A great spot next to the river, quite a mission to get to but once you're there it's worth it! We had a lazy Saturday lunch on their terrace, great Bloody Mary, great views, great (huge) burger! Highly recommended if you're in docklands/cw area and fancy something different.

It's got history going back to Horatio Nelson, good beer, good wine and good food. It has two indoor bars, a real fire, and an outdoors bit right next to the Thames facing the Millenium Dome or whatever it's called now. Coldharbour is a bit of a walk through the zombie-zone from Canary Wharf but it's well worth outrunning some hoodies to get there and enjoy your beer while you contemplate Nord Nelson having 3's ups with Lady Hamilton and her husband after a few too many celebrations at The Gun. No really. They did.

we had a private party booking in the river room. The food, service and the room were 5 star, we had a really wonderful evening and i would highly recommend this experience.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful... The food, the drink, and the staff are all wonderful.

I had such a lovely evening here with my husband recently.

He had been before after work with friends from 'the wharf', but it was my first (of many, I hope), and thoroughly enjoyed everything.

Sadly, having had a couple of drinks in here previously and really loved the place, I decided to go recently for the bar food.When the fish pie arrived, I suspected something might be wrong by the anaemic potato lid- it didn't look like it had seen an oven, never mind the fact we had been waiting over 40minutes.

As it was, it was stone cold in the middle, and barely warm round the edges.Having sent it back, I had the pleasure of watching my friend eat her welsh rarebit, which she did enjoy. I also had my chips to eat, which are undoubtably delicious.

Around 15minutes later, the fish pie came back. Still anaemic, still only lukewarm in the middle. Having spoken to the manager about it, he told me he'd come to my table to see. He managed to pop over around another 10 minutes later, not particularly bothered by the fact that the kitchen of his gastropub can't even heat up a fish pie.

He offered us a free glass of wine, which was accepted with a sigh - but really, it's not the point is it?I love the feel of the place, the drinks are good, it's not unreasonably priced, the open fires are lovely, but on this occasion the food - which for a gastropub is supposed to be central - was a real disappointment.I will try it again, and advise others to do so as well, but on this occasion, it just wasn't up to the job.

A fantastic bar - an open fire and surprisingly comfy chesterfields make this venue perfect for a winters afternoon. All that's missing are the smoking jackets and velvet slippers. The patio is a great spot in the summer but does catch the wind - you almost feel you are on a boat on the river.

A nice selection of bar snacks; pistachio's, cashews spicy rice crackers etc) and though I have yet to eat a full meal here I look forward to the chance soon. The drinks are comparable with other bars in Canary Wharf but The Gun offers so much more. A great atmosphere with tastefully decorated rooms oozing class (not sure about the end room with the strange naval murals - but they are - interesting?!).

I regularly go to the Gun and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Rates for private hire are reasonable and I look forward to planning an event here.

A real gem on the Isle

We recently held a party at The Gun. The staff were amazing - helpful, on the ball and made for a seemless evening. The terrance outside has heated lamps, and the view across The Thames is lovely.

The canapes were brilliant - large servings, fresh and everyone commented on the high quality of the food and the service. All in all a fabulous evening and we would highly recommend The Gun for any function - a fabulous night with great staff and great food.
