The Union Jack — Restaurant in London

🚇 Southwark 🍺 £5.70 Heineken ❤️ A friendly corner boozer in the backstreets of Southwark. . The Union Jack is easy to get to and is just a couple of minutes walk from Southwark Tube. . This pub used to be called The King of Prussia and changed its name during WWI. Architecturally this Victorian pub is simple in appearance and has several ornate columns around the outside of the pub. . The pub is split in to three distinct areas, the bar area, a raised seating area and a back room. The bar area has a traditional feel to it, the raised area and back room look completely different to the bar and you would think you were in a different pub. The raised area and back room has a proper pub carpet, a hotch potch of different well worn sofas and the walls are filled with an eclectic mix of artwork by up and coming artists. I did visit the khazi and it could do with a bit of love. . This Independent pub has a straight up selection of beers, I ordered a pint of Heineken from the chatty and welcoming barman. My pint was decent enough and average price so no complaints from me. This pub is card only. . I visited on a warm July day, the majority of punters were sat outside on the dozen or so benches. Inside it was relaxed and chilled affair, there was a downtempo soundtrack playing in the background creating a nice ambiance. . The Union Jack is a laid back pub and has a homely feel to it. I loved the oldschool pub carpet and the service was good. Definitely worth a look in here. . ℹ️ Information correct on...

Food is good Drinks are fairly priced The welcome is always warm and friendly.

Although I no longer work in the area if I am in the area I will always pop in to say Hi! and I'm greeted like a long...

Nice for drinks, with lovely staff, but the food is very bad. The burger taste like it’s from an industrial site burger van, and is advertised as a “smash burger” but comes as a standard rubbery thick burger patty. If you want a very good burger for the same price, walk 50m up the road to The Nelson, and you’ll come away pleased! UJ’s men’s toilets look like there’s been a paint explosion, and a sarcastic small potted plant has been placed by a hole in the wall on the floor -...
