About Old Ship
Real ales, a pool room, garden and large screen TVs in an old-school pub with weekend drag acts.
Old-fashioned unspoilt pub in a Georgian square, a stones throw from Limehouse station (BR and DLR). Ex-Watney, Magic Pub Co. Changed hands in 2012, now run by the former operator of Booty's E14, who reinstated real ale and the pub seems to be doing well. Small narrow interior. Quiz Weds. Open mic last Thurs monthly. Drag cabaret at the weekends. Filled rolls on the bar. Sports TV (often on). Pool. Darts. Pavement seating.

Great local pub. Quirky interior. Small stage for live acts. Good ale and a selection of filledcrolls, just the job. Great staff.

Great little pub. It is a fascinating mix of folk here, but a very welcoming atmosphere. The Guinness is good and the music was great. It seems they have a few events on here, including a quiz night and drag events, which look fun. Gents toilets needed a decent clean, but this pub does exactly what you need it to!
