The Hare, Bethnal Green

Absolutely love this pub. While all the other pubs in the area have become trendy and are full of hipsters this retains a sprinkle of the old traditional Bethnal Green and is a pleasure to visit.

Full of old school local people who don't mind new faces, fellas playing pool and friendly staff makes this a must visit if in the area. Very decent pint of Guinness too.

The Scolt Head, Islington

Went here on Wednesday and although there were customers the place had no buzz and felt very cold. I've been twice before and really enjoyed it but there seemed to be no soul on this visit.

The two blokes working the bar were both incredibly surly and I haven't received service that poor in a long time. It appeared that punters were an inconvenience to them and they'd rather be chatting to their mates.

It's a lovely area and there are quite a few nice pubs here but I wouldn't return after this last experience.

The Golden Fleece, Manor Park

Nicely isolated but well worth a visit. I found the pub and garden a little grubby but the welcome was warm and there was a decent mix of football playing lads, family's, old boys and couples. It was incredibly busy on the Saturday lunchtime I visited and we found it hard to get a seat but will definitely return. Probably in the week.
