Randomness Guide to London - Differences between Version 21 and Version 8 of Bar Nakoda, E1 1DE

Version 21 Version 8
== Line 0 == == Line 0 ==
Bar Nakoda was a pub/bar on Whitechapel Road, previously known as the Black Bull but not obviously different from the Black Bull incarnation. It closed in 2009, and became a restaurant called Bombay Grill <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/5686581900/ photo]</small>.
Previously known as the Black Bull, a pub serving a wide range of well-kept Nethergate beers. Reopened as Bar Nokada in late 2007. Note that the photo on this page is from when it was still the Black Bull - the outside still looks fairly similar but has a long lit-up sign on the frontage with "Nakoda" written vertically on it.

The information below is retained for people who want to know what it used to be like.
They still have real ale; on our visit in December 2007 they were serving Old Growler (I think), Sussex Best (I think), and another one that I can't remember the name of (Bob?), all at &pound;2.80/pint.

Doesn't serve food at the time of writing (December 2007) but after Christmas they plan to start serving an Indian buffet as well as an a la carte Indian menu.

The interior is fairly sparse, with a few banquette-enclosed tables to one side (seating maybe eight at each) and a few table/chair clusters scattered around the rest of the interior. Most of the other customers (the post-work crowd) during our December 2007 visit chose to ignore the seating in favour of standing around by the bar.

They serve [http://www.nethergate.co.uk/ Nethergate] real ales; on [[Kake]] and [[Bob]]'s visit in December 2007 they had Old Growler, Sussex County and Augustinian all at &pound;2.80/pint.

[[Howard]] visited in March 2008; staff and customers were both friendly. Sports/races on flat screen. I tried the Nethergate Azzaparrot, Nethergate Suffolk County and Nethergate IPA, all very good.

The beer is well-kept, in the opinion of both [[Bob]] and [[Howard]].

Didn't serve food at the time of our December 2007 visit, but they told us that after Christmas they planned to start serving an Indian buffet as well as an a la carte Indian menu. The buffet serving area had already been at least partially constructed by the time of that visit; not sure whether these plans have actually been realised though.

As of October 2008, there is still no Indian food of any sort.
