The Bridge Lounge in Southwark

Great beer and atmosphere with helpful and friendly staff. It was open when our hotel bar was shut, and is a really fun place to go. We didn't eat there, but if I go to London again I would try it.

Me encontré con algunos amigos aquí. No es el lugar más barato pero un pub agradable, no obstante. Está más cerca del Tower Bridge que del London Bridge.

ロンドンのビジネスマン御用達？と思われるパブです。平日の夕方に行きましたが、ビジネスマンで溢れかえっています。なんとか席をキープし、ビールとフィッシュ&チップスをオーダー。片言の英語でしたが、店員さんは笑顔で応対してくれました。 ボリュームのあるF&Cは外はカリッ、中はホロッと美味しかったです。

We ended up here after doing the Shard and to be honest it really isn't great. The guy on the bar lacked charisma, most in London have a bit of banter but here there was nothing. The girl was much friendlier and chatty. We had a couple of drinks then noticed the place was emptying? and the girl started tidying up around us, taking menu's etc. off the tables, before 7PM!! No food then. We asked what was happening and she told us the manager told her to shut! Madness, more people came in only to be turned away. Very poor business sense, won't be back.

Siamo stati qui dopo aver cercato un buon posto dove gustare la tipica colazione inglese...la migliore provata nella nostra permanenza a Londra, e neanche tanto dispendiosa economicamente! Sicuramente se dovessimo tornare a Londra sarà una tappa certa!

Lovely building, great drinks and nibbles, really busy place after work but dead on a weekend. Always clean and staff are fab

Excelente ubicación: frente a Potters Field en Tooley Street, una gran barra circular y una variedad de cervezas artesanales y tradicionales más grandes.Posiblemente la peor pinta de Green King IPA - sedimentos, sucios, lavaplatos.Se lo comentó al personal y se le dijo que el gerente les había dicho que ignoraran la queja y que no podían hacer nada.En un área que no está llena de pubs, tiene opciones mucho mejores tanto en cerveza como en servicio al cliente.

Visité este establecimiento el sábado 16 de febrero de 2019. Había estado en el teatro The Bridge justo antes. Eran aproximadamente las 4. A las 30 de la noche, había pocas personas justas, pero de ninguna manera se apresuraban. Esperé a que me sirvieran y vino una joven dama del bar. Quería una pinta de shandy amargo y algo de comida. La señora del bar no parecía saber qué amargura vendían, por lo que cuando colocaban los grifos en diferentes partes de la barra, me dirigieron a buscarme. Básicamente terminé enfrente de donde empecé. Estábamos discutiendo lo amargo cuando un hombre del bar se acercó y señaló a algunas personas en bicicletas afuera y le dijo a la joven sobre lo genial que era su bandera. Estaba un poco perplejo de que él pensara que era "genial" interrumpirnos cuando estaba en medio de ser atendida. De todos modos, ordené que mi comida tomara mi pinta y me sentara. La comida llegó después de unos 15 minutos, que estaba bien. Los huevos fritos cubrieron el jamón, tuve que mover los huevos y ¡el jamón estaba allí! Pedazos gruesos, no rebanadas pero lo suficientemente sabrosos. Las patatas fritas y los huevos estaban bien también. La comida estaba bien, a un precio razonable, lo suficientemente sabrosa y el tamaño de la porción era razonable. Terminé mi pinta y comida y me fui. En ningún momento, ningún miembro del personal vino a ver si todo estaba bien, si necesitaba algo, otra bebida, etc. ¿No adiós como me fui? . . . ¿Volvería? Uhh probablemente no. . . bastante olvidable en realidad.

Came here for a few drinks before going to the Bridge Theatre. Great selection of beers and wines, good service and staff and not tooo expensive.

Me detuve anoche por una cerveza, una selección limitada en la bomba, pero tenían Guinness, que es mi bebida. un bonito, limpio, moderno opub que conserva características originales como las paredes de azulejos, muchos asientos y un piso superior también.Vi a otras personas comiendo, se veía bien. Revisé el menú - opciones limitadas pero todas las cosas básicas, mejor hacer algunas cosas buenas que muchas cosas no tan buenas. Opté por los bangers y el puré - cosas encantadoras, muy sabrosas, abundantes y una gran salsa. Estaba bastante impresionado. aparentemente, la comida es más barata un lunes, pero de todos modos fue una buena relación calidad-precio.El personal fue agradable, me detendré aquí de nuevo.

