The Old Ship

WHat can i say about the place … its our local pub and we love it.
The reasons for that oyu might ask???
Simply its like havinga beer at your place, people are so nice, prices are reasonable and they havea drag show once a week (I believe on the weekends)
What else to ask from a pub???

The Old Ship
There is a poem by James Elroy Flecker that I find appropriate in summarizing my feeling of this hidden Old Ship which sails on the corner of York Square Gardens north of the Limehouse DLR station:
It was so old a ship — who knows, who knows? -
And yet so beautiful, I watched in vain
To see the mast burst open with a rose,
And the whole deck put on its leaves again.
I have to admit that my discovery of this ship was a result of my utter selfishness. As a Limehousian, there are opportunities to have the name Dennis M. go down in history as the first reviewer and upon my search of Unilocal-​virgins, I came across The Old Ship.
As I approached the ship shrouded in a lamp-​lit hazy mist, I was not able to imagine what treasures or horrors lay within. Quietly making an entrance I saw a bounty of brightly lit booze, the ships white fluffy dog, local patrons sipping on golden pints and… and??? TWO DISCO BALLS?!! Oh yeah, you heard me. A duo set of glimmering shining sparkling spinning spheres twirling frivolously over the small wooden Shakespearean stage!
… stage?!
After a couple more visits to my new favourite local ship, I can tell you that TOS is a local pub, pool hall, beer garden and on the weekend drag-​show complete with not one, but two spinning mirror balls. I LOVE this place because of the complete randomness, super cold and crisp Thatchers (not for me but for my lady friends… don’t judge…), disco-​esque 70s-​80s music, the cute white dog running around, the old lacy wallpaper, the stage… All I can say is that I’m proud to be a Limehousian because of places like TOS where I can sit down after a long day of looting and pirating and have a nice beer. Oh… and the prices… let me just tell you if you enjoy simple cocktails, they are basically free compared to the other prices you’ll find in London. And with that, this pirate approves and gives this place a solid 4 STAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRS MATEY!
