Recently visited this for the first time in about five years. I remember it being pretty vile back in 2002, and it's perhaps improved slightly - but not much. The pub was dominated by a local weirdo moving round the pub bellowing loudly at various people - I thought it reflected poorly on the pub that he wasn't shown the door, to be honest. The front part of the pub is also redolent of unpleasant smells from the gent's toilets. Not very good.

Had a pint of strongbow in here on Tuesday pm. Air con pretty good, a selection of ales available.
I didn't notice how dirty my glass was until too late.
2 girls walked out while we were at the bar due to the service.
Not a good experience apart from the air con.

Went to this pub last night (17/03/06) with a view to meeting friends and going on for an evening out.
OK, so it's a pub. It's near Edgware Road tube. It serves something resembling beer. That's about all you can about it.
It is in a scummy part of Edgware Road (remember the BBC series about Paddington Green a couple of years ago?). The people at the bar last night were intimidating, shell-suited lager louts. The Guinness in there (it was St Patrick's Day) was vile. The teenage (i.e. under 18) girls and boys made it a thoroughly awful experience.
Will not return. Not if you paid me. Crap beer, crap atmosphere, nervous looking landlord serving people who looked like they were on methadone. Rancid.

STOP PRESS: I am glad this pub no longer has Sky, the football idiots were destroying the karma.

This is my local pub and my family have been drinking here for well over 30 years. Geoff the landlord is a great bloke but has a no nonsense attitude so if you cause trouble then he will remember your face!
The bar staff are constantly changing and you can be guranteed the staff are always going to be funny and welcoming- the landlord wont have moody boring staff at this pub!
The food is cheap and is really nice and there is a huge range of beers on, football nights are usually packed and there are pool competitions on tuesdays. If you walk in on your own you could feel intimidated but the people who drink here are very very friendly and you will find yourself making friends with them by the end of the night.
Try this pub, the juke box is really uptodate and the atmoshpere is great!

good mix of locals, tourists and passing trade on their way to the west end. not bad food for the price, friendly enough, good pool table and large screen tv and 2 small screens, very busy for the chelsea match the day i was in. worth a visit.

This was the first pub I went in after moving to the area and it is a great local I think. Nicer inside than you would think. Big screens, good pool table and cheap food. Despite previous comments I found landlord (maybe new?) very pleasant and welcoming. Not pretentious, not dodgy, just a decent little pub.

Slightly scary looking locals, but they're friendly enough. Pool table and cheap drinks improve the place as well!

good atmosphere with friendly locals and good cheap food. the fish and chips was especially good value at 2.99. the only down side was a very unwelcoming landlord, though the bar staff more than made up for him.
