Closed in October 2012 by property developer but following a high-profile campaign to save it, led by the local community with support from Hackney Council, the pub reopened in June 2015 as a 'Traditional East End Boozer' after a very tasteful and sympathetic refurbishment.

The pub is on a quiet turn very close to Hackney Central. Although very much a neighbourhood local it is popular with visitors to Hackney and local workers from schools, hospital and Hackney Council. Excellent choice of local and regional beers.

Five hand pumps dispense a constantly changing range of cask ales sourced from all over Britain. Several premium keg beers are available e.g. Pressure Drop Pale Fire and Paulaner. Also has a house pilsner by Bavo (Belgian) and a wide selection of Belgian, American and English speciality bottled and canned beers.

Any takeaway food can be brought in and consumed on the premises but local pizza from Yard Sale is particularly popular and can be delivered to your table.

In addition to its Asset of Community Value status, the pub was awarded CAMRA East London & City Branch Pub of the Year 2016 an Cider pub of the year 2025. SPBW London Pub of the Year 2017.
