Real ales, a pool room, garden and large screen TVs in an old-school pub with weekend drag acts.

A tiny little pub, which is both your nearest LGBT+ venue, as well as a traditional east-end boozer for the locals. Although it says gastropub, I wouldn't go expecting anything more to eat than pork scratchings :) It has been cash only at times behind the bar too. Does a quiz night in the week, and some "eclectic" drag performances at the weekend. After last orders, head to the White Swan/BJ's round the corner afterwards, which is a cheap afterhours LGBT+ friendly venue.

This old ship just had a refit and is looking even more shipshape than normal. It's a favourite East End pub, beloved of everyone from suits to scoundrels to those visiting for the Sunday night drag-act cabaret. A more ecumenical pub you won't find anywhere. A friendly welcome greets regulars and newcomers alike. It's a pub of three halves (thirds, surely? - ed). The buzzing front bar is where the main action is. A smaller secondary room offers a more intimate drink. Finally, at the back, there's a games room with a pool table. A straightforward selection of food and drink (including well-kept IPA) can be gained from the bar.
