It's a Walkabout, does what it says on the tin, no more, no less.
Better than anything else in the immediate area, although I appreciate that's not difficult.

Much better than any other Walkabout I've been to, although on the downside, it's part of a soulless shopping centre. Busy but not packed (on a Thursday night), quick service and live music which actually was very good - one man and a guitar playing covers of cheesy music you secretly love. Thankfully there was no toilet attendant on duty (I hate these people) but the loos were clean.

Well I have to say one of the best walkies ever I have made freinds for life there! Or at least I did for a night over far to many Snakebites!!!!!!!!!
|
I wouldn’t drink in here by choice but I was dragged in on Saturday night and I thought that it was very quiet.
For a so called Australian pub it seemed devoid of Australians, but there were a lot of creepy blokes on their own trying to pull….. Shame there was only a handful of women in there.
The live band was OK and the lager was OK and the staff were OK and the bouncers were OK, but the toilet attendant was rude and pushy (even for a toilet attendant).
It is better than the Walkabout in Shepherd’s Bush, but then herpes is better than the walkabout in Shepherd’s Bush.

A nice place to go for the live sport atmosphere. No plasmas here, but all their main TVs are widescreen CRTs, plus they show the main sports channels in true 16:9 widescreen (when available), unlike some of the other "status-conscious" pubs in the local area where customers lose a third (more) of the action even on the plasma screens. In addition, they have a massive projector screen downstairs and small monitors in the loos, so you're never too far away from the footie. If their featured live sports coverage isn't your thing, they also have Sky Sports News on every other screen so you can keep an eye on the other scores. No complaints about food/drinks/service.

One of the better Walkabout when you compare it to Angel/Shepards Bush
Good pub during the week when you want a pint cheaply. Also good for Australian sporting games shown on the tellys.

Been there for a week now, it's nice and bigger then i thought. Staff a bit moody at times but otherwise ok. quick service.
|
This is far from the worst Walkabout I'd say - Shepherd's Bush and Cambridge Circus are surely worse. That said it can get very unpleasantly crowded in here when e.g. Australian sporting events are being shown. Other than that, it's as you'd expect from a Walkabout.
|
I also have to add that the bar staff are really friendly!!!!

Absolute unrelenting hell in here - I loathe Walkabouts but this is the worst I have ever visited. Very dark interior (virtually no natural light), sticky floors, bad beer, bad drinks, bad food and the clientele are that wonderful aussie/chav combo.

Well I have to say I love walkabout at the o2 centre, we go most weeks and have a right giggle as well as dancing our socks off. Drinks are ok. Music is Fab and live bands are even better love Brooke and Jimi.

cool atmosphere on Australia day. i didnt get a fosters hat though... *sadlook* :)
no doubt, I will return!!! :)))))))
|
Man, is this place dark. Lovely day outside but go inside here and you need a torch. No turd in a glass like Shepherds Bush though so gets a point for that. Doubtful I'll return.

Australian pub, you're having a laugh and at £3.00 a pint for Guinness which wasn't even cold (so much for the Aussies liking cold beer) - most expensive drink all day despite drinking beforehand in central London. Nice to see the no smoking area was kept free of smokers - NOT! Obviously the blond in question couldn't read the 3 signs around her saying "No Smoking". Av been in a few Walkabouts in my time and this was the WORST!
