The Sun Inn, Bethnal Green

Went in here for the first time last week, seems like a decent little boozer to me.

Four real ales behind the bar, tried two and nicely kept. Staff were helpful and let my try a sample before I bought, other punters were nice folks, think I was probably the biggest alchie in sight.

I wish there were more pubs like this.

The Rake, London Bridge

Well, I'm sure this place might be great when it's quiet, but it's pointless to bother on a Friday night.

The tiny bar area was crowded out by boorish City suits, and the staff were too busy having a chinwag behind the bar to bother serving anyone even if you could get to the bar.

When the bar staff finally bothered to serve anyone, they served the people propping the bar up first, even though I'd been waiting without attention for far longer.

I gave up and went to the Market Porter, and advise you do the same. Friday nights at least, the staff just can't be arsed to cope with the chaos.
