I LOVE THE PINEAPPLE!!

I LOVE THE WALK UP LEVERTON STREET PASSED THE MULTI COLOURED HOUSES, I LOVE THE TRANSITION FROM HAVING A DRINK ON THE BENCHES OUTSIDE AND WATCHING LOCAL KIDS RIDE ROUND ON BIKES LIKE A DAVID MCKEE PICTURE BOOK, TO THE WARM WELCOME OF THE FRONT BAR WHERE THE LOCALS SIT AND LAUGH.

PERHAPS SNUGGLING UP IN ONE OF THE CORNERS OF THE BACK BAR WHERE YOU CAN PLAY TRADITIONAL GAMES? OR BRINGING ALL YOUR MATES ON A FRIDAY FOR A THAI BEFORE YOU GO OUT TO TOWN. CIGGIE IN THE GARDEN?

THIS PLACE HAS A SECTION FOR EVERYONE.

I'VE HEARD THAT THEY DO CHEESE PARTIES TOO.

THEY DO PIMMS WITH THE OPTION OF GINGER BEER OR LEMONADE AND THE BAR STAFF ARE FAB TOO.

THE BEST THING ABOUT IT IS THERE ARE PINEAPPLES EVERYWHERE.

LOVE IT!!!]]> Thu, 28 Aug 2008 23:25:13 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1n72x8d/the-pineapple/142fa7132135583 LOVEANDKATE 51.552695128899 -0.14075819555866 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1n72x8d/the-pineapple/1d2698

I like the pineapple, the atmosphere is great! the furnitutre is old and has real character, I like the bar staff here, but I have he agree the new Thai menu is no where near the old english menu... they made the best chicken and mushroom pie, the food and meat was always really fresh, now I am not that sure... reheated made earlier stuff.

The pub quiz is always really good fun and great for mates to come along to as the group can be as big as you want and easy for them to get back home! all in all a good local pub!]]> Sat, 29 Dec 2007 19:44:23 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1n72x8d/the-pineapple/1d26981032569279 ManKan 51.552695128899 -0.14075819555866 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1n72x8d/the-pineapple/1n85v7

This place is great! It's been redecorated so got a great little quaint feel with the fabulous wallpaper. It has lots of seating outside, and lots inside too! The local puppy was sleeping in front of the fire when I last visited there (very cute) which made it quite homely.

I had a few glasses of Leffe Blonde served with some of the great Thai food they do, also available takeway. We had the satay sticks, spring rolls, and prawn toast, while our friend had the red lamb curry. The starters came to £10 while the curry with rice was £6.00 - all very tasty and made our beer go down a treat!

I've read a few reviews on this place that has complained about the bar staff, however I find the lovely ladies to be really friendly! Maybe I just have manners..
Great for a quiet pint, they play good music but not too loud! Not the kind of place that I've seen get rowdy - perfect for a catch up with your friends.]]> Mon, 19 Nov 2007 15:32:04 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1n72x8d/the-pineapple/1n85v7656570631 MissBex 51.552695128899 -0.14075819555866 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1n72x8d/the-pineapple/1r34h8

They've succumbed. They've succumbed to the Thai menu, which totally sucks if you wandered in after some of their amazing sausage and mash.
They've still got the bar staff's iPods on, loads of comfy seats, people reading books over a glass of wine and two fires going in the winter though, so it still gets 4 stars. ]]> Tue, 02 Oct 2007 14:15:21 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1n72x8d/the-pineapple/1r34h8419961259 susiweaser 51.552695128899 -0.14075819555866 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1n72x8d/the-pineapple/1b0028

No, I don't mean that this is somehow a brand new approach to a pub. In fact, it's quite the contrary. I'm referring to The Pineapple's struggle to remain a pub. You see the building has been used as a pub since 1868 imagine that for a moment: you're sitting there drinking you beer, just like a similar guy (did women go to pubs for a pint with their mates back then?) did 138 years ago. When it was sold to developers, the local community went up in arms, lobbied, campaigned and managed to get the building listed, keeping their local safe from being turned into another block of flats. Power to the people my brothers and sisters. It's impressive what communities can achieve when bound by a common passion.
More of the history can be found here: http://www.thepineapplelondon.com/

So the place has a good background and I think that permeates the atmosphere. It's simple, relaxed and inviting. You can get Leffe on tap, which is always a bonus and the food is good judging from the pics on the wall you may even spot John Snow. The best thing about it is that it's 10 minutes from where I live. Tip: it makes a great combination with Lalibella, a fantastic Ethiopian restaurant 5 minutes away from it more of that on another review.
