😠 The food is so overpriced. We looked at the menu and after a couple of minutes we decided it was a rip off, so we left. As we got up to leave, the manager who was sitting at the bar got up from his seat and intentionally bumped into me because we didn't order. People often mention good, staff, friendly, great, area, upstairs,

    A very traditional East end pub on the corner of Alie street. Gentle and friendly with a compact range of keg beers. Also a couple of casks for the real ale enthusiasts (only one on today, possibly called 1810 or Black Horse) lovely people, great service and a good pint. Pop down for a beer. Have fun.

    Great pub in Whitechapel area. Staff is very friendly and they always pay sports on the big screen. Darts and extra seating upstairs are great as well. Wonderful place to watch a match and have a pint or three

    Great place to great a drink and they do a brilliant pint of Guinness. Some nice pizzas too if looking for an after work drink and food this is a good spot. There often a darts club on Thursdays.

    Very good food and service. They’ve got a new menu now and chef I think, which is probably why they’ve gotten so much better

    A nice pub that wasn't crowded because it's not exactly in the city center. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly.

    Really nice pub with good vibes. Good selection of food & drink. Shepard's pie was okay, nothing special. Stick with pizza's, seems what they are known for. Cider, Aspall cider was very good, easy to drink with perfect carbonation. Seems really popular with the locals, having a good crowd on a Wednesday night. Swing by if you're in the area.

    We were in town on vacation and were struggling to find a place that was open after 10pm on a saturday night in the area. My husband and I love playing darts back home so we googled "pubs with darts" and this one came up nearby so we decided to check it out. Sadly we were told we couldn't play darts when we got there but we were welcome to go upstairs and look around. We had a beer, but didn't really care for the vibe in there so we left and went to another pub nearby.

    Stopped in for some pub food and beer. They have there own cask ale and other beers on tap. Ordered pizza that was very good and Shepherd Pie which was good. After eating went to the upstairs terrace which has an inside and outside area. Enjoyed the rest of the evening there.

    Great little pub with very friendly staff. I was working away for a few days last week and used this pub each night. Very well run and I'll definitely return when next in the area. Thanks for looking after me

    A Culinary Gem in London - Unforgettable Experience! I recently had the extraordinary pleasure of dining at The Black Horse, and it was an experience I won't soon forget. The highlight of my visit was the gourmet pub cuisine, which was nothing short of spectacular. A special shoutout to Elouan, whose hospitality and recommendations made my visit truly unforgettable. Acting on his suggestion, I tried the homemade burger, and it was a revelation - a perfect blend of delicious flavors, made with genuine love and care. It wasn't just the food that made my visit special; it was the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by Elouan, the team, and the regulars that made the experience fun, exciting, and utterly charming. For anyone in London looking for a place to enjoy excellent pub dining, play some darts, and have a fantastic time, The Black Horse on Leman Street is the place to go. Thank you, Elouan and everyone at The Black Horse, for making my visit so memorable!

    Amazing pub with great cocktails, I highly recommend the passion fruit one. The bar staff treat you like family and make you feel so welcome. What a lovely place to stop for drinks!

    Decent prices, shepherd's pie was pretty good. A solid pub that is a little quieter than many of the surrounding spots.

    Every time I visit London a night in this pub is a must! Great music, super helpful and friendly staff. Darts upstairs, just a good vibe all around. Food is good pizzas and hamburger are tasty. A good English pub!

    Friendly multitasking and smiling french bartender/weiter. Not much selection of drinks, but the food and the atmosphere were nice. A bit pricy, though.

  • 5/5 Jonathan G. 1 year ago on Google
    Actually a really nice pub. Friendly staff, not too pricy drinks (£25 for 4) somewhere we will head back to when we are this way again.

  • 5/5 Gernot H. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice British Pub. We didn't have neither lunch or dinner but only drinks before we went back to the hotel for sleeping. Warm atmosphere and good service from two gentle guys. I have heard they make good pizza. The next time staying in Aldgate I'll try.
