The Oiler Bar in Newham

Great night out in unique setting! The comedy night was excellent. The boat provided very good facilities . Love the decor. Tasty pizzas too! Perfect location and chilled place for relaxing evening. This place is a real gem!

Great location for Comedy night held below deck. Range of beers/lagers on offer. Quite a wide choice of delicious pizzas on offer from Enzo.

Great location, good choice of beer and not a bad pub in an area where there is a dearth of good pubs. The rating would be higher were it not for the plastic glasses and the completely unnecessary music blaring out - I go to the pub to talk to the people I'm with not to listen to a random selection of music - turn it down and get off my lawn.

Nice location and good staff. Had a tasty pint of Camden Pale here but loses a star for the use of single use plastic cups. The bartender explained that this was due to an insurance issue. My suggestion would be to use the more sturdy plastic cups which can be washed and reused.

What an incredible find! Had no idea this existed, the best place around for miles!! If you’re in this area for the cable car or wakeboarding then it’s a no brainer. Looking forward to my next visit

Been living in the royal docks for almost 3 years, went for the first time and great place to vibe , although they should start having Guinness/Stout as well

One of my favourite spots in London

This is a fantastic pub. Lovely outside seating area and an equally nice indoor area. Good selection of beers and nice and friendly service. Top notch

THE OILERRRR! Top vibes and views over the water.

This was a great little find, hidden away in plain sight in the London Docklands area across from ExCel Centre. There was a IPA and a Paulner beer on draft, both were decent beers. I sat on the deck watching people water ski, but a walk into the hull, showed much of this gem is hidden. For beer lovers it's a refreshing place in a rather disappointing area for people who like beer and are sick of getting ripped off with over inflated London prices.

loved it . staff friendly and stunning views

Nice location and views. Quirky. Prices are beyond ridiculous- £11 or a large glass of House wine!!! I've been to Michelin restaurants, posh rooftop bars with great views etc, and not payed this much for drinks. I would have happily stayed for a few drinks as its the only bar in the area but there was no way we were buying another drink from here

Lovely ambience and great spot for drinks at the end of Victoria Dock with nice views to the river, cable car and the beach. Would definitely return!

Quaint little boat bar. It was interesting but a bit disappointed with their selection. The beer I had was nice but it was a bottled beer as I'm more in dark beers and they only had lighter beers on tap. Unfortunately it was a cold evening so I didn't stay too long as I was sitting on the top deck.

Nice choice of craft beers, great on a warm day outside.

5 star for the vibe and views. We went for a beer and few pizzas. There was nice music playing and the sun did its job quite well. Makes you feel like you are having lunch from Baratie in one peice. The pizza had excellent crust, they can work slightly on topping and sauce. Will definitely go again.

Very relaxed atmosphere with great drinks and wonderful fresh made pizzas.

Great bar, lovely vibe, decent selection of ales... just wish they had more/better planet & animal-friendly (vegan) food options.

Loved the chilled vibe at this bar, luckily we managed to find a seat on a hot Saturday afternoon. Great to sit and watch the planes going overhead from City airport and watching the wakeboarders. We ordered a pizza from the little kitchen on board, a little expensive but it was very nice. Quirky little bar down the stairs where the toilets are.

Nice little find. Sun trap with a view of the surprisingly varied watersports nearby (open water swimming and wakeboarding). Nice selection of beers. Didn't try the pizzas but they looked and smelt great!

Really enjoyed this bar. Quirky setting, friendly staff and good selection of drinks. The food was tasty as well and delivered fast!

A very special pub on the river, very nice view at night but was so cold Please stop using asda concentrated juice Thank you for providing ash trays on every table Service was alright, might return

Nice place. Pizza was slow but tasty.

On a nice sunny day can do a lot worse. Lovely vibes, music, good breeze overlooking the Dock. Cider was great and not too sweet. I hear the pizza is great I hear, will be back

Great spot on the docks for drink and food. Lovely views. Good choice of music give it a try you won't be disappointed

This place is a true gem, especially on a beautiful day. The lager on tap was crisp and refreshing, and the margarita pizza was delicious. The perfect combo! I highly recommend it!

Loved it, will definitely be back, dog friendly

Great bar by the dock. It feels like holidays but we're just in London.

