The Pride of Spitalfields in Tower Hamlets

Cozy and welcoming classic pub, run by wonderful ladies. Some of the best real ales in town. A real gem

Authentic English pub... Great crowd

Great beer at a good price for London. About £5 a pint. Very busy on a Friday evening.

Loved it! A must visit for the nostalgic or anyone not old enough to remember the 70s and wanted to experience it. The staff were lovely and friendly and the service was great!

This is the best pub around in the Spitafields area. When you walk in, it's like going back in time. No frills, no worries, and the best pints. You'd be a fool not to stop by for a Pint!

If you know you know, if you don't come on now

Great local boozer. Busy on a Monday evening and full of locals and visitors alike. Good prices and choice of ale considering the location. Everyone is very friendly and the music is great.

A fantastic little boozer. Great fire. Comfy seats. A couple of rooms. Seats at the bar. A few good ales. Crisps. And the feeling that you’re genuinely in a ‘public house’. Like a sitting room for the community. Exactly as a good pub should be. Love it.

Came as down the road from work and No 18. On the Timeout list of great pubs. Pub has a history (look it up). Had 2 cask beers, well priced. Just a proper pub as they should be. Must try a salt beef sandwich next time.

Fantastic old style boozer - friendly staff and great prices too!

Atmosphere is where is its at for The Pride. Small, close, wood and warm. Got a pint for 5 pounds, which is a bonus. Tight sueeze at 5:30 on a weekday with after with the after work crowd, but there's always space outside.

The realest of pubs. The fairest pint prices in London. Kept coming every evening while in town.

Guys, Drieschner was visiting again and of course thirsty. Of course, at Pride, as we insiders call it, we downed a nice lukewarm ale. Super refreshing. The king here is of course the ambience. Pub couldn't be more honest. Only people who take their business seriously come here: destroying beer.

Nice pint of beer, behind Spitalfields Market.

Lovely comfortable pub to sit in. Great beers - London Pride, Fuller's ESB. Great music from the DJ - You give me fever, Depeche Mode, loved it! No food tonight. Hope to get back here!

Great little place. Check out vinyl Mondays

Solid pint of Guinness in an old school pub

Always busy, but always a good atmosphere with an excellent choice of drinks and good service. A little gem off the beaten track!

Great selection of real ale, nice atmosphere and friendly staff - all good!!!

Decent little boozer really good atmosphere Very nice Guinness

Quality proper old boozer in an otherwise fairly dry part of town. Decent beer at reasonable prices and a good atmosphere - what’s more to like? 👍

Love this pub...they were a bit stressed on Thursday night and it showed

We didn’t eat at the pub but the atmosphere amazing, the friendliness superb, prices perfect. Best pub near Brick Lane.

Nice little back street boozer just off Brick Lane. Popped in mid afternoon and there were a few locals as well as tourists there. Friendly staff

We come here every time we visit London. It's a gem. The staff are lovely. The sandwiches to die for. Pints are great, cold, reasonable and a-plenty. The music is fab. DJ is mint! Dodge the wine🤪! ( It's a boozer, not a wine bar!) Cannot WAIT to do another 24 hrs over 3 days, in here, catching up with mates who don't live in the area, but are willing to travel across London town!. We love you guys!!! 😘😘

Can't be beaten. Between Saturday and Monday we spent nearly 24 solid hours in there. Enough said.

Nice, traditional pub off Brick Lane, with reasonable prices considering the touristy area. We will definitely pop in again when we're in the area for a Guinness or two

Great local pub. Warm and cosy. Good selection of beers. A boozers boozer. Back again, and still the same great boozer.

Just an excellent little pub in a side street off Brick Lane. Great range of ales, well-kept and well-served, at good value prices that you don't often see in London. Friendly and attentive service from nice people. No braying City boys, no delusions of 'gastro pub' status. No all-day breakfasts like Wetherspoons. Just a proper pub ... I wish there were more of them ...

Classic old school boozer near Brick Lane's famous curry restaurants. A relic of a bygone era in an area without many proper pubs. Fullers & other cask ales always on tap. Great to see ESB on. Friendly service and decent prices. Cheers!

Cozy classic pub with great vibes down a backstreet. Great place for a 5$ pint and chill atmosphere.