Un acogedor pub muy agradable. Buenos precios y una muy buena mezcla de bebedores de todas las edades. Un montón de asientos, y no demasiado ruidoso. Aunque a medida que pasaba el tiempo, ¡todos se pusieron un poco más fuertes! Fuimos por una bebida rápida y disfrutamos mucho del lugar, ¡nos quedamos por unas horas! Volveremos cuando esté en la zona.

We had lunch and late night desserts on two separate occasions. The wait staff was helpful, the food was hearty and tasty, and prices were reasonable.

This pub opposite the Bridge Theatre by the Thames proved a surprise treat. It was quite empty when we arrived for a pre theatre lunch. However it filled up while we ate. It deserves to be packed. The food was absolutely delicious. The small but compact menu offered local dishes at relatively low prices. The Cumberland sausage which came with a selection of different versions of creamed mashed potato was excellent and huge. I had a stunning chicken liver pate starter that could not have been bettered. Talk about a large portion, it could almost have been a main course. The fish and chips with mushy peas were spot on with the fish absolutely fresh and the chips very nice indeed. A good offering of beers and ciders. One of the best London pub lunches we have had in a long time. Service was very friendly and we were impressed that a slight hiccup was immediately corrected to our total satisfaction. Recommended.

Quite a surprise, we stopped at this lounge and had no expectations. But wow. Great Fish and chips, great beer and great service! a must go!

I've had a great culinary week: three meals out and two of them in excellent restaurants new to me. The Bridge Lounge was the most recent and far and away the biggest surprise. Housed in an 1875 building just opposite the entrance to Potters Field Park, City Hall and the great Bridge Theatre, it looks like any old undistinguished pub. Step inside and you'll be amazed: yes it looks like a well loved, well cared for genuine pub with an agreeable amount of space and a happy lack of music. There's a cheerful welcome from the staff even before you order unlike so many pubs where, if you are not a regular, the welcome is sometimes more like a sneer. There's a wide range of beers, wines and ciders and a shortish menu and a few daily specials. Almost everything on offer is absolutely classic British pub food, including sandwiches, and there are only one or two exotic bits and pieces available. The food, like the whole place, is generous, carefully presented and excellent. Madam had Lamb Sausages on Mustard Mashed Potatoes and I had Ham, Eggs and Chips....home made chips, three eggs, a huge amount of home cooked Ham and a slice of bread and butter....a trencherman's treat in a really old fashioned way. There wasn't much conversation as we lapsed into oohs and aahs and "Ah, that's nice" for the west Country Ale that was on tap. We had no room for desserts but they looked inventive and opulent. Service was wonderful: warm, receptive, helpful and efficient. One felt one was meeting old, caring friends. Super place, worth finding and our meal: two mains and two half pints....£22.50. Amazing.

Nous sommes tombés par hasard sur ce pub car nous cherchions où manger un fish & chips. Nous n'avons pas été déçus ! Portion généreuse pour un petit prix, véritable ambiance de pub anglais et service impeccable. Bref, adresse à retenir à Londres !

Nice, cozy pub with great british kitchen and wide collection of draught beers. What more could a pair of tourists want? :)

In London for a quick visit stumbled across this little place. Lovely food and service, very reasonable. Finished off with a lovely coffee ready for the rest of the afternoon.

Popped by for a beer because it was just across the road form my hotel. Nothing special, but the beer was good. In the noisy Tooley Street, it was rather noise on the outside tables, but besides that a relaxing place for a beer

A quelques pas de Tower bridge et d'un haut lieu touristique de Londres, ce pub à l'ancienne offre un cadre original. La salle du bas ressemble à une vieille pension de nos provinces, son parquet qui craque et son accueil chaleureux.

Su buena para visitar un auténtico, si ruidoso pub. Aunque el servicio fue bueno, la comida no estaba. Mi hamburguesa era insípida y pescado y patatas fritas de mi compañero era apenas mejor, fuimos por la cercanía del Puente Teatro un par de minutos. Hay muchos otros lugares para comer cerca. La próxima vez, probaré con uno de ellos.

