The Cock Tavern, Hackney
21 May 2013
Not entirely sure the staff know how to fully clean pipes etc as both myself and my girlfriend experienced upset stomachs soon after visiting last night.
The place smelt and was infested by those minute flies; a sure sign the beer (ludicrous variety) isn't shifting at a quick tempo. Had two pints each with a lingering cleaning fluid flavour to them. Tried to convince the barman that this was the case but was told fairly bluntly that the pints were fine. If fine is sitting at your desk with a headache from hell and bowel problems then count me out!

Just opened, Keen & Knowledgeable staff. Seven Hand pulled ales, (and room for more) about eight more craft beers on post taps, three draught perries and four draught ciders. Four types of Pork Pie made in-house, no Music, no TV, no vending machines, but plenty of atmosphere.
Fantastic pub in which to think, drink chat and be sociable.