TripAdvisor only lets you review places that you have been in the last year. So I am creating this review as an archive for myself for my November 2018 trip. This place was amazing. New friends took us here because they had 'real ale'. Located down a back ally near brick lane, this place was great. My friend and I talked our way behind the bar because we had flowers and offered them to the bartender. We even poured a few ales while we were back there. Some of the nicest people I have met in London ran this place. You gotta go!

Cheapest Pint in Shorditch. Really friendly atmosphere. Gave you the feel that you stepped back in time. So sooo cute. Highly recommend it 🥰❤️

Been a few years since I last visited this pub. However, nothing appears to have changed & that's a good thing. Still very busy, swift service & reasonably priced Guiness. £5:50 a pint for this part of town. Excellent hostelry if you ever find yourself around Brick Lane.

One of the great (and sadly few) east london boozers. Good selection and a better atmosphere

Best pub in London. Nice people in a very good location. Every time i go to London i drink some pints in this proper pub

Great little pub made feel very welcome by the barmaid Jayne.

An actual neighborhood pub, really small but great atmosphere. We came across this place out of nowhere and loved it!

Sick spot. Classic pub feel inside. Quiet and simple really not much else to say. If you complain about a place like this you're a wanker.

Service may be a bit slow but thats only because the bar is small. Beautifully cheap pints for the area.

One of my favourite pubs in the area mostly due to the friendly staff and atmosphere inside. Generally very popular leading to lots of spill out on to the street.

Great little pub just off Brick Lane.

Nice to have a drink in a London pub and not have to pay London prices. A traditional old fashioned boozer that is well worth a visit if you happen to be in Spitafields.

Always buzzing and cheapest pint in central London

Really lovely pub. Staff seemed nkce with the charm of the small, family owned pub type.

As a local guide I can honestly say that this is a old timey style BOOZER Affordable Guinness Red carpeted floor Brilliant Nice old smell Can’t wait to go back Five star

Great old school boozer. Bathrooms are however, for women, unacceptable.

Boss old school boozer. Great pub with lots of character and extremely reasonable prices for London. You can get a pint of Guinness for under a fiver, lucky to get it for that price in a lot of places in the north even nowadays. Good mix of people from locals, people working in the area and tourists. They also have cask ales and some lagers on tap.

Excellent Boozer! Small but super cosy with a good selection of cask and a good pint of guinness at a decent price.

Fuller's London Pride for under £5!!! Need I say more!? I don't think so 😅

Really great pub, everything you expect from an English pub.

A guaranteed good night with friends in an authentic British pub. The nicest staff behind the bar only make the experience better

An early evening summer beer soaking up the atmosphere off Brick Lane? Yes please.

A most excellent little boozer just off Brick Lane, traditional but not themed.

Belting boozer. We had a fantastic evening!

Old school and too cool. This is a real neighborhood pub. Enjoy the red velvet. Grab a couple beers and have a great conversation with everyone.

I had such a wonderful time in this establishment. It is the perfect "off the beaten path" London experience, and full of history, as it is in the neighborhood of the Jack The Ripper murders. In fact, one of the patrons of this bar, George Hutchinson, met with Mary Kelly, the famed "last victim" of Jack The Ripper, after drinking here in 1888. I came here during the day, was treated with kindness even though I was just like any touristy American on a Ripper walk. Such a down-home, country village vibe tucked away on a cobblestoned street in Whitechapel. The interior is that old-world vibe of wooden paneling and red upholstery. The prices were reasonable and unpretentious. Please, please, please make this one of your stops when you visit London.

Cozy old school pub with a charming vibe. Drinks were affordable and the service was friendly and efficient.

Amazing Salted Beef 🥩 Sandwich. Great music and atmosphere with wonderful engaging staff. A hidden gem

Quaint old pub with excellent staff

A cosy pub with a lot of young people and four beers from the cask. They also have Guinness, Fosters from tap and a couple of bottles, if you want.

Simply put, if you miss a good old school boozer, this is for you. I adore the place. The food, drink service and people. I always makes note to go out of my way to pop by this unique place, everytime I'm near Brick Lane 😁

Seek and you will find, a proper old school boozer.

Proper old school pub with great locals and well kept beer. A real hidden gem.

Fantastic atmosphere in this hidden gem.

