I have been going to this pub for years, and I still return several times a year. Especially in the summer, when you have been at work all day, there really is nothing like meeting freinds here, sitting on the wall outside, looking across the Thames, enjoying a cold Gin & Tonic, or a delicious real ale.
The drinks are reasonably priced, and they have a great range of real ales, including some often hard to find in London. The food offering is pretty standard pub fare but is of good quality (their club sandwich is pretty darn tasty).
This isn't a pretensious riverside pub, it has a great mix of locals and tourists that make for an almost unique atmosphere. The view of the Thames is stunning, looking across to Canary Wharf and The O2 (the venue previously known as the Millenium Dome)and is an especially good place to watch the sun go down.
In the winter, sit in front of the fire or upstairs in the big bay window and watch he grey skys across the river.
It is a little out of the way, but a leisurely stroll along the river from Greenwich will bring you here in about 15 minutes.
My only gripe is that if you sit outside you are given plastic glasses - but I suspect this is a dictat from the local authority.
I love this place especially in the summer (haven't been in the winter yet!).
After a hard days work there's nothing better than a refreshing G&T on a summers evening sitting besides the river and this pub is the place to do it.
The food isn't bad either - I think I had the club sandwich, which was very nice and reasonable prices, other people I was with had fish and chips and also enjoyed their meal.
Just a short walk from the main market in Greenwich and probably not as touristy as other pubs in the area I would recommend the 5-minute walk it takes to get here.