Had lunch on 1st April, first time customers. Service was good and the food was nice. Food and beer reasonably priced considering location. Plenty of room for small and larger groups with seating upstairs.

Spacious interior with island bar and some real ales on tap. Pleasant, helpful staff and daily specials menu. Reasonably priced food with generous portions. The mixed grill; ham, egg and chips; beer battered fish, chips and mushy peas, are all very good. Clean loos. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

Have been to this pub a few times before and never had issues. Came on a Thursday lunchtime and asked for a pint of soda water, to which the bartender poured me one from the soda tap, and asked for £2.50. £2.50, in my opinion, is an utter joke for soda water - not even from a bottle. I queried this and he said I should've asked for the price first, and when I asked if I could change drink, he said I had to pay for the water since he'd poured it. Fair enough if this was a pint - but I've worked in pubs and know the value of soda water (from a bloody tap!). Absolutely lack of intelligence or customer service to realise this was obscene and let me change drink. Ridiculous over a glass of water!

Metimos en hoy para un almuerzo rápido, la comida era excelente y a un precio razonable. Inicialmente fuimos al bar para pedir nuestras bebidas y nos dijeron que el caballero encantador detrás del bar a tomar asiento y alguien sería a tomar nuestro pedido! Las bebidas y la comida llegó a poco menos de 20 libras extra. Vale la pena visitar +++

We fell upon this fabulous pub by accident. Hungry and cold I chose homemade pie, mash and vegetables and it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! The pastry melted in your mouth so light and the roasted vegetables cooked to perfection. My friend had a veggie burger and she too said it was the nicest she had eaten. Next time I'm in London I will certainly go back it is well worth making the journey. WELL DONE

관광을 하다보면 시간을 쫓기게 되는데, 그럴 때는 이동 동선에 있느 곳을 찾게 됩니다. 그렇게 하여 선택한 곳이 바로 이곳이었고 가볍게 점심을 먹었습니다. 칩스의 수준이 괜찮은 편이었고 직원들도 친절하였습니다. 가격도 준수합니다.

A group of us were in London for the weekend and came across the Bridge Lounge on a walk home.

We had tea, full English breakfast and lunch at this cosy restaurant, everything was well cooked and served and the...

Nigel el gerente no tratan su personal agradable y su personal en tomar es un cachondeo total. Él ridícula de ellos sin razón incluso si están haciendo un buen trabajo que no vamos a volver a este lugar a bebidas queridos y podía oír lo...

Sería desperdiciar una oportunidad si no pruebe uno de los cócteles que se ofrecen en este extraordinario pequeño bar. Muy amable y servicial joven barman quien explicó los gustos. Altamente recomendado

El momento en el que se de cuenta de que está hambriento, pero no sólo un poco mucho. . Pero caminando por el Támesis donde todo tiene un turismo basado en precios. Así que caminé una cuadra más y nos recibieron con un pub de...

Encontré este lugar por casualidad, así que por favor no, buena comida, personal agradable a la orden. Té, café o alcohol.

Tras ser ignorado en el bar durante algún tiempo, el barman finalmente dijo que era porque yo estaba tratando de ordenar desde el área de servicio. Cuando me indicó que no había señal [como en otros pubs] dijo que debería haber sido obvio aunque no había vasos vacíos cerca de mí. . .

Este hotel está situado detrás del edificio de oficinas, así que la distancia en cuanto es genial. Sin embargo, en comparación con otros bares, cuesta un poco más, y el personal del bar no son siempre que "feliz" o simpático. A veces Sourly podría ser una manera de ponerlo. Sabemos que esta en la oficina, porque nos hemos pasado mucho tiempo allí para dejar las bebidas, tragos después del trabajo o simplemente ir allí el viernes por la noche y luego desde allí después pub craw. Debido a las razones anteriores, no nos ayudan a ensanchar nuestras opciones y prepárate a caminar mucho más para ver lo que ofrecen en otros bares de Tower Bridge, el Puente de Londres y Bermondsey. En cuanto a la comida, ha sido chips que pedimos. Posiblemente tenía una comida allí, pero debe haber sido hace siglos.

