The Water Poet

Great selection of beers and home-cooked food at decent prices. Always busy - so a buzz about the place, even on a wet Monday afternoon! Separate dining area, pool table and an outdoor space. Really good pub if you’re looking for somewhere in the Liverpool Street / Shoreditch area. Used this place once as a base for a (hobbyist) model photoshoot on a quiet Saturday afternoon - snacks, a drink and somewhere for the model to change - all staff were interested and supportive! EDIT: Now permanently closed - although Google Maps currently doesn’t recognise my edit!

Oh man, this was one amazing roast, its a shame the pub is about to be shut down because of some stupid development. The pub has a genuine ambiance involving live sports, draught beer and good music. There is a separate room for people who want to have a roast and they make sure it is worthwhile. My lamb was amazing, I highly recommend

Visited the Water Poet for what's probably going to be the last time a couple weeks ago (as its closing down). The beer garden was I full flow and everyone was having a good time. I had a couple snacks from the menu which were good. The bar seems to have an endless selection of beers. Worth a visit before it closes!

Large, spacious pub with a decent range of beers and other drinks. Includes a great outside area - partially covered (lots of lovely fairy lights). Lovely atmosphere inside and out. Also it may or may not be a regular feature but the City Comedy club night they are currently hosting in the downstairs area is brilliant.
