🚇 Stepney Green 🍺 £3.59 Carlsberg The Half Moon pub is located on busy Mile End Road close to Queen Mary University in Mile End in the East End of London. The nearest Tube is Stepney Green. This Wetherspoons pub used to be a Methodist chapel, built in 1900. In 1977, the disused chapel was taken over by the Half Moon Theatre Company, opening with a production of Robert Tressell’s The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists. In 1985, the theatre expanded into a derelict site next door, yet closed in 1990. Wetherspoons refurbished the two buildings and opened this pub in 1998. This Spoons unusually has two bars, one in the front left and one in the rear right. The front bar (Chapel Bar) has the servery located at the back, a very high ceiling with an impressive domed skylight and some unique high-back booths. The back bar is completely different and has quite a modern industrial feel to it. To the side of the pub is a large patio beer garden with plenty of seating and is partially covered. The beer selection has a simple choice of keg options and a good range of cask ales. I decided on a Carlsberg, my pint was great, price point was less than four quid. The food menu is vast and offers a veritable smorgasbord of deep fried microwaveable pub classics, Fish & Chips and an alcoholic drink costs £11.61. I arrived just before 6pm on a chilly Saturday afternoon in March. The pub was busy in both bars and in the beer garden. The atmosphere was different in all three areas, The Chapel bar was slightly subdued, the back bar a bit livelier and it was buzzing in the beer garden. The service was pleasant, I was served in no time at all and the server was gracious. I must admit, I do enjoy visiting a local Spoons as it is a great way to see a good cross section of the local community. It also provides an affordable place for the younger and older generations to have and enjoy social interaction. The Half Moon is a unique East End pub experience, definitely a pub of two halves. Worth a look if you’re in the area. ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 30.03.24

I popped in here after The Baxter's in Hackney. This one looked like a former theatre, so the interior was nicely decorated keeping some original features. I had a Big Sea Mad Squirrel and enjoyed it outside in the impressive beer garden that resembled a courtyard. Worth visiting.

Best value breakfast out. Lovely buildings d pleasant staff. Two read breakfasts (inc veggie option) and unlimited hot drinks for just over £8.00. What’s not to like.
