The Baring was a pub in [[Locale Hoxton|Hoxton]]. It has now closed and been replaced by a "wine bar and gin parlour" called the Poet. The information below is retained for historical purposes. <div class="old_info"> Pub in [[Locale Hoxton|Hoxton]]. The decor is non-traditional, featuring large windows, pale cream walls with various prints and paintings of pop culture icons (The Beatles, scenes from Pulp Fiction), a bare-boarded floor, and mismatched wooden chairs and tables. Candles sit in wax-dribbled wine bottles on the tables, and a fairly substantial collection of board games is stacked against one wall. There are a couple of sofas too, one near the door and the other round the corner in a little nook on a dais. Outside seating is provided by a few tables out the front of the pub, and a small beer garden out the back. [[Kake]] visited on a Sunday early evening in September 2011. There were several people in, mostly sat at the bar; there were plenty of free tables. A couple of bicycles were distributed around the room, apparently belonging to customers. Music was playing, quite loudly — Primal Scream, Michael Jackson, Iggy Pop. A flatscreen was showing tennis with the sound off. All four handpumps were on, offering Spitfire, Landlord, Woodforde Wherry, Harvey's Sussex Best (the latter two being guests, according to a sign on the bar). A pint of lime and soda was £1.60. According to a menu seen in the pub in September 2011 <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/6113749929/ photo]</small>, food is served noon-10pm Mon-Fri and noon-9pm Sat-Sun, including brunch <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/6114292868/ menu photo]</small> between noon and 3pm at weekends. A sign seen on the same visit advertised a quiz and curry night every Thursday from 8:30pm, with quiz entry and a curry (Thai, Indian or Caribbean, available from 6pm) costing £5 and quiz entry alone costing £1. According to the Fancyapint review linked below, there's another room upstairs with a pool table, dartboard, and table football. Finally, according to the Baring website as of September 2011, there's free wifi. Accessibility: A small step to get at both entrances, only an inch or so high. Bigger steps to the beer garden. Step-free to the ladies' once you're in, not sure about the gents' See also: * [http://www.fancyapint.com/pub/2446 Fancyapint review] * [http://web.archive.org/web/20150908082519/http://www.viewlondon.co.uk/pubsandbars/the-baring-review-15810.html ViewLondon review] * [http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubreviews/54335/ Pubs Galore comments] * [http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/comments.shtml/8614/ Beer In The Evening comments] <div class="last_verified">Last visited by [[Kake]], September 2011.</div> </div>
