The Commercial Tavern in Tower Hamlets - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food was awesome and the staff couldn't help enough. Will 100% be back.

Authentic London pub, with a very good atmosphere and good price for London.

Had a lovely visit, food was great and amazing stuff who couldn’t be more helpful, I returned later on in the evening where the vibe was great. Definitely be returning

Lovely little spot!! Staff were so friendly too!! Love the quirky decor and fab atmosphere - will deffo come back and deffo recommend!

Used to be a great pub, but now they think they're to hip and progressive to use cash. no visible signs stating that fact. No wonder it was so quiet!

Nice old fashioned pub with a good selection of beers including one of my favourite beers in Neck oil. Price also quite reasonable. Staff very sociable and quick service. Would recommend especially if you like a pub as it would have been years ago. We were there early Sunday afternoon and was quite empty , but glad we were not there from 5pm as virtually every table on both ground and first floor were booked to watch England v Spain football and assume it would then be very noisy. Loads of tv sets on both floors.

Very cool place! Loved the decor, shabby chic classic pub. Football on the TV. Comfortable seating, and a good selection of drinks.

Fantastic Pub! Great Atmosphere and the team were amazing!

Great location, great vibes, great selection of beer and wine. Dog friendly too.

Favourite pub in Shoreditch! Always buzzing with great atmosphere & top notch service. Easy to say they do nicest Guinness down east end too. Chris is a great guv'nor knows his regulars by the name

Cool place to enjoy your beers 🍻, nice interior decoration, spacious outdoor, just for standing up.

On of my favorite bar in the world. Super nice inside and outside. Great choice of beer and very fiendly staff. Very reasonably priced as well. I mean, even the other customers are nice. And all of that since I've know them ~15 years ago. You should try :)

Traditional pub with a typically London atmosphere. An impressive choice of Whiskey.

Lovely pub just right in Shoreditch. Good selection of pint and good customer service!

Top boozer, beers always quality and so are the vibes

Great atmosphere lovely attentive staff Best place in shoreditch

Great bar, excellent service really friendly staff highly recommended

Quality boozer. Chris was great. Can’t recommend enough.

Lively pub, but be warned even early on a Saturday evening the DJ's music was very loud

One of my fav pubs in Shoreditch near Spitafields. Great interiors, if the upstairs is not booked they have a great room with tapestry and old pictures who I recommend to take a look at (no spoilers)

Great selection of drinks and friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere, could have stayed all day!

Nice pub to enjoy some time with friends. Poured a nice Guinness.

Popped in for a drink on a very wet and miserable day...ordered a bloody mary cocktail ...dont even Really drink them but it caught my eye on board. If they are always like the one I had here, they will be my new drink, it was delicious and a good size too. Great pub, great decor, really quirky. You could spend your whole visit just observing your surroundings.

Went to the Commercial Tavern for a private hire. Great atmospher and service.

Great place in the neighborhood, good beers, affordable prices (for the rest of London xD) and impeccable service. Good music and clean bathrooms. A success!

Staff eating behind the bar, toilets stunk and no customer service at all. Very disappointing also do people not do toilet checks ?

Great for a few drinks. Nice range of beverages especially the gins. Had a nice atmosphere and people on bar eas friendly

Unfriendly staff, half asleep, Dragonball t-shirt, leaning on the bar like they don't need us to come in and contribute to their wages. Take a 3 stars and use it as constructive feedback. Get yourself a proper pub character to front your bar, someone who will greet costumers as they go in and spend their hard earned money and keep you in business

Lively pub with an eclectic mix of clientele. Nice selection of beers and spirits and really friendly staff

The veranda at the commercial tavern was the perfect place to host our event. Ellie was an amazing bartender, we loved it.

Just wondered in for a drink. Did not eat here, but the usual range of drinks you would expect from a bar. DJ on site. Friendly bar staff. I would say majority of the crowd was in 20s to early 30s age range. Even so we did not feel uncomfortable. Great decor.

Trendy pub, large sort of beers & good music!

