary I liked this pub, it had a rather "local" feel to it.

Fantastic pub, great music even better service!!

Best pub around just can’t really beat it tbh top notch stuff nice and traditional bosh

Great place with fun bartenders!

Really great pub by Liverpool Street, always good music and great service!

Sick vibe with eclectic selection of drinks. The games are fun as well and good atmosphere

What a dreamy Guinness. Jack and Kiara are the best.

Great service and friendly staff

Great pub really enjoyed my time here, will come back again

Big up Jack and Kiara best service

my fave pub in central london! Liam, Ellie and Dom are great bartenders, always enjoy a pint and a chat!!!

Amazing music, drinks and shots!!!

Love this place!! Jack is great!

Habíamos descubierto este pub cerca de nuestro hotel. ¡Ojalá no lo hubiéramos hecho! El pub era tranquilo un viernes por la noche no es de extrañar, el ambiente es pobre, el personal hosco, grosero y poco servicial. . . evitaremos a toda costa en el futuro

Amazing pub and great service from Jack. Great pint of Timothy Taylor too.

Great place for a drink and lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back

The atmosphere is above average, this is a vibe

Wonderful atmosphere. Lovely place to have a drink. I'll definitely come back

Atmosphere is stellar and the staff are wonderful

Great place, lots of board games

Had a great time at The Bell in London with friends. We ordered gin and tonics, and they were spot on – super refreshing. The place had a chill vibe, perfect for hanging out and catching up. Definitely a cool spot to relax with good company!

First visit here, friendly staff, good crowd and great atmosphere!

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Great chilled place to start off a Saturday night

Jack was an absolute gent, couldn’t recommend more

Great games area downstairs with pool tables darts and foosball what more can a man ask for, dont ask for the mystery shot they gave us sauce mixed with water it’s disgusting

Lovely pub, great games room but the free shot is completely fake (Worcester Sauce & Water)

Wild store, only card payment, which I think is great as a tourist. There is a games room with darts and billiards that can be used free of charge upon request.

Great bar staff and fun games room. You can pick your own music!!

Great place, great vibes, would come again

Great pub, great vibes, would definitely come again

Amazing vibes at this pub, love the boardgames!!

Great night at the bell music was great and atmosphere was cool

Excellent service n great atmosphere 😀playlist was banging!!!!!!

Sick games room with pool table, dart board and table football! Great playlist too

Jack is a lovely server, the venue is clean and has a lovely aesthetic and the improv show was brilliant!

Tasty beers on tap, friendly staff, clean and a nice atmosphere. Just a good pub experience if youre in the area. They don’t serve food however if you’re just looking to get a drink by urseld or with your mates this is a great choice!

The best bar in the world. Do not come to London unless you’ve come here specifically for this bar.

Cállate cuando quieran. Éramos 10 después de un evento de trabajo y decidieron cerrar a las 10. 10 . ¿Qué pub hace esto? Personal grosero. Le pregunté su nombre y me amenazó con echarme del pub. Bebidas caras y basura. No iré aquí de nuevo

A solid local pub. By your lunch from the pettycoat lane food vendors and bring it here for a pint. Good staff and vibe

What a gem hidden in full sight!

Great place lots of good craic!

Great ambience and good pricing🤌🏼👍🏼

Great cider great atmosphere! Come here for a great cider

Incredible location absolute scenes

going to get married here I love it!!!!!!!

Lovely space! Very friendly staff! Highly recommend

Jack excellent bar man!! Knows the regulars inside and out

Fantastic proper London pub. Even on a quiet Thursday afternoon this is fun place to be. The staff are fun and know their products. The beers are good and the shots are fun and quirky. Good decor and clean toilets. Also close to a great secret cocktail bar… Definitely recommended

games room downstairs is elite!

Classic, old school proper local pub with a cool quirky vibe. Beers are great, staff are wonderful and the vibe is perfect. No kitchen but you can order Detroit Pizza from down the road if you're hungry and they deliver to there. Just a great time all round!

Came in for a quick drink, nice vibe and even a games room downstairs! Friendly staff, would recommend

Amazing place! Great for our London visit so warm and toasty!

Amazing atmosphere.. love the punk Obama decor.

The Bell is the best place I’ve been to to tonight! Fun games, good chat, friendly bartenders. Will be coming back!

It's got friendly staff, quirky decor, and a great location. The mystery shot is also a great incentive to come visit - you never know what you're gonna get but whatever it is, I'm sure it'll be interesting!

Good pub with a good games room downstairs

Nice place for a pint in the city

Great atmosphere and lovely pints

Friendly staff, good atmosphere and good pints. 😎

If you’ve had a really long day at work and need somewhere to chill and have a drink, then this is a really good place to go.

Great pub, good pool table and darts. Great beers on tap
