This had changed since I last went in there. Looked to be styling itself as a music (heavy metal perhaps?) venue - there's a stage area out the back, and the landlady/barmaid was dressed all in black, Johnny Cash style. On a Sunday afternoon, it was quiet and relaxing with just a few locals supping pints and quite decent music playing. Despite the fact that it appears to be another GK pub serving no ale on handpump, I thought it was a reasonable place in an area with some lamentably poor pubs.

Went here for the first time on Saturday as The Old Kings Head is now dead and i must say what a top pub. Clean, friendly and, live bands and fair priced. Well worth going to.

New landlord, new look. The Unicorn is now a rock pub. Kev the landlord runs a friendly, welcoming place with decent (and free) live music(cover bands and originals) many nights of the week. Being a Greene King pub the prices are reasonable and the range of drinks excellent. No food, but that's no bad thing. My favourite pub in the area.

Interesting. Relatively clean place from what i can gather on my brief stop today. Pint of Carling wasn't up to scratch though, the glass was disgustingly dirty and the beer tasted rubbish anyway, so 1/6th of a pint later we are off. (Well, when the misses finished her bulmers.)

Still v. cheap - Landlord's a Notts Forest fan, despite the Arsenal regalia...!

Right in front of the practice studio I use with my band, so v. convenient. Also cheap, with friendly staff and big screen for watching your favourite team get beat...

The sort of pub you should go to if you're in London for a night and need to meet your boyfriend to watch the England match.
