The Drummonds Bar, Canary Wharf

Decided to try out this pub for the second time as its one of the few about Canary Wharf with 3 pool tables. Cheap pints and terrible service. The first time we tried this pub was to watch a football game on the big screen. It was 20 deep at the bar with almost nowhere to stand, which in itself is no big problem, but there were 2 bar staff on for that night with one serving food. We left at half time after trying for 20 mins to get served at the bar.
Our second trip to this pub ended at 10:15pm, not because we wanted to leave but the 'owner / bar man' decided to close! We thought he was joking but no. 10:15 all out! He trufed about 20 people out! I couldnt believe it as I've never seen ths before. I'll never go back to this pub, there are plenty of better, friendlier, safer pubs aroung Canary Wharf that dont close whne the bar man feels like it. I agree with kiwi13's comment but at least he got to stay till 10:45!! If its under new management then IO'm glad I wasnt in it when the old management was running it! AVOID!!!
