      After walking around for a bit we wanted to take a break & grab some drinks, food something easy.
      Hubby found this place, gotta love the name we came in & we're seated right away.
      Drinks we got New castle & Abbot beers, both good nice tall glass.
      Also tried the Chicken Caesar wrap, it was very good, nice taste w some fries nice & crispy.
      The place is not very big inside but it has some nice views of the water right under the bridge. it was a nice day so the views were nice & clear.
      This was more of a self serve type of place u order at the bar, pay & they would bring the food to our table.
      Price wise not bad, we enjoyed our drinks & after recharging our legs we were off to the next location.

      A decent stop by tower bridge! They have a variety of cocktails and beers. We shared the fisherman's platter which had calamari, shrimp, and onion rings but was definitely heavy on the fries.

      Came here as a first stop when we landed in London and finished a quick boat tour. Solid pints and a great entry fish-n-chips. Can't beat the local too!

      Small and expensive with amazing views of Tower Bridge.

      The crew is very friendly and carries big smiles at all times.

      Beware of extremely hot water in the bathrooms that will melt your hands. The locks don't work but you'll manage.

      Food is OK and the amazing view of the iconic Tower Bridge on a beautiful day will counter the high cost of food.

      This restaurant was opened as a bar in 2007, after it stopped being used as coal store for the engine rooms. Great idea indeed.

      Nestled next to Tower bridge is this wonderful bar with an outside area giving great views of the river and the bridge. Just here, this time, for a refreshing pint in this wonderful hot summer day. Food looked good and we will try it on our next visit.

      The fish looks really good, as well as the chips. The batter on the cod is tasty and perfectly done, however, the fish is definitely frozen.

      The chips are definitely the highlight of the meal. Well, other than the view. Being on the patio at the base of the Tower Bridge is amazing. Nice to see London from below instead of above.

      get the chips, a pint, and enjoy the view

      This is a cute little bar right under the Tower Bridge - literally! You can sit inside and almost feel like you're on the water, watching boats and the occasional swan drift by. It makes for a pleasant place to grab a pint and linger. They have outside seating too if the weather is good.

      We only ordered one food item to snack on - the fried calamari. It was pretty good though unexpected...they were four huge rings, like onion rings, not the smaller rings I'm used to. But still, tasty, and nice and hot and fresh from the fryer. I'd go back.

      Fried calamari... as big as onion rings!

      Perfect hidden spot underneath the Tower Bridge with outdoor seating area and amazing Tower Bridge views. Fabulous fish 'n chips, great Pimm's cup and kind servers too made this a perfect place to take a break from sightseeing!! Definitely worth a stop.

      The beers were nice and cold. The view was beautiful. The restaurant was nice and chill. The bar is under the tower bridge and their is also an outside seating area.

      Was it the best food and drinks we had on our 10 day holiday in the U.K.? No. But as an American tourist it was really cool to have a view from under the Tower Bridge.
      For the novelty sake of it alone I would recommend visiting for a beer or two when in the area.
