The Castle

“Good atmosphere, great drink selection, friendly people.”

Wish we found this pub earlier in our vacation. East London is awesome to stay in as a foreign tourist, and this place epitomizes why that is true. Staff, vibe, and pours are on point...and not a single annoying tourist (like us) to be seen. Visiting London? Stay in Aldgate, Shoreditch, or Whitechapel....and make the this place your go-to, after-dark pub.

I don’t want this to be a bad review per se because I do like this pub, but I had a weird interaction here on 28/3. I met a friend after work, got to the pub at around 1am, and I ordered a double vodka coke with a male bartender whilst I waited for my friend. When my friend got here, I bought him a pint of cider. All good. My friend then went up to the bar to buy us another round maybe an hour or so later, and he spoke to a female bartender with an American accent who asked if the double vodka was for me, to which he said yes, and she refused to serve me because she thought I was intoxicated.

This pub is local to work and love it for its quirky atmosphere and crowd. Have only been early evening and mid-week when the vibe is chilled and relaxed. The bar staff are pleasant though the tall barman with the ginger beard is a great character. Prices are good for the area and the semi circular nature of the bar means you can see out onto the trendy passerby. The back room is more intimate and interesting. Was told there is a late night club below on certain nights and occasional gigs and comedy nights in the upstairs room. I checked them out and look like very eclectic and small spaces s

Hugo crushed it!! He poured my Guinness with a four leaf clover in the foam and was super accommodating. Great pub!
