Cannot really embellish on the last couple of posts, this pub will be shut down shortly, it is the last calling station for all the customers that the other pubs in the area dont want... very very dangerous and nasty
|
This pub was always delightfully seedy but now has veered to the downright dangerous. Popped in for a swift half the other day and was horrified to see that Crack was openly being sold by some of the chavs from the local estate. Only a matter of time before the police shut this pub down.

popped in here one afternoon...noticed the clientelle....looked like the dayroom of rampton hospital....used to go in quite regularly and it was always a bit rough but now....what is going on!!!!...by the way got to the bar...crazy in front smelled like he had not washed ever...turned straight around and hot..rip

The night I stopped off for a quiet drink there were about six other people in this pub, including four 20-somethings who spent most of the time chasing each other around the pub. One took umbrage at something another said, smashed his glass and left. The others, meanwhile, including the man I considered to be the landlord, went outside to have a play fight and a fag. Don't know why, when the barmaid considered herself totally justified to light up inside the pub.
A blot on the landscape that should be razed to the ground. Given its clientele, it probably will be very shortly.
Oh, and there was no soap in the lavs.

been in once,since it has changed...its a bit poncy now..£3 for a strongbow is a bt steep, prefered it when all the alchies were in there....by the way think most of old clientel migh go to coach and horses now...good pub for them
|
Been a few years since I've been in but have fond memories. Honest
|
A week on, and a return visit confirmed my initial views.
The Landlord, Paul, is that rare breed; attentive, courteous and interested in his customers (and his beers!)
The food is honest fare too; only £5.95 for a large portion of fish, chips and peas, piping hot and very tasty.
This place deserves to succeed!

Never gave it a second glance because it looked so dire.
However, what a pleasant surprise when I popped for a mid-afternoon jar the other day en route to Pimlico tube. Would agree with all the other comments, and the landlord is indeed a real gent and a runs a super little pub.
I'll be going back soon!

Revelation - how could a pub change so much for the better is beyond belief.
The decor is lovely and the Irish guy who runs i t is very friendly, lovely place
|
The pub is very friendly with staff that are very nice and polite especially the Irish landlord. Relaxd with good IPA.

Had a great night there when they have a quiz.A good lively crowd, good wine chice and comfy recent refurb There is a new guvnor there now who looks like he knows what he's doing so definatly worth a return visit or two.
|
Total turnaround! This place is absolutely great. The manager is such a friendly guy and we had really good pies.

Boy has this place changed! A couple of Irish guys have totally transformed this place from the moost unwelcoming boozer in SW1 to a really pleasant place to come. New layout, lovely comfy couches, jazzy music, great quiz on Mondays - good luck to ye lads!!
|
Now this place is a shit hole. One bar and one kind of customer - scruff. Don't visit here unless your on the dole or very, very lonely.
|
Without doubt the worst pub ever it really is the pits, full of 70 year old scottish drunks, could use a good clean or maybe a couple of hand grenades would improve the place. shite!
|
This used to be a great pub. It's changed hands since I was last in the area and things have changed for the worse. Cleanliness is obviously low on the agenda and I can't begin to understand how the place hasn't been shut down by the local sanitation department. The bar now has something of a Scottish flavour and Sassenachs's appear to be unwelcome. Shame as this used to be a good pub.

Complete refurbishment been done, charity events, last week it was transformed into a beach party with a pool,sand and sangria, great atmosphere for all ages. If you are a whisky fan then you wont be dissapointed with the variety of choices. Great drink, great people, great pub.
|
I think it has been taken over by a jocko, have a happy hour between 5-7 each night......good but often run out of beer ........bad.
You are able to tell its happy hour as all the local alchies and low life come in.
No sky sports but do show main tv sport.
I like this pub because you cant beat people watching in strange pubs, also never any problem in there, although I did have a nutty old man keep talking to me even when i had back to him and watching football.
check it out its good for a couple of pints.
|
Oi! Did you spill my pint? Are you looking at my pittbull??
Actually this is quite a nice place, and its refreshing to be somewhere not mobbed by boring office workers speaking too loudly about their mundane lives (cf. The White Swan, The Morpeth Arms in Pimlico). They have a disco on Saturday nights where it's pretty easy to pull ...
|
Because of its location it is undoubtedly a local, but this was not a problem in the least when my mates and I visited. Very good Greene King IPA at very good prices during happy hour. Menu was standard pub fare but excellent value for money given the portion sizes.
This is a good, honest unpretentious pub that I would highly recommend to those seeking a place to enjoy a quiet pint or two. Or three or four or five or…
|
Actually a decent boozer, altough seriously lacking in clientele !
Food portions are MASSIVE, and great value. Pool table and vast range of beers. Didnt smell of wee wehn i was there, but there was a leak in the roof !

This pub has now gone seriously downhill. It smelt of wee at lunchtime today. Full of old blokes spending their pensions. However, it is cheap.

The beer is excellent! And they have a happy hour Monday to Friday from 5 to 7 with, eg, Greene King IPA at just £1.60 a pint (normally £2.04). Similar discounts on various other drinks. Bar staff are efficient and friendly, unlike many of the pubs in the area.
|
The best thing about this pub is the food. It is excellent value for money and good "tucker". The wine is nice too, and cheap for central London at about 8 quid a bottle. The beer is ok. It's a bit of a locals pub but ok at lunchtimes cos it means its not too busy with worky-types - a bit of a hidden gem at the moment.