Great chilled bar, fab views with good selection of beers

Polite staff, cute place to drink, prices decent

Great location , lively atmosphere, lovely pizza. I would recommend a visit so much going on around you to keep you interested, water ski, cable cars etc

Amazing! So chill. We will be back.

Best place to relax in east London, great beers and pizza and also 5 star staff. Really recommend!

Amazing place. Perfect customer service. Pizzas are very very tasty, definitely recommend. Good views and place to chill. Once again, perfect pizzas.

Great bar right on the water. The views and beer were great, especially nice on a sunny day! We had an IPA and an ale and both were good. There are sofas in the main part and tables and benches/chairs in the part adjacent to the bar area. The toilets were also nice - wasn't even sure if they'd have any with it being on the water but was pleasantly surprised with them.

Great pub by the water, great vibe. Pricey cocktails in my opinion tho, beer prices not so much. Defo would there again.

Cool atmosphere but food is meh! Don’t get the Italian nachos as they are poor quality cheese and chips. Pizza was ok. Beer options pretty good. A plane will pass over every few minutes.

Super chillige Bar am Wasser. Toller Blick auf die Seilbahn. Gute Cocktails und feines Bier. Top 🫶🏻

Great bar with good beer selection on a boat. Great views and friendly staff. A real hidden gem.

Beautiful views across the dock and a real buzz on a sunny evening. Comfy booths. Delicious signature cocktails. Thank you Oiler Bar!

Bonito y agradable sitio para tomar una buena pinta

Super cool boat bar, friendly relaxed vibe with a walm downstairs when the weather's not great

Lovely little bar with character and great views. Came twice in a weekend we liked it that much. Very relaxed vibe and was fun watching the water skiing

Fabulous old bar on a lovely old barge, offering great drinks both up on deck and down below. Great views! This quirky bar is definitely worth a visit. Even found modelo being served - great to have a different variety, especially in London!

Love this place! We have lived in the area for 4 years and I have been wanting to go in forever. We have finally visited twice in the last few weeks. The staff are lovely and there’s a really nice vibe. Having a drink by the water and watching the world go by is great. My mother in law was quite taken by Terry who was really nice and friendly . Will definitely be back!

Came across this bar whilst staying at a hotel close by. Such a warm welcome when we arrived. Good drinks. Good vibes. Would definitely return.

Great place for a drink and wind down chilling after a busy day sight seeing in London .. short walk from cable car .. Good selection of drinks and well priced food .. and great views of planes landing at London City

Witzige Bar mit Blick auf die Docks, rustikal eingerichtet. Service gut.

Great bar in a fab location to people watch, water ski watch and cable car watch. Not many tables though so be patient and spend a sunny day with a great bunch of peeps. My 84 year old dad loved it lol

Cozy bar nice music and best cocktails 🥰

Cute little riverside Bar. Prices are expensive (13.50 for a small pizza) but I guess this is to be expected due to the location.

It’s the best bar with vintage vibes! My happy place 🥰

Pleasant on a good weather day. Has pizza and nachos and small ice cream tubs

Nice bar where you can also enjoy tasty pizzas, all in a lovely location overlooking the docks. However, I don't think that in this time and age there's any excuse for bars like this one using flimsy disposable plastic cups for ALL drinks, so much for caring for our environment. It's really a shame cause the experience is otherwise enjoyable.

Great place to spend an afternoon with good pints, good friends, and good tunes. Thanks to Terry and the random Canadian takeover that rocked up out of nowhere. (Well, Canada, so not nowhere...)

Superb location, vegan pizza outstanding 👌🏼

Good pizza, friendly staff, beautiful wine and great atmosphere

Not actually open when Google says it is

Great setting with views over Victoria docks you can drink great beers whilst watching people being dragged around the wake boarding course and be served a delicious pizza. Fantastic!

Amazing location perfect for when it's hot and sunny

Nice place with good pizza and beer 😉

An unusual venue for a bar but one that works very well. Good atmosphere, great views of the docks and dangleway and cheerful, friendly staff. They do decent pizza too. The range of draught beer was a little limited, 3 of the 6 taps were off and no cask options at all, which was a little disappointing. Good selection of bottles though. All in all I'd be happy to visit again.

Very nice bar had a pizza was good nice friendly staff Only thing wrong its plastic pint glasses

Good selection of beers and great staff!!!

Friendly vibe and amazing pizza Dog friendly and good views.

