The bar has outdoor area near canal , and the restaurant on top floor has a terrace . Drinks were nice, can't account for food. Seemed very popular on a Friday afternoon. Cocktails on average £9-11

Chris Chen

Skip the calamari . Meat platter and oysters were great. Steak for 2 was a good value . Dessert menu surprisingly good. Seasonal fruit tart is excellent as are the homemade ice creams and sorbets .

Joe Nixon

Trendy pub with lots of outdoor seating . The had good vegetarian options when they launched, but have since cut the number a bit. Upstairs is reserved but the rest is for walk-ins. Great canal views .

Dominic Kohan

Food is good, get a window seat to catch the views . If you get there early make sure you listen out for your name, as they are so busy in the evening on the weekend that they may give away your seat.

Ben

With all glass walls , fantastic views of the canal and area. We sat up stairs which I would recommend. Great food. Fantastic Irish coffee and espresso martini .

Christian Iachini

Pub on two levels with an open sitting space on the ground floor and on -1 (near the canal ). The upper space is more fancy , the lower one is more casual .

Louise Organ

Veggie food was great and the whole meal was really well priced and a good vibe. I'd go again.

David Thair

Provides an acceptable brunch alternative if Granger & Co, Caravan , Dishoom and Grain Store are all unavailable. The flatbreads might be the best.

Paul Thethi

Good ambience and great views - especially when the sun is shining. Recommend for after work drinks or a group eat out.

Guy Corbet

Lovely spot for summer drinking down by the canal side. Though not quite Venice, it gets closer than a lot of London

Isha Hartono

Brand new.. Really friendly staff who provide excellent food recommendations. The main area can be rather noisy . Upstairs much quieter but needs booking

Heather Rodriguez

Beautiful place, but the food is super average. Fried squid was nice.

O L

Great vibes on the balcony . Really good fish and chips

Kevin Huber

Great for a date. Especially in the summer when the canal is buzzing with activity

Joel Spence

Good food and great selection of drinks. Although some of the staff were a little rude and we had to wait quite a while for some of the food

Cole Kennedy

Bit of a clubby vibe. Can imagine it getting rather rowdy on a weekend night. But the space is very impressive and the beer was good.

Deborah Puiggali

Amazing views on Regent canal and good food

Rodanthi Damianaki

Nice place with view . Tasty food and good coffee . The service is not that good.

Conrad Greiner-Bechert

We saw a famous YouTube prankster here, service was quick, I didn’t try any of the beers . Looks lively though.

The goat cheese and the sweet potato salad was so yummy

Kornelija Maceviciute

Very trendy , nice to hangout with friends, have a few drinks.

Kurt Haa

Great view of the canal and cool place to have a drink.

Robin

The food and drink are quite mediocre. Best to skip this place and go somewhere up the road . The attached pic was pork belly and chips totalling £25. They didn't even bother to garnish it

Alison Roche

Recommend the venison pie ! Nice spot for when caravan is full!

Brad T

Great place to spend that rare sunny London day.

Try salmon with vegetables

Alistair

Fairly standard gastropub food, but a great light filled building on the Regents Canal

Maya Abdul-Latif

Good drinks, good bar food and nice setting!

Simon Cheadle

Great relaxed pub , with good views of the canal

Incapable or unwilling of veganising a menu item. No place for vegans yet.

Lovely views from upstairs. Yummy flatbreads .

Flatbreads and a cider does the trick. Service slow when busy.
