another one bites the dust

A ghostly pub in it's feel and appearance.all by itself here along the Highway.
Within it was quiet and clean. And the girl behind the bar was pleasant enough.
The only Bitter on service was London Pride at �3, the Young's was off I was told.
To be truthful, my main reason for going into the place was to use the toilet and then have a ten minute sit down and rest from the freezing sleet falling outside. On tasting it, I found it to be vinegar.
It's apart of the world that I can honestly say that I shall never ever venture to by desire or accident. And looking at the overwhelming presence in the neighbourhood of 3rd worlders doing their level best to create a 3rd world level to this part of London; it's a wasteland to avoid.

Basic pub with no redeeming features. Wasn't really worth the trip to this part of the world.

This is a pretty straightforward and ordinary little one-room corner pub. Pride and Young�s bitter on � the Pride didn�t look or taste anything like Pride; more like Deuchars IPA but tasted OK though. It is something of a green room, with green walls, green ceiling, and green upholstered furniture. No free drinks though! There was some pop music being played, there were a couple of TVs but neither were on. This seemed to be a decent enough pub without being anything special that is OK for a pint if you�re passing, but I won�t go out of my way to visit again.

A horrible place, with a long history of bad owners. The previous lot closed all the time to have domestics and later did a runner and the current pair are, well, you can see where the BNP revival is coming from. The pair of them are generally pissed, which goes some way to explain the poor service you get there. A dive to be avoided. Go to the Caxton a minute down the highway -- it's bad but a far, far nicer drinking environment.

As part of the previously mentioned Aussie contingent I love the rose! It is one of the best locals I have found anywhere in the world! Well kept beer, a wide range of spirts, friendly staff and clientele, what more could you ask for? Oh and the food is pretty damn good as well!

On the contrary to the other review. The Rose is a great little pub. Lacks in real ale, though the two bitters on tap are always kept well and fresh. It is the only place to drink around this area and, unlike most things in this area, is open on Saturdays. Very friendly bar staff. Clientelle consist of Reporters and people who work at News International, regulars proping up the bar and a small contingent of Aussies. Does good standard pub food at lunch times. Packed on Thursday and Friday lunch times.

This pub used to have a nice central bar island affair but it was ripped out a few years ago and replaced with some carpet that my dear ol' Nan had in the mid 70's. You can get an OK Youngs in here but generally it's pretty bleak. VERY busy road on the door step. However there is a large terrace and the back which is pretty reasonable on a summers day. You'd only ever go here if you work on Wapping lane or live in Shadwell.
