Rusty Bike Pub Mile End - (Near Tower Hamlets, South East)

5 /5 shai zach: A great combination of a good pub and excellent Thai food. There are lots of interesting beers on draft and the service is really quick and efficient. The Thai food is extremely good. We absolutely loved the Jantaburi pad Thai it was full of plump perfectly cooked prawns and lots of interesting flavors and textures, its a brilliant dish. We also enjoyed the lamb maasaman curry and red curry sirloin. Excellent food, great pub, lots of space inside and out, highly recommended

1 /5 Fifi Ralebala: Absolutely awful experience. The service is atrocious and the food is a joke. What they serve is not Thai food by any stretch of the imagination. It tastes like frozen, supermarket food reheated and passed off as “authentic.” Claiming this is real Thai cuisine is straight-up misleading. When I realized the food was bad and asked to change my starters—after taking one bite of a single wing—I was flatly refused because “I already bought it.” No effort to help, no care, no basic customer service. Just a rigid, dismissive attitude that made it very clear they don’t value their customers at all. Between the low-quality food, the dishonesty about authenticity, and the complete lack of customer care, this place is not worth your time or money. Save yourself the disappointment and go literally anywhere else.

5 /5 Dai Tree: A great East End pub, just east of Mile End underground station. The Rusty Bike is a modern pub with a large front garden and an even larger indoor area. The focus appears to be sport and Thai food to keep the drinks company. This is not an obvious destination for real ale drinkers but there is a very healthy selection of keg beers and ciders. The staff are very friendly and efficient. Great place to stop for a pint

1 /5 Sorry John: This review is not about the food as that is really good. When you work in bar, one of the first things you learn, is how to pour a pint of Guinness as this needs a little more effort than a larger, ale or wine When I approached the bar manager with a poorly poured pint and asked for a top up, the reaction was less than positive or friendly but he did finally do it while grumbling "it will eventually settle". As I was watching the football and did not have time to move on I had to put up with a short measure 4 more times. Thankfully it was not personally, because when I looked round all the Guinness served had an oversized head. To rub salt into the wound by the toilet was a poster of a perfectly poured pint of Guinness so I took a picture. When I showed the bar manager the picture he just shrugged. Maybe I should have said "excuse me my friend but could you fit 2 large whiskies in that Guinness?" and when he replied "Yes" followed it with "Well how about filling it up with Guinness". Generally, there are usually only three of us, and we spend well over £125 and we consider ourselves regulars rather than tourists.

4 /5 sophie benson: delicious chicken pad see ew! salt and pepper squid was really oily but everything else was good, definitely recommend it a casual yet flavorful dinner
