A down to earth old school pub which are a dying breed and that is the problem it was empty apart from one bloke at the bar, I've been here a couple of times and it has only had a few in there each time I've visited. The Artful Dodger gets good reviews for being a salt of the earth pub and not losing it's traditional East End charm but it can't survive in the long term if it continues with hardly any customers. I love an old school boozer and give me one over a gastropub any day of the week but pubs like The Artful Dodger need to try harder and attract the passing trade and keep any new…

What an amazing pub. I just stumbled in after a long flight and even after walking the whole of London this was my favorite place to be. Super welcoming, great crowd, fantastic owners. They have dart leagues a few times a week and a sweet jukebox. I’ll be back! Did I mention they pour a spectacular drink as well!

Great little pub, brilliant and friendly girl behind the bar and a warm welcome from the regulars. Has a nice beer garden and the vibe is fun and chilled.

Decent little pub with big windows to watch the world (and DLR trains) go by. Artwork needs a bit of attention but it does the job. Has a pool table.

No nonsense old skool pub. On my first visit yesterday chatted to a range of friendly people and manages to get in a few games of pool. Good management and staff. Will be back.
