Pride of Spitalfields (Free)

This pub is about a 45 second walk from the craft beer shop Kill the Cat, but the experiences couldn't be more different. There are five cask ales on, all decent beers but widely available, so this ain't a tickers' pub. It's cosy (crowded) but there's a reason: the beer is on point and cheap, they do reasonable and simple lunches, and they're as friendly as you're likely to find. My quick half of ESB was perfect. Take some time out, put your ticking notebook away, and remind yourself why you started this hobby in the first place.

This place feels locked in the 70's, dark and hazy red velvet interior. Selection was almost all macros so doesn't hold much interest for beer tickers. It's near a very trendy shopping street in East London which seems to be its biggest claim to fame.

Cozy little pub not far from the business district. Traditional British character with a fireplace and some old photos (plus a cat). The cask ale I tried was in a very good condition. The beer selection is not shockingly diverse, but you they still have 5 cask ales and 6 more taps. Nice place for sure.

A hint of old London just away from the financial hub, decent cask ale, if a bit unadventurous. Worth preserving.

Nice enough little London boozer, traditional and friendly and a typical old school English way. Nothing really to make it a ratebeer destination but one of the 5 casks did offer a tick for me. Pop in for the London atmosphere, not for ticks.

I liked the gloomy, dim, dark furniture vibe. I didn’t like the smell of urinal cake. OK cask selection - but nothing very adventurous was on when I was there.

Another great place ... A typical example of a British pub , this place shows that the range of beer is obviously important but not all ... The Pride serves 4 regular ales with brewers gold my favourite but the atmosphere and the people in there make this place special .. open till very late on Friday and Saturday ..revisited on sunday 17th nov .. my opinion about this place is the same , there is only a good news to say, they have Always a truman’s beer on tap so brewers gold , ESB,doom bar , london pride and a ttruma’s beer

Trad old boozer off Brick Lane. Used to pop in regularly before the change in licensing laws as you’d often have the curtains pulled shut at 22.45 and be in till midnight which was a novelty for me in London in the early 2000’s! Beers are always well kept, 4 or so on cask, always something from Crouch Vale when I visit. Small L-shaped single roomer but folks often spill out into the street of a summers evening. Definately worth a visit if in the area or on a Brick Lane curry run.

A lovely old-fashioned pub in "Bangla Town" Carpet on the floor, open fire and a sleepy cat, that is what I call real British pub ambiance! We came early to enjoy our last cask ales before our flight home. Crouch Vale Brewers Gold was not a bad choice for a worthy ending for our London beer trip. A digression about the cat; you can see the same(?) cat on page 88 in "Londons best pubs" by Peter Haydon. The cat is a regular! (Visited November 17th 2012)

Ok pub if you are nearby. Few customers and a cat listning to Cliff Richard when I worked myself through " the line".
