      Heard great things about this pub from some friends and had to give it a try. Wasn't disappointed, the Thai food is delicious and the staff amazing! Loved the boxing-themed decoration, perfect to watch sports events while enjoying a nice beer from their incredible selection.

      Food is amazing! Delicious spot for Thai food but the service was atrocious. Bar staff could not have cared less if we were there or if we got up and left.

      I went to the Ring a few days ago and was very surprised to find out about their amazing Thai menu. I got the pad Thai and my friend got the Thai snacks and it was just something else! Great atmosphere and super friendly bar staff. Fully recommended.

      Excellent location pub right near to Southwark station. So no issues at all organising a meet up here!

      When I used to work in the area, I'd been here once for lunch It's not very large inside, but there are a bunch of tall seats by the window and tables dotted around the bar area.

      Food was okay. I'd ordered a hot dog that was supplied by Big Apple Hot Dogs. At the time this was when their popularity was steadily rising. It was a good dog. The wedges were alright.

      Being seated at the window, it was quite enjoyable people watching. Well apart from the poor person who was obviously having a bad day and screaming down the phone at somebody whilst contemplating whether to take one of the two shots they had sitting on the bench table in front of them.

      In all, it's an alright pub. Nothing special. Only thing that really stands out is the location. Just at the top of The Cut, it opens up many more a better venue as you stroll further down the road towards Waterloo.

      Hot dog and wedges

      Quite frankly this place is stumbling distance from Southwark station, and nicer than we expected, especially with two gin and tonics coming to just a tenner. We were pleasantly surprised. The menu (they do food that looked good too) had a paragraph on the history of the place, and the reasoning for "rocky" on the telly and black and white boxing snaps on the wall.

      It was a little noisy, though pretty much only down to one rowdy numpty on the next table, but not too loud to have a conversation, full bar, decent bar snacks, and very lovely staff, one in particular seemed to remember absolutely everyone's order, and there were a lot of people in there.

      The Good: This place was local awesome! We stumbled upon this place after going to a highly rated local pub, just to learn they were closed because of bank holiday! This place was very close to the tube and it was raining so we thought, why not! It was me and my 23 year old daughter and we are American so of course we ordered the fish & chips!!! They were outstanding! The beer selection on tap was great; the bar tenders and servers were perfect. The atmosphere was great. We were enjoying ourselves so much that we stayed for three rounds!

      The Bad: nothing

      The Rest: really enjoyed the friendly environment; everyone, including the workers, seemed happy. It's a place that we felt welcome at.

      Excellent choice of beers. Good food in a great location. Right Outside the Southwall Tube station. I was in London for a week and stopped by here every night.

      Best beer ever.

      A boxing-themed pub - the first I've ever seen.

      Stopped in for a weekday company lunch. Thai appetizers begin at GBP 3.00, entrees begin at GB 6.50, very competitive for the area. Portions are definitely more than adequate, able to satisfy most hungry, middle aged men.

      Outdoor bench seating is abundant though not necessarily a great place to carry on a conversation - the intersection is much too busy with foot and vehicular traffic thanks to the Southwark tube station.

      We just got to London wandering around trying to find a different pub that when we got there the kitchen was closed. We walked a couple more blocks and saw the ring. We decided to give it a try. I ordered the pole with chili beef and onions and jalapeños on the side. The hot dog had a wonderful flavor with a nice crisp bite to the dog. It was quite yummy. My husband ordered the raging bull. It was quite massive. Somehow he managed to devour the whole thing. He even ate all the French fries. Our friends ordered the fish and chips it was quite a large portion of fish. It came with smashed green peas seasoned with mint. He did not care for the peas. He liked the fish he said the batter was crispy. Our other friend ordered the burger with the chili. She liked it. I tried to order dessert but they no longer have it. It was a delightful dinner.
