But then, you turned up and I was happy again! The Print House is a very nice pub/bar/restaurant by the canal in Stratford High Street. It has this big open outside area with wooden benches and tables, barbecue and mojito bar during the summer and a ping-pong table! Inside is cosy and welcoming. Wooden walls, some sofas here and there, high tables and a dining area with waiter service. The food is good enough to justify the price, which is average with East London places and way much better than the food you find in other Stratford pubs; and the drinks are ok, Not a big selection of beers, but still they have a few to choose from. They also do ciders, wine and cocktails

Yum! My husband and I came here for dinner tonight as our first stop in London. After spending all…read moreday traveling, we were thrilled with the drink selection. The Merlot was delicious! We ordered onion rings to start, the breading on them was amazing! It was light and crispy as opposed to being heavy and greasy like a lot of onion rings. I also loved the curry ketchup that came with them. I'm not generally a curry fan, but it definitely worked with this dish. My husband got fish and chips. The fish was perfectly fried and the tarter sauce was obviously house made because it tasted very fresh and lemony. The chips were fine, but unremarkable in my opinion. For my meal, I ordered pumpkin walnut gnocchi. It was delicious! Just enough pumpkin without being overpowering. There was quite a bit of kale (I think it was kale, the menu didn't say) that came with the dish. It was very good, but probably could have been dialed back a little. The service was friendly and prompt. Definitely a great way to start our London vacation!

Whilst Scenario in Dalston is focused on console gaming (Wii U, SNES and others), Secret Weapon are focusing on PC gaming similar to Meltdown and as such have several PCs for people to try out. The drinks on tap are a bit more like a typical pub fare in that there is Carling, Guinness and Budvar (Czech) and several others; but their bottle and can range is more vibrant from several breweries such as Flying Dog and Monteiths, In addition they have the same gaming cocktails that their Dalston bar are known for so it adds to the gaming vibe. The pub itself is largely intact from it's previous form in that it has kept more of the old school decor around. It has only one floor, but there is a beer garden out the back so you can get some fresh air in between gaming or watching some people play games.

The best beer bar I've been to London. Probably at least in part because they have a fair amount of…read morebeer from outside the UK, but they also have a decent selection of UK beer too. Their crown-jewel is probably all the Belgian lambics they have, mostly in bottles, but some on tap. The actual place is a bit divey, but not too bad. The biggest thing was that it was totally packed on a Sunday afternoon when we came and tried to find a seat. We wound up sitting outside even though it was a bit chilly and we were directly downwind from some smokers. Things eventually cleared out and my wife and I found a table inside. They apologized for it, but they only served beer in plastic when we started drinking even when we bought over £50 bottles of rare Beligan lambic. That said, they have the goods. They had a great little food truck with good burgers and they have the beer. I started with a Tilquin cherry lambic that was on tap and I'd never had before that was spectacular while my wife had an Other Half IPA which we love in the states, but is harder to find in the UK. We then moved on to 3F wine-lambic hybrids and a spectacular Saison from Mills Brewing. We'll definitely be back.

There's a bar with a rotating selection of taps, and cases with can upon can and bottle upon bottle of beer. There are also beer snacks, and a food cart outside. I've been countless times and always come away with a special bottle or glass of something tasty. It's a pretty epic beer selection. Sours, stouts, lambics, IPAs, DIPAs, wheat beers, fruit beers, porters, milds, you name it. From all around Europe and the US. Prices range from totally affordable to paycheck burning. But if you buy one of the £45 bottles of bourbon barrel aged imperial stout brewed with peanuts and Canadian maple syrup and oats and coffee and cacao nibs all sealed in wax, you can be sure it'll be worth it. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Ask for tasters before deciding at the bar. If you work locally, you're eligible for a small discount upon paying. Ambience is usually chill across the inner and outside tables. Sometimes it gets totally slammed and loud and there's nowhere to sit so be ware. Not a beer drinker? No problem. The place also offers wine, boozy smoothies, and liquor. And of course, jugs of help-yourself water situated atop empty barrels in the main space. Stay hydrated, folks! But most importantly, stay sudsy!

They serve a variety of food, big lunches/dinners and also snacks and platters. The food is of great quality, never heard anyone complain about the food. Drink prices are good, much like a weatherspoon pub. The pub doesn't play any music but is well decorated and always clean!! There are plenty of tables and a couple of booths for larger groups - great place to talk with friends. The only bad thing about this pub is that the toilets (ladies anyway) are through a door at the back and up some stairs. This can sometimes be a little tricky when you've had a few too many :-p

The one thing that sets it apart, however, is the fact that it is owned by Sir Ian McKellen. As such you can see the staff he used as Gandalf mounted behind the main bar. So not only do you get good beer and food, but you get to see a movie prop that I think is pretty cool. The staff here is also very kind and super cool to talk to. One final thing I liked about this pub is the location. It's far enough removed from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas to feel somewhat more cozy. Finally, the River views are pretty nice as well!