Disfrutamos muchisimo de este fisch and chisp. Sabor muy casero. Mi pareja de una muy buena cerveza. El personal muy amable

Nous sommes tombés sur ce pub par le plus grand des hasards.....besoin d'aller au petit coin...preuve qu'il faut toujours suivre son instinct ;-)Ce pub est réparti sur deux étages avec la salle à manger en haut. Elle est spacieuse et très "cosy". On y trouve également des canapés en cuir avec des tables basses.Le service est très bon et courtois. La cuisine est simple mais goûteuse.Nous avons pris des salades Caesar et un burger maison. Les salades étaient excellentes et croquantes. Le Burger et les "fries" étaient très bonnes.Je le conseille vivement et en plus, c'est un lieu d'art, car on y expose des photos.

My wife and I had been walking from the Brunel Museum along the Thames footpath looking for a spot to rest our tired feet, slake our thirst and put a few calories back. What a find this place was. After poking our noses into several jam packed noisy establishments we spied the Bridge. What an oasis of peace and calm with excellent food, a great selection of beers and friendly staff. I'm glad we carried on and found you.

I'm not sure how this place only has 3.5 stars. The food is so good! Tastes like a home cooked meal. We started with the potato leek soup and calamari! Both delicious. My fiancé is a huge fan of sausage and he loved his sausage and mash! He chose the venison and wild boar. I had the daily special of chicken and mushroom pie. The service is also amazing! All very attentive and friendly. :)

Right opposite Potters field and a great little place with great staff and a good light bite and pub menu at great prices for a London pub.

A Fishfinger sandwich is a greatly under-rated epicurean delight and it is a rare find on a mainstream menu.Izzy and I were delighted to find it on the menu at The Bridge Lounge. We were with some German friends doing the tourist thing on top of a hop on hop off sightseeing bus when we spied The Bridge Lounge just before our Tower Bridge stop. This lounge is a wonderful oasis of calm with tables and chairs and loungers loosely scattered around a central island bar. How can a place be so peaceful just round the corner from the bedlam of Tower Bridge?The fishfinger sandwich was superb.

I rarely post reviews as I am one of those ungrateful consumers who enjoys good service, food and wine but doesn't take the effort to feedback on trip advisor. However, with The Bridge Lounge, I need to make an exception. From the initial meeting I had with Nigel who could not be more helpful with his advice and recommendations (thanks for the cupcakes tip) and flexibility, I definitely felt like I had come to the right place. We agreed a time when we would be able to take over the upstairs of the bar and it fit our 40 or so guests perfectly. On the day, we had Dale, Pat and team looking after us. We arrived early in the morning so we could decorate the upstairs of the bar and were provided with coffee and useful information from Dale and Pat. When the guests started to arrive (some of whom were near to or in their 70s), Pat and his bar team took their drinks orders as well as payment and then delivered the drinks to our guests to save them the stairs journey. As our guests arrived in waves, Nigel provided our food from the kitchen as and when it was required which meant there was hot food and nibbles (which went down very well with the guests) throughout the day. The evening was a huge success which was definitely in part due to the team at The Bridge Lounge and the venue itself. Nothing was too much trouble. I truly cannot thank you enough. My mum enjoyed her 70th and takes away some very happy memories.

My wife and I just happened at this wonderfully friendly pub/restaurant... The kind (and beautiful, even if it is not PC to say so...) (if it is not, than WHY???) Spanish waitress and Nigel (the all round...) boss were mutually praising each other in a jovial manner, and so were we – both! The food was great and the atmosphere arresting... (In a good sense, which needs to be emphasized in the vicinity of the TOWER...)

I am disappointed to say The Bridge Lounge has rapidly declined in standards as of late. Monday to Friday I would avoid this pub if you're after a quiet social venue or a quick pint before catching the train.The pub use to be a firm favourite of mine with great service all year round. The staff were amazing, friendly and were willing to get to know their customers for that extra special touch. However, as of late it appears the pub has suffered a major shake-up. You can now experience up to a 20 minute wait to get served at the bar and when you get there you're likely to experience another 10 minute wake whilst they try to work out how to pour your drinks. Whilst mentioning the pouring of drinks, you may as well go in with a 99p flake considering the amount of head which is on all the pints they now serve. I have no idea what the owners are trying to do. However, I think they need to take a step back and get the basics of customer service right. It's a real shame as the pub has so much potential and could be amazing.

