The Approach Tavern – Chill Vibes and Solid Drinks Had a great evening catching up with friends at The Approach Tavern. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming — a proper East London pub with character. There’s a nice mix of locals, and the space feels both social and laid-back. Drinks were solid, with a good selection of beers and cocktails. We didn’t try the food this time, but the menu looked tempting enough for a return visit. Staff were friendly and kept things flowing without fuss. If you're after a casual spot to unwind with good company and a pint in hand, The Approach Tavern hits the mark.

A great traditional pub that shows sports, has a weekly quiz and has great food. The outside space is great in the summer. Independent owned and close to Victoria Park. Off the beaten track so there’s rarely any trouble. A great selection of beers and a hand written menu. Classic east London boozer. Love it!

Standard pub, friendly staff. I had the chicken caeser salad which was ok.