Very traditional old pub just off Brick Lane in Spitalfields. Good range of Beers and really good Salt Beef Sandwiches for £5. Well worth a visit pre or post curry.

Elite pub in a cultural melting pot. Feels like you're in your nan's front room. Friendly staff, traditional pub atmosphere, but best of all prices that aren't a rip off. Thanks TPOS! 🍻

Such a good effort from the bar on what was the hottest eve of the year (Thursday night)! They were all smiles, was a pleasure to be there x

A busy pub just off Brick Lane. Traditional with red carpet and fairly old furnishings indoors. Small bar area with old skool landlord/lady. Plenty drinking outside on the pavement. Definitely has character but not really my crowd.

A nice, traditional pub just a few meters away from the noisy Brick Lane with friendly staff. Well worth a visit

Considering its right next to hipster brick lane, 2 pints for under a tenner feels surreal

Great pub, friendly staff and very reasonable prices.

A perfect pub, an experience for the tourist, it gives him an idea of ​​what pubs looked like in the past. The service was pleasant, the beer was tasty (we had IPU). I recommend it with all 10 fingers. I will definitely visit again when I come to London.

Great little pub. Good atmosphere, nice folks behind the bar. Couldn't have asked for more. Kind of a small spot, so not many places to sit, but many people were outside on the curb on the nice day.

A proper old fashioned pub. The bar was busy serving thirsty patrons many a cold beer. Staropramen please!!

wonderful pub. dull of atmosphere with a touch of the past

Like stepping back in time to a good old free house. Friendly faces, hand pulled beer and worn carpet. Perfect

A true old skool Eastend pub. Small bar, and very busy. The majority of people were standing outside chatting. Service was swift on a busy Thursday evening. It reminded me of my old local 'The Ferry House' on the Isle of Dogs' when growing up.

Really traditional London pub. Great beer, wonderful traditional atmosphere

Good for a quick beer or two 😁👍

Love this pub when walking down brick lane, really cozy.

Yup. This is the real deal. Surely the best, and cheapest, pub in East London (or at least "near East London, I've not been out drinking in Plaistow). Simply brilliant. Still simply brilliant.

Super kind bartenders and a fun dive bar vibe! Lots of folks drinking outside and a good time all around. Only thing is if you’re sensitive to smells it definitely smells like dive bar lol!

Superb old school London pub. Carpets, curtains, locals and salt beef sandwiches to die for. Nothing fake about the interior, it’s like all pubs were forty or fifty years ago. Great quality real ale, staff always friendly. A little gem, a stones throw from the city.

So I pulled in here late on a Saturday night. Bartenders were fighting. Crowd out front was underage and ready to box. Inside was punters and cool younger crowd. Had a great pint and talked to a guy on mushrooms. It's a proper boozer and a traditional place. Can't say enough great things about the hospitality.

Full of Character, good beer and banter..

Really friendly, good old fashioned pub with very reasonable prices, it's a bit tough for my neurospicey brain but once I settled in it was good, very vibrant atmosphere, no pretentions. Didn't have any food but I've heard it's good

A real local place with reasonable prices and real English pub beers

Unique pub in the heart of Bangaltown. Dated but full of character. Good if you fancy a drink on the pavement.

Great old pub. No frills and fancy gadgets. Just sensible priced beer just off Brick Lane. Yey to the old fashioned pub!

Very old school pub with a good drinks but strange atmosphere. The broken speakers playing tinny music was annoying and hard to ignore. Also a lady working there passive aggressively yelling "I'll get your glasses" to us as we left was really rude and uncalled for. We were polite and didn't leave a mess. Overall a pretty unwelcoming place.

Five years since last there, great to see that nothing has changed, simply love the atmosphere. Great service and beers.

Good Guinness but too many soap dodgers and mockneys for my liking. unacceptable. also there is a dead cat above the stove (!?)

Great old school pub in east London

Real old boozer with piano, Jupa and pork scratchings

Pub with live music. Great atmosphere, no tourists, we felt the atmosphere of relaxation of the English culture.

Another cracking few pints on London Pride…. And “cheap” for London. Fullers pubs need to pay a visit to learn what temperature to keep there beer

Fantastic pub ... great London Pride 😤

Proper old school East London Boozer with pints at great prices.

Fabulous traditional authentic local London pub. Very friendly staff - welcoming locals - great selection of ales and lagers too!