We Called in after just walking past. Very friendly , polite staff. The food was lovely and very cheap . Nice atmosphere.

Just over the river from the Tower of London this small unassuming pub is one gem of a find. Good, well kept ales and wines are reasonably priced and served in pleasant comfortable surroundings. We didn't fancy a big lunch so opted for something a little more unusual - a fish finger roll. Top Tip of our stay: go here and order that! And maybe wash it down with a glass of the black stuff. Three good sized pieces of fresh fish in the tastiest, crispest batter you will ever have had were served with gem lettuce and a slice of beef tomato on a brioche roll with a serving of amazingly tasty fresh fried chips which entirely meet the category of perfect. We get to come to London about three times a year and this has been by far our best pub meal yet.

Con una ubicación excelente, cerca del puente de la torre y con un aspecto de Pub inglés respetable, es, a mi juicio una trampa para guiris poco advertidos.Pues eso no ocurrió. Era demasiado tarde para ir al restaurante que teníamos previsto y decidimos probar suerte en el "The Bridge Lounge" cuyo aspecto exterior no deja entrever la calidad de su comida. Nefasto. El resultado fué pésimo y ninguno de nosotros salió mínimamente satisfecho (eramos 5 personas) y más de la mitad salimos con hambre, al haber devuelto el 90% de lo que había en nuestro plato.Si algo pudiera tener es el record guiness de la peor hamburguesa de supuesta ternera. Pedida poco hecha, nos llegó una especie de bola negra de aspecto infecto y peor sabor.¡Un buen restaurante para mis enemigos! El pub de la planta de abajo, corriente y sin ninguna gracia. Total no se puede acertar siempre...

Whilst walking through the local area we came across The Bridge Lounge and decided to pop in for a bite to eat and a couple of beers. A fantastic little place that I will definitely revisit whilst in the area, the lounge was quiet when we arrived so it was easy to grab a table, they have a fairly standard range of lagers and ales on draught and a fairly decent smallish menu. We both went for the Homemade burgers as we were looking for something hearty and filling and we certainly wasn't disappointed. The portions were a good size and the food was delicious, washed down with a couple of drinks.Great way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Bar en el que se puede beber y comer algo ligero después de visitar el puente de la torre. Mobiliario con encanto y grandes ventanales con vistas a los alrededores. Samwiches y platos ligeros,perfectos para picar y hacer una pausa. También es un buen lugar para tomar una copa en la planta de arriba donde hay cómodos sofás.

Went to our friends 40th last week, We were upstairs and had lot's of lovely food laid on.Service was very pleasant and they had a good stock of drinks. Even some laphroaig which we demolished.Will be back

Attended a wedding reception here and can't fault the service and food. Great atmosphere and the bar staff were so attentive and helpful. I'm a vegetarian and they certainly provided a selection of food equally as good, if not better, that the non-veggie option. I didn't dine in the restaurant but Im told by fellow attendees that the bangers and mash on offer was delicious. Its just a 5 min walk down from London Bridge station and still retains some charm of what I would consider to be a proper London boozer. And I am a Londoner :-)

My son and I popped in here for lunch having visited some nearby tourist attractions.We ordered a burger each and drink.The service was friendly, the food came out quickly and was good quality.My only suggestion would be to maybe cook through the burger a little more for a child, I'm happy with it being a bit pink though.All round decent pub, and not rammed with tourists.

I got very DISAPPOINTED.I am registered in an app called freedrinkpubs, as some of you might know, some pubs are registered there and this weekend they were suppose to offer one drink to whoever had the voucher.... anyway,I walked a long way to get there and finaly get to know this pub, as I got in and spoke with the barman about the voucher he immediately said NO, and mentioned they were closing, I could see immediately it was an excuse for the voucher because the pub was suppose to close much later.The barman was EXTREMELY RUDE with me and it was a very UNPLEASANT situation. This isn´t the way to treat a potential client, and no one at all!Wish you bad luck and hopefuly I wont have to pass through your door any time soon.

