Bloody hell mate, although par for the course with that gaff, went there a few times when I was a pup and it was never for the faint hearted. Funny but no matter how much time passes, the word is it's still a trouble pub.

Not sure about the Tiger?
Used to drink in The Cumberland, The Albert, both gone, Coach & Horses was the first pub I had a beer in, went years ago. Still pop in the Alex, bit to be honest though I don't go back that often, just to see some of the boys now and again.
Is there a rougher pub in the world than the Beckton Arms?

Good Guinness in there and always a good crew of locals, one of the few places round there left.
The duke on avinons road close a couple of years back, the golden lion closed also and there was on other...want to say the tiger.

I'm in there from time to time away from the football as well, Anarchy, a few of my mates are in there a lot. Done it up a while back, was always a decent boozer anyway, nice pint as well.

I recently conducted an experiment to see what coffee place did the best flat white. Tried about 15 in my area, including trendy organic boutique ones populated by ppeople with big beards and tattoos. Starbucks was best by a mile.

Used to drink in the snooker hall opposite, always quiet and a good little meet up without being spotted before taking a walk down to the tube

I do believe pubs have part of the british social fabric for hundreds of years, starbucks for the last 10 and since Friends was on TV.
You sir are a sheep, im sure youll bitch about all of this on your facebook page.

Son, you're a leader of the working class, eh?
Pubs made for peasants who graft all week making others rich, and then get slaughtered on a Friday and Saturday.
The biggest traps of the ruling classes made for people like you.

You can only be considered proper west ham if you've played pool in the duke.. i am in that category
However to be considered Elite West Ham you have had to have been in the duke at closing time.
I am in the elite!

I see you have no taste in coffee either if you like that milk bucket slop sold by Starbucks.
