Many pubs in the Spitalfields area are reinventing themselves as "Bohemian" bars with crappy furniture, louder than usual music, candles, foreign sounding menus, Smirnoff Ice and all that. Thankfully, this pub has stuck to its Guns and presents itself as that increasingly hard to find venue - the traditional boozer. It's a regulars' pub, with blokes (mostly) from the offices nearby being ably catered for with decent beer - Broadside, Bombardier, IPA and Deuchars on the hand pumps - food and service with the occasional sporting event on the telly. The upstairs restaurant seems to do a roaring trade at lunchtimes - and the Masons used to meet here, which makes the place all the more interesting.