Rude service, if WE Can even call it service

Really great Christmas Party. We hired out the Commercial Tavern for a work Christmas Party. The team was so fun, friendly and attentive - nothing was too much trouble. Also great value for money considering it's in central Shoreditch. Would definitely recommend and book again!

Been here for drinks before several times and always had fun, but recently also booked for a work event (bigger group) and it was perfect in every way!! They were super accommodating and flexible with pre-orders. The room upstairs was so amazing, very cozy and pretty, and perfect for a private party. The staff was very friendly, the food was lovely and drinks were cheap. So overall, amazing experience, can highly recommend it for any event!

Great atmosphere for a beer or two

Great pub, large selection of drinks. They used to have pizza and food option show we they are still renovating their kitchen which means the food gets there from another place. It’s a great spot in shoreditch

A classic boozer with a great atmosphere, but they could do with a few more Real Ales on tap.

Dive bar star pub. Really interesting quirky details!

Ok, nice Leute, aber die Musik etwas laut. Aber sonst ein typisches Pub mit großer Bierauswahl

Great improvement more comfortable and nicer atmosphere 👌

Quite an institution in Spitalfields this east end booze place had an enjoyable atmosphere. Not too busy but busy enough (I went on a Friday night).

Beautiful pub and very friendly team, the perfect combo!

Great pub for a beverage any time of the day.

Great pub. Full of character and few locals as well as the obligatory hipsters...

Good pizzas and variety of drinks. Amazing vibe for a rainy weekday evening.

Lively pub in Shoreditch. Original high ceilings in the large bar area. Decent range of cask beer. Plenty of outdoor seating areas.

Great pub, always has a good atmosphere

Cool place!! Greetings from Colombia ! 🫶

Great pub, went a few times when staying in Shoreditch. Would recommend if looking for somewhere chill for a few pints.

Grabbed a few pints here. Quick service and cold beer poured the right way.

Good atmosphere and a nice selection of drinks. Great pit stop while in the area.

It's so bad it's good, the decor! Omg it looks like someone tipped up a skip and used the contents for practical and aesthetic use! We loved it and will definitely go back! So quirky and the staff were excellent and welcoming.

Schöner Pub, mit netten Leuten und freundlicher Bedienung.

Top notch pub with incredible staff! Great selection of drinks and an awesome vibe both inside and out. I visit often with my dog and they give him so much love and affection.

Uriger und authentischer Pub mit tollem viktorianischem Ambiente, aber im hinteren Bereich sehr finster. Die Getränke sind an der Bar zu holen, aber es gibt sogar eine Getränkekarte. Der Gastgarten wirkte sehr voll, drinnen konnten wir aber noch einen Sitzplatz ergattern. Wir blieben nicht allzu lange, es war aber ein sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt.

Never had any food. Really nice pub. Friendly staff good service. Outside seating and Music.

Nice place, packed with people and Great atmosphere! No food, but a trad pub in Shoreditch!

Very nice place for a drink quite relaxing.

A pub we stopped by on our way back to the overground station, and it was a very nice and smooth experience. Place looks old and kind of historical (it was a trading place or office but can't remember exactly), lovely decorated. The ladies at the bar were nice and friendly

The Commercial Tavern 📍 142 Commercial St, London E1 6NU 🚇 Shoreditch High Street ❤️ A newly refurbished Spitalfields boozer. . Built in 1865 and Grade II listed, The Commercial Tavern’s unique and beautiful Victorian facade is one of the most striking in London. The new paint job has the pub looking great.

Good place for after work drinks. Could do with more ales.

The decor left me confused, the prices had me vexed and the bar staff, made me frustrated. One star for the location and the other for cleanliness.

Characterful pub, relaxed vibe, great drinks selection

Fair prices and good athmosphere

Good beers, good vibe, can get pretty busy

Stopped in for a pint of Guinness that was a perfect pour (and im very picky, being Irish lol) lovely staff, good vibes only!!! Plus I lost my phone there and managed to get it back! One of the coolest bars I've been to, defo gonna stop by again!