Good bar and nice location by the Dock

Great choice of ale. Did not eat there but enjoyed drinking my pint n watching people wake boarding. N cable cars moving.

Can't believe it's taken me so long to get here. Awesome location and setting. Reasonable prices and great staff. Update: still love this spot, some people complain about the lack of beers but there is a good range and you can't expect it to be the same as a big pub when they have cellars probably as big as the boat! Staff are always friendly and there are great vibes.

Went last October for comic con great time one of thr best places to go for a drink the pizza if great

An amazing place! Delicious pizza, a great selection of drinks and good atmosphere on a boat. Very much recommend visiting

Nice,would go back prices are higher then normal and not many drinks to choose from (we were drinking alcohol)pizza is very good

A few years ago, I flew to the UK to participate in MCM *London with some friends of mine. Afterwards one day we walked here and had an amazing time, the night before my flight home to the US. Great food, great drinks and great service. I absolutely plan to come here every time I visit the UK from now on and always remember to recommend it to my friends and coworkers when they talk about visiting the UK!

I put 4 stars 🌟 because in my opinion they should sell more beer 🍺 (now they have only Heineken)and the toilets could be a bit cleaner with tissues.

What a lovely bar. Great way to spend a few hours watching the surfer’s on the river. Really friendly atmosphere, the bar at one end and the kitchen at the other. Pizzas looked amazing. Can’t believe we just stumbled across this amazing little bar!

Awesome, quirky little boat bar. Nowhere else like it in London!

Nice little bar on the end of the docks

Really loved the ambience, friendly staff, a shame we missed the live music but the background music played was good. I would have preferred not to drink from a plastic cup and would urge moving to paper to be more environmentally friendly. thank you

We discovered this place while walking our dogs in the neighbourhood. It really cool that it's an actuall boat! Lovely place with lovely drinks. Our dogs even got a treat and water from the staff and they sell ice cream for dogs too! The pizza was delicious!

Very nice place, enjoyed a pint, specially at night is wonderful.

It used to be such a great place for drinks in summer but now the prices are so high. You are paying restaurant prices on an outdoor bar that’s dirty, and being served a £10 glass of red wine in a plastic cup. They also jumped up their pizza prices too. Overpriced and not going back. Such a shame as I used to go a lot on summer.

Really nice bar on a boat, nice place to drink when the whether is nice, or come go below deck if cold

very well and warmly I was received😘☺️

Great blue water, great blue sky, great music, and fabulous personnel. My top place. Best to the staff. Pekka

Great view and delicious IPA from their brewery.

Really friendly staff/owners - the best place to be on a sunny day and even a cold one ( downstairs is warm and cosy). Pizza is one of my favourites in London - nothing beats a pizza literally brought right out of the oven to you!

Nice views facing the docklands

Great little bar, especially on a nice day, sitting by the water. Good selection of beers, and decent pizza.

Love this place! Beautiful views and great service. They've got draught beers, cocktails and homemade pizza 💯

A great hidden gem with a unique and decent selection of beer. The staff is lovely and super friendly. I accidentally left my phone there last night and not only did the staff keep it safe but also put it on charging behind the bar so I could track it and collect it easily. I've been a few times already and can't wait to go back!

Really nice set up, quiet spot near the Excel center with nice beer and good pizza.

Amazing location great vibes and awesome drinks

We stopped here for a quick drink one afternoon. Nice place, pleasant staff, great view of the dock and the waterskiing!

Great place... Venue downstairs would be an awesome place for a small party

Pizza was very tasty and the atmosphere is pretty cool!

Fantastic place , nice beer and friendly

Lovely bar on the river. Lazy feel, which chilled music. It actually is a boat, which makes it all the more interesting. They also serve food which makes for a good snack or lunch venue.

Sehr netter Pub direkt neben der Station der Emirates Air Line. Schöne Biere und nicht zu teuer.

Lovely location. Friendly staff.

I visited a couple of years back and was not impressed. Pandemic aside, the bar is now serving good beer and the service is doing the best they can given how busy things get. Would recommend on a nice day.

Had been looking forward to a trip to the Oiler Bar all evening. So disappointed to arrive dead on closing time, after waiting 15 minutes for the bill at the nearby Thai restaurant and be refused service. One might have considered a little compromise considering the circumstances. But hey, we had a nice beer and friendly service at the Heroica Lounge bus. Service with a genuine smile is always nice.
