    A very old style English Pub, I like  the nostalgia of its old world charm. And  I appreciate  the variety of brew and single malt scotch.  

    I can't  think of a better way to spend an evening than with friends, good eats and a good drink to relax and destress.

    On all my visits to this pub I have been struck by how well run this pub is, all the staff behind the bar manage to remain friendly and chatty even when it gets super busy. There is a good atmosphere in the pub throughout and everyone is made to feel welcome whether a hipster or not. It mustn't be forgotten that in addition to their own Howling Hops beer brewed on the premises of which there are normally five or six to choose from the pub also serves a very wide selection of real cider.

    If you like craft beer or real cider or just like a decent pub you could do a lot worse than visiting the Cock Tavern.

    Top tip, if the pub is busy and there are no tables head for the small courtyard garden in the back.

    Geographically situated between hipster haven Oslo just up the road and the Wetherspoons down. The Cock manages to straddle both the worlds of traditional pubs and cheap pints and craft beers and ciders with consummate ease.

    The staff are friendly and happy to give you a taste of the beers before ordering and it's always busy enough for a bit of atmosphere, but never so busy that you couldn't find a seat, and if you can't, the bar is the best place to be anyway.

    One of Hackney's best kept secrets.

    I don't relly like this place, the service is terrible, I order a cider and was really hot. Crazy.

    We been in winter and was too hot inside.

    I'm sorry but I will never suggest this place, even not for a quick drink.