Lar deg prøvesmake tilgjengeleg drikke og er veldig hyggelelege.Stilig lampe i baren.God mat,men noko meir mat enn ein skulle tru

Tomamos un asado de carne (roast beef) típico del sitio que solo daban los domingos.La carne estaba basta y los complementos sin gracia.También pedimos un sandwich de pollo, bacon y mayonesa; y de nuevo fue una decepción. El pan estaba sin tostar y lo de dentro no estaba malo, ya que no lleva ingredientes malos, pero no habría razón alguna para pedirlo en un restaurante.Se salvaba el camarero, que era español y bastante simpático.

This pub/restaurant is 80 metres away from Tower Bridge and is an oasis of tranquility.Food basic but of excellent quality. Service with a smile. Excellent value for money. Will visit again

We had dinner here at the end of a long day and it was delicious. The food and service were both very good. And during our dinner there was live music coming from upstairs. People singing familiar songs and the pianist was amazing! Good place to go!

Stanchi dopo la prima giornata londinese, saliamo al piano superiore di questo pub poco caratteristico e ci imbattiamo nella festa di compleanno di un pianista di musical e il suo numeroso gruppo di amici ... un'ora di canzoni corali degne di Cats! La Londra che non ti aspetti.Personale molto gentile, cibo 'normalmemte' inglese, prezzi contenuti per essere Londra.

At last a pub near tourist Central that does proper food ! Really nice Sunday dinner quiet with friendly staff and owner/mngr? Drinks bit pricey but would recommend .

Had a great night out for some leaving drinks with friends. Rachel the manager was very helpful and offered table service upstairs even though I hadn't booked but we stayed in main bar and were served by the charming Aleks. He learnt all our names which personalised the experience and served our drinks (many) and snacks very efficiently. Good beer for our beer drinkers and good value wine - a little gem to suit all tastes

Went and visited this place with some potential investors and have to admit I was impressed, the young black girl behind the bar and working the floor was exceptional, she was articulate, quick and professional throughout, other staff not so great but she worked hard and the food was to a good standard!The decor was fine and the toilets where clean, drinks a little over priced but all in all a gret time would go back again

Stopped in today on our way to an Escape room around the corner with 3 of my team. Just superb sausages ( beef and Guinness ) red hot mash and a great selection of ales. As read on previous reviews of this establishment. The place wasn't packed out so the dining and drinking was very relaxed. Stuart (?) the manager was chatty and helpful. Good taste of London. Will be back when up this way again.

Ci siamo fermati in questo locale dopo aver visitato "The tower bridge"...ottimo localino nelle vicinanze ma soprattutto con atmosfera tipicamente made in London lontano da turisti...il cibo è buono ed il servizio cortese e veloce...(con il dessert si sono un pò incartati ma può capitare!!)

Not enough staff to meet demand. Poor attention, staff avoiding eye contact. No clean glasses. Very slow inefficient service. This place would have made so much more money if they had more staff on. We left because we weren't getting served.

found this place after visiting the Poppies last Thursday. We went to the nearby Wetherspoons but it was so packed we decided to leave and look for somewhere quieter. Walking along Tooley street we came across the Bridge Lounge and decided to give it a go. There were a few people at the bar and a few seated at the tables around the light and airy bar and the whole place had a very relaxed atmosphere. We had a look at the menu and both decided to order the ham egg and chips and we had a pint of ale each which came to about £26 so about £13 each. We were told there was an upstairs restaurant so we went up there and had the whole place to ourselves,the complete opposite to the Wetherspoons.Our food soon arrived by a helpfull young waiter. The ham was nice and tender and the chips cooked just right but i thought the eggs a little dry and overcooked but with a good helping of tomato ketchup it made for a tasty meal.The upstairs has good views from the windowsSo yes i would reccomend this quiet diner if you want to have a decent meal and not too expensive away from the crowds

We found this place after visiting the poppies at the Tower of London. We had first of all found a Weatherspoons but they had not had a delivery so they had no food. We then spotted this place. It was not too busy. Just a couple of tables with people on them.There was not a lot on the menu, but it was a good selection. We both ordered fish finger roll with chips.The fish fingers were not the normal shop bought things but home made battered bits of fish. This was in a nice soft roll with some salad. The chips where in a little bucket and were a nice golden brown colour. I am guessing they were probably cooked twice. The food was lovely. Really nicely cooked and home made.

