We went several times during our stay and had great conversations with others at the bar (Danny was awesome to talk to).

I enjoyed the John Smith Ale (see picture above)....this is a real London pub, not like those in the restaurants and hotels near the Excel Center.....also and equally important...the prices are very, very good.

The staff could be a little friendlier, it would benefit from some craft beers and the place needs a bit of TLC. It's a stunning building with some really wonderful features. The room at the back, which the toilets are off, has a really gorgeous glass ceiling, and there's some lovely stained glass around. This is one of the main West Ham United supporters pubs so definitely one to stay away from on match day (unless you're a West Ham supporter!). With West Ham moving to the Olympic Stadium next season, it will be interesting to see what happens to The Boleyn. It is offering membership which includes transport to the new stadium so perhaps it'll still be a football pub but I hope it means it will be given some attention so that is a good local for us folk nearby. They have started doing a monthly quiz and they also have a karaoke night every so often, so it seems they are trying to make it a pub for more than just football fans. I hope within the next year, this will be a great place to go out with friends. I'd also love it to start doing some good food too. Perhaps we'll have to watch this space.

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.

We went for a Sunday roast and it coincided with when they had a live jazz band playing. It's quite shabby chic, but really quite big. There's a room out the back which is more of a dining room but we stayed in the front bit as that's where the music was. It was busy but we got a table and people came and went so there was normally space for those arriving. The roast dinner was the best I've probably ever had out, certainly in London and at £12 each it wasn't bad at all. There was so much meat (we both had the lamb) and it was so tender and juicy. It had the largest, tastiest homemade Yorkshire pudding I've ever seen, crispy goose fat roast potatoes and perfectly cooked parsnip, carrots and cabbage. It had really delicious gravy too. The drinks were cheap and the jazz band were brilliant. When they weren't playing, there was a guy in the corner with decks playing LPs. There have been some comments on here from other reviewers about the toilets. The ladies were really clean and nicely decorated so may have been refurbished recently. My boyfriend went to the men's and said they weren't the best but not that bad so they may have had some work recently too. This pub is really handy for Forest Gate station and also Wanstead. We had a lovely walk around Wanstead Flats before going to the pub so there's lots to do if you travel to the area. We'll definitely be visiting a lot more.

I was pleasantly surprised by the modern clean lines and hip vibe inside this hotel restaurant/bar. I loved the use of color intermixed with fun decor. This is more reminiscent of a New York or Miami style property but muted nicely outside by the glass so it blends in with the existing skyline. The bar staff were very attentive but much to my dismay, although they say they serve food until midnite, the menu becomes very limited past 10pm ish. We tried a few different choices before we landed on the wings, one of the few things we could still get, and they were very good. A nice serving of 16 wings in a light bbq sauce. We asked for a side of dressing but apparently salad dressing is part of what you can't get after about 10pm ish. Anyway, after a long day of tennis at the 02, it was nice to get something to eat without having to venture out again. If in the area for a visit to the 02 again, I would stay here again and visit the bar. The location was great as it sits right on the DLR and although a bit outside the city, it was a quick tube ride to London Bridge and substantially less expensive.

Good bartenders and beer. 1 star taken off for the 12am last call time but otherwise great service.read more
