Joiners Arms, Shoreditchback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Obnoxious people, horrible place, horrible night, hopefully wont go back. I've never been in a room ful of more pretentious, rude and obnoxious people who have an air of self-importance. Gay men, yeah, with their squeeky clean straight fag hags who push you about coz they think they are so fabulous. Seriously don't go here unless you are a complete luvvie who thinks you are "real" just coz you are wearing a second hand checked shirt with your Armani bag and gucci trainers or pink hair. On a Saturday night expect to spend the whole night being pushed about, queing up either for the toilet or bar and expect everyone to push in front of you and "pretend" they didn't see you coz they are oh so more important than you.

I can remember when this place was good, pre the trendies moving in. You could score proper gak and e here, now its full of fag hags, Hoxton heads and the type that give a proper dive a bad name. Wannabes more given to looking cool than actually buying a drink. Bar staff have changed for the worst as well- east end rent instead of people who can actually pour a drink.

Its certainly unpretentious. But dont bother if you are looking for real ale - either there is none or it is so badly kept you wont want to drink it. Or somewhere to sit.
The music is so loud you wont want to talk to any of the other customers either.

Dirty grubby pub, overpriced beer, and frankly vile. Typical gay pub squeezing the pink pound. Was also the set for a dredfull naff gay porno getting frisky on the pool table.

Lively Gay pub with a friendly atmosphere
