Popped in after a Jack the Ripper tour for a quick drink and ended up coming out at 1 am. The pub had a nice fusion of an old historic pub with a fresh young vibe and a great playlist too. The pub was busy but with plenty of staff behind the bar service was quick. Shout out to the bar staff who on a busy Saturday night worked really hard.
One of my favorite stops when in London. The obvious stop for Ripper fans and folks taking the tour - stop before and after! Smaller bar but cozy, solid and attentive staff. No food, save some chips but plenty of other places around to eat so no worries. Very old London feel to the bathrooms, but they do the job! Espresso martinis ON DRAFT! Always at least a little busy so fun atmosphere. Be sure to stop at Spitalfields market across the street, another must see. Aldgate East was closed underground stop! Stop by, you'll have fun!
We popped in here after doing the ripper tour, It just seemed appropriate. The decor was tired but still nice and suited to its surroundings. Service was just Service. My partner had a bottle of zero so no worries with that but I had a pint of draught beer. I'd say it was definitely the worst drink I'd had in 20 years. Cost was a tad over £11 which was probably to be expected because of the location. As requested by the owner I've added a photo of the offending beer which was something pale.
Great bar. Lazy staff. If you go up to the cocktail lounge. He didn’t want to make a cocktail but the guy next to him made one. Avoid the young lazy bartender. Ask the bar back. He’s more accommodating.Service: 1/5
Last night my friend and I, after a dinner in a lovely Asian restaurant in Brick Lane, as you do, we decided to have our last drink at the famous The Ten Bells. Was busy, good atmosphere. After we finished drink a bottle of prosseco, which wasn’t as cold as we expected, but we enjoy it anyway, we decided to pop upstairs where there were cocktails available to purchase. We thought to have the last drink of the night and finish on high spirit. Before going upstairs, we decided to go to the loo, but seeing how the stairs were so old, probably full of history, we took some pictures while we were there. All of sudden a girl came from upstairs, telling us off, to get out of her way. We just laughed and finished taking the pictures anyway. However, when we reached the cocktail bar, the same girl were behind the bar, flipping her fingers onto her phone, looking miserable, like she hate her job. Meanwhile, her colleague, a nice young man, served us, very polite, made us feel so welcome. When I asked him who was she, he told that she, Megan her name, was the supervisor, which made me feel shocked. How come a supervisor could look miserable like that, let alone rude with customers? Many people goes to The Ten Bells to have the experience to drink in a pub where by the history, was where Jack the Ripper could maybe being in 1888. I really hope that the management explain to her that customers are not always right but at least treat them well and with more enthusiasm. By the way, the cocktail was delicious.
We stopped in after going on the Jack the Ripper tour. The bartender was friendly and offered a taste of any beer we wanted to try as there is a nice selection of beer on tap. The prices are very reasonable especially as this spot attracts tourists. Unfortunately, we didn’t see the ghost of Annie Chapman.
If you have the opportunity to go upstairs don't miss it ! It kinda feels dark and bit spooky... Definitely feels old and you can picture how it was back in the 19th century.Service: 5/5
popped in for a pint because of its history. Barmaid was nice and friendly. The place was clean and tidy. The Camden Hells was good.Glad we visited.Service: 5/5
Great pub! It has historical significance being the pub at least two, possibly all, of the victims of Jack the Ripper were patrons at this establishment. The interior is really beautiful. They have a second floor and have a weekly quiz night. They have an outdoor area with tables and shelves so you can hang out outdoors and have a cigarette or vape. The staff were extremely friendly here. It is very clean and has a really great vibe. The restrooms, which are downstairs, are clean and some of the fixtures look like they are from days of old. Be careful on the stairs as they are narrow and go down in a spiral. There is a handrail to hang on to should you need it. They have a bank of phone chargers downstairs on the level of the restrooms that you can rent for £1.99 for 10 minutes if the battery on your phone needs a boost. They did have some brands of beverage out of stock, but that could be down to popularity; but that's okay because it offers the chance to try something different that you may not have tried before. The blackberry cider and ginger beer were really delicious and hit the spot. We went in the early afternoon which afforded feeat opportunities to take photos. The staff is okay with taking as many pictures as you like. The pub starts to fill up around 4:30. I highly recommend stopping in for a pint or two! if you find yourself in the East End of London.
We've been there doing our Jack the ripper tour. We actually expected a better ambience but the pub was super crowded and really plain as a service. Since the ground floor was very noisy with a very bad music we visited the upstairs bar, which was much better. Cocktails are really expensive, but it's London and the pub is famous, so, fair enough. Just a little bit more of Jack the ripper atmosphere. Shame they didn't had any themed cocktails. Looks like they want to cancel the infamous history of the area which is the actual reason why people are going there
