Popped in here to get out of the rain. Overpriced smoke filled boozer. Guinness was off so tried a pint of Bombardier which was one of the worst pints I've had in recent times. Stayed cloudy and the barperson really didn't want to change it for me. Eventually they did but even thought the next one cleared it tasted off. Decided that Id rather get soaked and left.

The only thing that saves this place is that it's a good place to stand outside when the sun has got his hat on, and the Landlord is avery nice chap. Tis true that one emerges from this establishment smelling like you've been rolling around the ashtray for an hour, but that aside, not a bad place to sample the local firwater.

How did this get 6/10 as a rating? If you like a smoke aroma to your suit within 5 mins of stepping in somewhere then come on down..
i'd give it 4/10 for serving a reasonably priced pint, not being a pretentious bar, and having a function room downstairs which is of some use for the office above.

i used to work in the offices above this pub,...was good for a swift half on a fag break,....And it was also my venue of choice to watch the 9/11 footage unfurl as and when it was happening,....never watched anything else on the TV in there though,....always deserted after 8pm,......

The only reason to go near this pub is to grab a pint inside and quickly take it outside into the summer sunshine. The reason I say this is because its an absolute hole in the inside. If this was some shoreditch pub then it would be acceptable - its not its a city bar - thats completly run down - and needs a refurbish. Enjoy the sunshine outside - send your mates in for the drinks - but leave once the sun has disapeared!

Absolutely corking little boozer. Friendly atmosphere, great beers, shows all the major sporting events, a lot of promotional nights and a landlord who really knows how to make a pub work. A real gem.
