Jd Wetherspoon - Hackney

If you are up for a really unpleasant dining experience plus an end of night argument with a cold, insensitive manager who only come to make your night even worse,,, This is the place to go. We have been to Wetherspoon pubs all over Britain:...

Big boozer on mare st Hackny, Obviously no music here ,but a ggod buzz of conversation, booths allow a little more privacy, the food looks good just what you expect from wetherspoons. its the beer here, Brooklin beer is a loverly pint, but itll make a mess of you if you abuse it.

My partner and I have been here a few times but today we were so disappointed we had to leave. We are locals to this establishment but it is clear that the 'older ' locals take absolute priority, we waited 20 minutes to be served at the bar, despite being at the front, because older men just budged their ways in front of us to be acknowledged by the staff straight away. Once the staff finally took notice of us, we were asked what we wanted before she disappeared to the other end of the bar to chat to another older gentleman (pouring a Guinness as she did so which was not what we ordered). We waited and watched in awe as she failed to return with our drinks after another 5 minutes waiting at the bar, we eventually turned and left empty handed. You 're honestly better off spending a bit more money and getting wonderful service in local pubs such as pub on the park. Really hope the managers at this Wetherspoons can improve their staff attitudes

This Wetherspoons has a nice warm feel to it and decor.. Friendly and accommodating staff. As always Wetherspoons doesn't disappoint with great value foods. Impressed with the ladies toilets.

Another day, another Spoons.A grim January afternoon and Mare Street wasn't the most appealing as the drizzle did its thing. Baxter's Court was the chosen refuge and it was busy but I was served quickly at the enormous bar at the far end. There's also a smaller upstairs bar with seating area but I managed to find somewhere to sit, looking out onto the bus massive, waiting in the drizzle for their choice of ride. I knew I'd made the right choice.I've been coming to Baxter's Court since it opened and can't now remember Hackney before BC as it now seems to have been there forever. Although there are now a number of good pubs in the area serving real ale, it's reassuring to note that none can compete on the price of really good ales at Spoons, including Baxter's Court.The place is certainly a real community local pub and is used by all walks of Hackney life. It does get busy but it's so large, you can often find quiet pockets to locate into, including the upstairs area.The staff are invariably helpful and polite and worthy of special mention for the way they manage, including at the busiest times.