Vibe is average for the area, and the bar staff was attentive. The inside is pretty packed, so dont expect a seat around peak time. Not the nicest guiness pour. good quality but minimal tap selection. Would go back, though, It isn't high on the list.

Institutionally grand property & corner location. Well blended vintage feature in a modernised pub still in touch with its roots. Okay selection of beers and an interesting team. Good vibes, good buzz.

Characteristic place with a pleasant vibe. Clearly a pub with history and lots of beers to chose from.

Very nice ambience, good selection of beer, quick service. Music is not too loud. Bit of an island of peace not far from brick lane market

Asked for a simple dry martini but they couldn’t make it although they have all ingredients 👀

Lovely spot. Everything was great. Service, drinks and ambience. Definitely can see this being a go to neighborhood bar or coming out of your way for a dependable good time.

Getting busy and not enough seats. Limited options on tab

Cool pub, really nice friendly staff. Booked for a large group for my birthday and the bar staff were very accommodating and even gave us our own room upstairs

Warm and welcoming atmosphere, friendly bar staff and a good drink selection. I spotted some Trappistes Rochefort in the fridge, which is always a good sign. They are also doing beautiful cocktails. Shabby- chic on purpose (people who are expecting a more traditional pub interior might find it a bit tacky). Mostly younger people were there, some indie pop was playing in the background, toilets were clean. The prices are what they are in this part of London because rents and energy costs are what they are in this part of London. Which means not exactly cheap....but hey, treat yourselves.

Fine spot to celebrate Marli's birthday,they even let us go out and bring food back.Great night

We lost the World Cup but we won a friend. Fair enough.

The commercial Tavern is a top boozer not to be missed

Great vibe! The beer selection and the quality was not great.

Local is fine, staff is fine, the only thing I did not like was my bloody mary. Pure water tasted like cold sriracha. Beers are nice.

Great location. Small food menu which makes it easy to decide (pizza). The food is nice and came quickly but the pizza base is too thin when you have one with lots of toppings. Good beer selection. Polite staff and clean toilets

My favourite boozer in Herne Hill!

Great spot in the heart of shoreditch! The area is changing a lot bit that spot still keeping the old soul

Quirky bar with helpful and friendly staff

Station pubs are usually the worst. This one isn't

It's ok don't take cash .. and it's pricey for the area ....but apart from that great place!

Very good authentic Italian food. All 3 coursed were great.

It was fine. Not much else to say. Plain if anything. Dreary maybe. We had a beer each and left to find somewhere more to our liking.

After a busy day in the city stopped by for drinks and pizzas which were all great. However, staff seriously need some being friendly and smiling training!!!!! Girl behind bar took our near 70 quid order with not a hint of a smile, thank you or any actual genuine interest in us or her job at all!!! Was actually quite laughable. Have a word with your barstaff. A smile should really be a bare minimum.

Good selection of beers with very quick service. Not too pricey for the area.

One of the coolest pubs in town. Limited on the cider selection. On the other hand, they serve great pizzas to go with your drink

Fun bar to hang with friends. Ordered cocktails upstairs and had a really great time until they closed on a Saturday night!

Bellissimo pub,buoni cocktail,buona la pizza con possibilità di senza glutine

Traditional London pub with character, has plenty of different ales to choose from. Bar staff were very friendly and helpful.

If you want craft lagers then have a go and ignore this review. I will be honest and say that I am a fan of old school pubs (my other reviews make this obvious) so when the barman couldn't even pronounce the first draught they had after I asked what was on offer it wasn't a good sign. I popped in for a pint and left half of it behind as it was just not to my taste. If you like a random selection of stuff then give it a go as the service was quick and there seemed to be a few people in there but if, like me, you want an old school boozer do not be fooled by the outside and keep on walking.

Chill place! Nice beers, friendly staff and hip vibe!

Very nice, perfect place for a well kept pint of real ale on a warm evening.

Petit bar à la déco comme j'aime 😂

Si bien no es de las tabernas más elegantes ni limpias, el personal muy amable y amigable y cerveza muy rica
