The Rising SE1

The guys were very friendly. I'm Mexican and I loved it.

I came here for a first night out with a queer club. Not had a food so I cannot comment. One thing I've learnt about this place is that this is not pet inclusive friendly pub but much of DOGS ONLY. The owner does not allow any other pets in the establishment apart from dogs as they are allergic to cats. Their staff that works their came over to me and my gf and said no cats are allowed in the pub and when my gf said can they put them in a cat carrier they said to my gf to take your cat and go home. They talked to us in such a condescending and rude manner and I got offended how they spoke to me gf. I tried to talk the owner about their staff how they spoke to my gf and because I misprounce their staff - it change the whole narrative and deflected the issue in the first place. I did put my hands up and apologise to the staff that I mispronounced when I was trying to tell what happened to the owner which I corrected my self after but when I was trying to explain myself to the owner they didn't want to hear any of it. When I was speaking to the owner I wanted to understand why dogs are welcome but cats arent but the tonation of their voice/ their response was very rude, condescending and not friendly. I was genuinely curious what about the customers that maybe allergic to dogs? Fair enough their pub, their rules but it left a sour taste in mouth. Neverless if you own a cat you want to take them out this is not a place to be and avoid at all cost. So in the case I will be taking myself and my cat to another pub and will not visit this place again.

Fantastic LGTB+ pub in central London. Vibrant atmosphere, friendly people and staff, and a busy agenda of events. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, plus you can play pool!

Really great queer pub, plenty of seating. Cheap pool table and live events going on. Drinks a little on the expensive side but that's it

Great to see a new queer place in Elephant & Castle. Nicely decked out, friendly and good drink offers. Loved it
