I see it's re-opened (blimey)! I thought the same as you t-sean - more flaming flats but seems we were both wrong - so far anyway. Not been in there yet but there's an over 21's with ID rule and it's under new management. I'll venture in soon and hopefully will be grateful it's remained a pub!

Refurb????? I expect flats, another good old pub(In its pre sports bar days) gone,never to return. I hope i'm wrong....but stoneye, i hate gastro pubs with a passion, but make you right in this case
|
Interested to see what they make of this - if it ever reopens. The chances are it will be turned into (yet another) betting shop...
|
This awful pub is now closed for refurb. Anything would be better than its previous state.
|
would rather see it as a gastropub then the chavhole it was , but it would be much better as a live music venue
|
A HELL HOLE ON EARTH I was a regular in the old Queens,and yeah it was shabby, but a decent boozer with half decent bands. Since the refurb,its gone down hill fast.I was in there Friday afternoon with a mate of mine.the place was full of scum, and very tatty.I really felt for the young blonde barmaid.Full of wannabee ganstaaaaaassss trying to intimidate anyone outside their mob who was in there, they failed.I dont think they had a drink between them It's a Gun crime scene waiting to happen Was going to give it zero, but coz the barmaid was nice i've upped it to 3
|
I have been told that this pub is closing down and is going to become a gastropub? Is this true? I would rather see it become a music venue again.
|
i've lived in this area for a while and watch this place go downhill. If you do manage to get past the hoodies at the door you'll be greeted with dingy decor and sleezy men. Not reccomended.

This is by far the worst pub i have ever been to. I don't even know where to start, the list of negativities could take pages. let's just say that the service is awful, the beer disgusting, it is incredibly dirty and it smells like hell. but above all the clientèle is the main concern, just drunken ASBOS and drug dealers who have nothing better to do with their lives than sit there with their pit bulls and bling-blings harressing whoever happens to walk by (Girls in particular). It is not unusual to be offered drugs or simply be insulted when passing by. do you think i might be exaggerating? just try it for yourself on any given night of the week and you ll see it too!It is a disgrace for this otherwise decent and respectable neighborhood to have to put up with such an abomination of a boozer. now why don't the authorities do something about this? the smell and dirt alone would be good enough a reason to shut it for good. I invite all the residents to protest to the police and to boicott this place by any means, until dignity will be restored and the place turned into a decent local pub.

Utter tripe. Bring back the old Queens
|
Sports Zone. Two big screens Loads of small tellys 7 pool tables. Big pub.
|
This pub is perhaps unfairly maligned; the beer is exteremely mediocre but it fulfils its intention of being a sports venue well. Plenty of pool tables and television screens. Not too expensive but one for sports fans only and ones that think Micheal Jackson is the King of Pop rather than the King of beer critics.

This place is a god forsaken place with a large proportion of tracksuit and reebok brigade. Bling is the thing in here and speed garage is the norm.
Known locally as the Punch and Headbut, I have only beenin once since they "refurbished" it. I wish they hadn't have bothered. It resembles a sea side amusment park more than a boozer.
The beer is pee and the atmosphere is chavtastic.
Come only for an England game on TV where ther is a good atmosphere, to score a Henry or to get your face smashed in!

Nice outdoor gardens, otherwise not much to recommend it except for the architecture. The beer is expensive and stale, with very little selection.
|
