Andrea CampiMay 10, 2017If there's a better pub around the area I haven't found it. It's a Young's pub so you get the usual, but the treat is really sitting outside (heaters provided) by the river and people watch- Arianna PApril 8, 2012Super close to the Tate Modern and just on the river, it's a lovely post-Art drink spot. They also have boxes of blankets to keep you warm outside! Cute.
Large and very busy pub by the river. Lovely to sit outside though and admire St Pauls and the London skyline
Katya RyabovaOctober 14, 2015Can't beat the views, awesome service and delicious food! Try barley risotto if it's on offer and don't forget raspberry mess for dessert!
Samuele VerziFebruary 17, 2018I little chaotic the venue but the food was great! Ideal before or after a visit to Tate Museum! Recommended!
Anastasia BorodinaFebruary 5, 2014Pure joy, lovely staff, good beer, great food! (Fisherman platter is a banger, but they have gone a little off with the bangers recently, so find out what they are before ordering)
AycanFebruary 11, 2019Amazing view, good prices. For those who like less hoppy beers can try neck oil (terrible name, awesome beer:))
Dennis SpJuly 24, 2015Great location on the river, with a beautiful large terrace. Gets quite busy on sunny days after work. Make sure to stock on drinks before it gets too crowded!
Richard GeorgeJanuary 21, 2018Despite the name, this is a Young's pub, not Founders, so expect standard brews not craft beer. However, it's a decent pub with good food and a great view to enjoy while you're dining.
Carlos DuarteApril 21, 2018A bar on the banks of the River Thames, with incredible views to various sights. The price, service and ambience within the standard London standard.- Stef MattanaApril 6, 2017Nice place, I like it. If you have food allergies, double check with the staff. ie I didn't know the steak&ale pie has nuts in it! 😱
Rachel IvyJuly 29, 2015Great place to hang in the sun, outdoor seating with a great view of the rivers, city, and bridge. Food didn't blow me away but was good enough.
KostasMay 25, 2019Great location with a nice view and decent beers. Don't expect to find a seat, but it's a very nice place to have a drink.
Tony EbikemeJuly 7, 2013Grab a table by the window. One of the best views in London. Great place to hang in the summer.
Dilek UnarSeptember 2, 2014Great atmosphere next to the lake. If it is warm, you can sit outside and enjoy your drink while watching the lake and bridge.
Filled with tourists at peak times, get there at 12:30 to guarantee a table for lunch. Large outside area for when the sun shines.
Pascal LooseAugust 25, 2015Bar with a good selection of drinks and a fantastic outdoor view. You can take your drinks outside and sit by the river.
Cheen The CuriousAugust 3, 2017Fish & chips. Battered fish was a tad plain. Green pea mash had a nice minty aftertaste
Jesus Bracho NavarroNovember 15, 2014Amazing Fish and Chips, do it so with a cold Guinness you won't regret it.
Tim ClarkAugust 7, 2014Great during the summer, by the river and great London beers. But it's by the river which makes it really busy.
Julia KateAugust 11, 2015Fantastic place to soak up sun & views. Friendly staff, lively atmosphere. Tasty snacks & decently priced pitchers.
John Lord of AthensAugust 27, 2018Beautiful views of all landmark buildings opposite the Thames (St Paul's, walkie talkie, etc)- Cheen The CuriousAugust 3, 2017Theirs grilled sea bass fillet was a healthy option. Served on a bed of barley
nice pub alongside the thames. only problem: you need to be very patient to order your drink
Laila PhillipsJune 1, 2013The salt beef and red slaw bap is fantastic. Healthy portions for a good price! Beautiful view as well.
YukariAugust 2, 2018Just found a lovely brewery pub alongside Thems... nice having a ale in sunshine at a terrace with view✨
Ecenur DoganDecember 12, 2015Very lovely pub with beautiful thames view. Try Young's special, it's a very nice ale!😊
Mary AnnSeptember 21, 2013Smack in the middle of tourist town, but the view is great and the beer selection is surprisingly excellent.
Affordable pub with good food and service amidst tourist central. What an accomplishment!
Patrick StegmannSeptember 24, 2013Good eat near Tate Modern. Prices are normal for the location, the food is good and more than enough!
Although the pub isn't to close to my home however the staff specially Brazilian was so very nice and the food really tasty.
- 🔹Maria L🔹March 18, 2013Enjoy the amazing view of river thames & st pauls cathedral over dinner or coffee!!
One of the most favorite places in London!! Amazing view, friendly atmosphere!! Try Pimms!!
MilenaOctober 21, 2017Nice setting on river bank, poor quality of food thought.. grab a drink here and enjoy the view but skip the food!
Ana Flávia BoniniFebruary 9, 2015The toasted baguette with cornish brie, bacon and cranberry is delicious!
Tom GNovember 3, 2016Nice view but extremely overpriced, poor quality food. The pies are decent but the burgers contain low quality ingredients for a hefty price tag
Brooke LouiseDecember 10, 2019Great views, often rammed due to location but go at odd times and is quite pleasant.
JoshuaMarch 16, 2014A lovely view of the Thames and St Paul's. The Sweet Chilli crisps are beautiful.
John BoothJuly 13, 2015Good outdoor space to enjoy the Thames views, the food and Beer choice doesn't live up to the view however.
James SouthornAugust 7, 2014Good views over the river, decent Sunday lunch and a nice selection of beer!
Pete FraserJuly 26, 2012Barman didn't charge me for a lime & soda (which was all I was having). Way above and beyond - excellent!- AlexisFebruary 20, 2015The new signs outside look great and fit in well with the Tate Modern branding
Guven PekcetinAugust 11, 2012Great place to chill out in a sunny London day in its terrace with an outstanding view.- Outdoor seating next to the Thames. If it is sunny and tourist season book a table
