If there's a better pub around the area I haven't found it. It's a Young's pub so you get the usual, but the treat is really sitting outside (heaters provided) by the river and people watch

Arianna P

Super close to the Tate Modern and just on the river , it's a lovely post-Art drink spot . They also have boxes of blankets to keep you warm outside! Cute .

Alastair Hilton

Large and very busy pub by the river . Lovely to sit outside though and admire St Pauls and the London skyline

Katya Ryabova

Can't beat the views , awesome service and delicious food! Try barley risotto if it's on offer and don't forget raspberry mess for dessert !

eric bornemann

Fine modern pub with a great view of the river from outside if you can grab a table. Chicken and ham pie is good as is the fish and chips . Go right before noon to get a table.

Dennis Sp

Great location on the river , with a beautiful large terrace . Gets quite busy on sunny days after work. Make sure to stock on drinks before it gets too crowded !

Samuele Verzi

I little chaotic the venue but the food was great! Ideal before or after a visit to Tate Museum ! Recommended!

Aycan

Amazing view , good prices. For those who like less hoppy beers can try neck oil (terrible name, awesome beer :))

Carlos Duarte

A bar on the banks of the River Thames , with incredible views to various sights. The price, service and ambience within the standard London standard.

Richard George

Despite the name, this is a Young's pub , not Founders, so expect standard brews not craft beer . However, it's a decent pub with good food and a great view to enjoy while you're dining.

Anastasia Borodina

Pure joy, lovely staff , good beer , great food! (Fisherman platter is a banger , but they have gone a little off with the bangers recently, so find out what they are before ordering)

Dilek Unar

Great atmosphere next to the lake . If it is warm, you can sit outside and enjoy your drink while watching the lake and bridge .

Kostas

Great location with a nice view and decent beers . Don't expect to find a seat, but it's a very nice place to have a drink.

Tim Clark

Great during the summer, by the river and great London beers . But it's by the river which makes it really busy.

megan

The best place to drink rose and watch the Thames traffic go by on a sunny day...

Chris Rees

Filled with tourists at peak times, get there at 12:30 to guarantee a table for lunch . Large outside area for when the sun shines.

Tony Ebikeme

Grab a table by the window. One of the best views in London. Great place to hang in the summer.

Cheen The Curious

Fish & chips . Battered fish was a tad plain. Green pea mash had a nice minty aftertaste

Julia Kate

Fantastic place to soak up sun & views . Friendly staff , lively atmosphere . Tasty snacks & decently priced pitchers .

Rachel Ivy

Great place to hang in the sun, outdoor seating with a great view of the rivers , city , and bridge . Food didn't blow me away but was good enough.

Stef Mattana

Nice place, I like it. If you have food allergies, double check with the staff . ie I didn't know the steak&ale pie has nuts in it! ????

Cheen The Curious

Theirs grilled sea bass fillet was a healthy option . Served on a bed of barley

Jesus Bracho Navarro

Amazing Fish and Chips , do it so with a cold Guinness you won't regret it.

Pascal Loose

Bar with a good selection of drinks and a fantastic outdoor view . You can take your drinks outside and sit by the river .

????Maria L????

Enjoy the amazing view of river thames & st pauls cathedral over dinner or coffee !!

Ecenur Dogan

Very lovely pub with beautiful thames view . Try Young's special, it's a very nice ale !????

Christoph Bornschein

Great location for afterword beer right at River Thames

John Lord of Athens

Beautiful views of all landmark buildings opposite the Thames (St Paul's, walkie talkie, etc)

Donny Douchebag

In the 80s this pub was used in an episode of Hart to Hart when Jonathan first meets Jennifer ('Two Harts Are Better Than One', S05E01). And let me tell you - it was muyder.

Laila Phillips

The salt beef and red slaw bap is fantastic. Healthy portions for a good price! Beautiful view as well .

Patrick Stegmann

Good eat near Tate Modern . Prices are normal for the location, the food is good and more than enough!

Chris Rees

Outdoor seating next to the Thames. If it is sunny and tourist season book a table

Zach Stockwell

Affordable pub with good food and service amidst tourist central. What an accomplishment!

Alexis

The new signs outside look great and fit in well with the Tate Modern branding

Vardges Hoveyan

One of the most favorite places in London!! Amazing view , friendly atmosphere !! Try Pimms!!

Mary Ann

Smack in the middle of tourist town , but the view is great and the beer selection is surprisingly excellent.

James Southorn

Good views over the river , decent Sunday lunch and a nice selection of beer !

Gloverboy

The Founders Arms has stunning views over St Pauls and the City of London. And a decent Steak and Mushroom in Young's Ale pie at £10.95.

Yukari

Just found a lovely brewery pub alongside Thems... nice having a ale in sunshine at a terrace with view ✨

Val Ioannou

Great pub with a lovely view !! Food is good aswell

Joshua

A lovely view of the Thames and St Paul's. The Sweet Chilli crisps are beautiful.

Ellen Marinho

Although the pub isn't to close to my home however the staff specially Brazilian was so very nice and the food really tasty.

Johanne Reydel

nice pub alongside the thames. only problem: you need to be very patient to order your drink

John Booth

Good outdoor space to enjoy the Thames views , the food and Beer choice doesn't live up to the view however.

Kieran Doyle

Nice views of the Thames. Great for a pint and the bar food is decent too

Ed Woodcock

It's pretty pricey , but you can't go wrong with a Founders All Day IPA

Ricardo Yeowart

Always busy, decent pub grub. Glorious in the sun. Great location to meet

Richard Butlin

Great views , and when it's chilly you can have a blanket for the outdoor seating

Tom G

Nice view but extremely overpriced, poor quality food. The pies are decent but the burgers contain low quality ingredients for a hefty price tag

Ana Flávia Bonini

The toasted baguette with cornish brie , bacon and cranberry is delicious!