Visited this pub on Saturday lunchtime 1/11/2014. Out of 3 meals ordered, 2 were served cold, the third was just passable. After conplaining to the waiter he took both meals away, presumably to kitchen. After about five minutes both meals were returned.Mine (fish & chips) had had the fish replaced with a marginally warmer one, although the chips still weren't much warmer, (my wifes (scampi & chips) were still stone cold.We complained to the waitress this time who offered a sandwich instead!! She then took the scampi off the plate after my wife agreed to make do with just the chips! (We shared the marginally warmer fish!) It was agreed that we would not be charged for the scampi & chips!A great pity as the food was quite tasty & well presented, guess they must have problems with the cooker!Not a place we shall visit again.

A very busy day in London, hot and sunny, and crowds aplenty, and a complete lack of decent dining venues, until, that was, we stumbled across this place! It's well positioned, and yet, in spite, of this, it feels like a proper pub (and has no pretensions of grandeur). That said, however, we were lucky: many who followed us in were turned away, as the place was recovering from a lunchtime rush, and we consider ourselves lucky to have avoided that treatment. Anyway, on the plus side, the staff were good, attentive and knowledgeable, the atmosphere was spot-on, and - to top it all - the fish-finger-sandwiches were out of this world, and more than compensated for the 40 minute wait for them; they were astonishing, and were more akin to mini battered cod fillets rather than anything that Cap'n Birds Eye could have conjured up! So, all in all, we were lucky - whereas many others weren't - and we will re-visit, as it felt "proper".

This is a Gastro Pub in Tooley Street close to London Bridge. It is sort of between "hot spots" (Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast, Cutty Sark, etc) so doesn't get overwhelmed. A nice airy, light interior to the large windowed facades, with simple, yet effective food choices. This is a ideal lunch spot. I suspect evenings will be quite different. But here, you can be comfortable in groups of 2, 3 or 4 and watch the world going by outside whilst you take your choice from the menu. My recommendation is to use it as a filler, between events. It has a good selection of light meals and starters you could mix and match into a decent lunch. Main courses are standard pub fare of the gammon, egg and chips variety. Nothing wrong with that, but if you are really that hungry, you might be better looking around a little for a more exciting offering.

Myself and a friend visited this place for a quick drink last week and received the worst service I think I've ever had in a pub.Without paying much attention to the wine list she went to the bar and ordered two glasses of house white. The barman started to pour the first glass and she noticed he was pouring a large glass so quickly explained that we only wanted medium glasses. To this he replied that it was too late and started to pour a second large glass. In disbelief, we then asked him why he'd poured another large glass after she'd specifically told him we didn't want that size. I also suggested that he could have transferred the wine in the first large glass into two mediums and then simply topped the second one up. He then rudely told us that it was our job to inform him what size we wanted and then he proceeded to start serving someone else. When he finally came back to us we asked to speak to the manager and he said that he wasn't willing to get them and if he/she did come out and speak to us then they would simply back him up. At this point we decided we didn't really fancy drinking in this place and left.As far as I understand it, pubs in the UK have a legal obligation to offer wine in not only medium but also small (125ml) measures if requested by the customer. I was shocked that this bar didn't ask us whether we wanted a small, medium or large glass and then when challenged we were told that we had no option but to have a glass that contains a 1/3 of a bottle of wine.As someone who both lives and works closeby, I will be telling everyone I know to avoid it like the plague.

After wandering around the Tower Bridge area in London on a Sunday we were hungry and looking for something that was not a complete tourist restaurant; thankfully we came upon this location and couldn't have been more pleased with this discovery. Finding an open restaurant on Sunday was a bit more challenging than expected.Located at the corner of Tooley St. and Druid St. with plenty of windows so you can enjoy the hustle of the city. The dining area is well laid out, with table surrounding the bar area and plenty of seating.Sitting down, the staff was friendly and quick to help. The menu was not massive, but there was plenty selection. I ended up having their Pie of the Day and it was incredible, I tried to find something else like it and was not able to. Paired it with some cask ales made for an amazing meal. The prices were a relief too...you will not go broke and you will be well fed.I would recommend this location to anyone: friendly staff, delicious food. We definitely have hopes of returning here.

super friendly, local pub with a quiet eating area upstairs. a great variety of bangers and mash combination including vegetarian. great view of London City Hall and the Thames.
