Saturday ale and evening meal, Went upstairs to eat where it is quiet. Good choice of beers but cannot recommend the Sly Fox as it tastes of Ginger and I prefer my ales to taste of ale, Other beers good. Food superb, the daily special sausages were served in the biggest yorkshire puds I have seen.
|
Nicholson's pub so some decent real ale including London Pride, Landlord and the monthly guest Hyde's Jekyll's Gold which was ok but nothing special. They had a board up where you could vote for the monthly guest.
Long narrow downstairs bar area, looked like there was an upstairs room although it is one of those places where it is described as a function/dining room so you are not sure if it is always open.
|
Nicely presented pub, clean friendly and a decent selection of beers.
|
Popped in for an afternoon pint the saturday after christmas. Usual good standard of ale. Had the Adnams Yuletide which was very nice. Other half had a glass of rose that was not so good.
Still a worthwill stop just off Oxford street.
|
Nice pub, Friendly bar staff, good ale choice.
Not sure about the high tables in the bar area.
Food good and not overpriced.
Dont forget to vote on the next visiting ale while you are there.

Ok boozer just off Oxford Street. Beer quality good, and a relaxed atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon. One of the better drinking places in the area.
|
good little boozer always popular in the summer
|
Went here last night and didn't see the pool tables. Must have been binned during the refurb. Upstairs quite empty, but a nice chilled atmosphere and the lager was fine. Guess they must have swabbed the pipes during the refurb too.
|
CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR REFURBISHMENT - looks like a fairly drastic refit is taking place from what I could see peering through the door last Saturday afternoon
|
Tried to get a drink there saturday morning and it was shut, outrageous !!!
We had to take refuge in the Jack Horner
|
Loads of space upstairs (with the pool tables). However, there is meant to be a limit of 30 people, but not that anyone seems to worry :-)
Beer quality poor. Draught beer (2 different ones) slightly tainted, going off. Even the keg lager the same, as if someone 'forgot' to properly clean the beerlines out. Not good. Wine was fine thou!
|
Nice. Plenty of room without feeling too big. Jukebox, games, pool or a relatively quiet corner to chat, this place has a little of everything.
|
This is an average London pub, but gets a better score because the beer is reasonably cheap, they have pool tables upstairs and best of all they show most big sporting events.

Good Pub. But unfortunately, my best mate's girlfriend had her handbag nicked from there on Friday. Don't stand next to the Quiz and fruit machine, downstairs opposite the Bar. The 2 CCT cameras are directly above pointing in opposite directions.

used to be ace. now not quite so good (the old jukebox selection was smart). but still ok. lively.
|
Used to drink back here in 1999 all the time, when a few of us went round after finishing work at the berners hotel. Used to be a great pub

Seemed to be under new management when we visited back in December. No more happy hour every day. Instead there different drinks offers, (similar to those in the Falcon by Clapham Junction, if that means anything to anyone) - cheap Carling, 2 for 1 on selected bottles, that kind of thing. Not sure how much else has changed. Hopefully they've got rid of that karaoke though.

good pub which sells some drinks at lower prices depending on where the arrow points to on the wheel! A place to go to before a club. Often too crowded so standing outside happens alot. Next door to The Office bar.

Brilliant Service Excellent Very Busy but served immediately(ManUtd v R Madrid) can see TV Screen from any position... (Previously tried Tottenham less customers but no bar staff no service a real tip)

Excellent pub for watching football as they have all digital channels and on nights when there are 2 games on simultaeneously - they show both! One upstairs the other downstairs. With monitors every where its a great pub for the footy!

Since this visit, there are now regular djs on Fridays, (I'm one of them, heh, heh) - improved Friday drinks promotions, and a new Sunday chillout club with board games and ... yes ... djs again. So what are you waiting for?

I still find it hard to believe this pub exists. Steps away from Oxford St and v close to Soho, yet it has pool tables (yes that was in the plural!) and a happy hour in the evening, every evening. And what's this? Special drinks deals on *Friday* nights? Unbelievable. Just don't tell anybody, OK?

Ooooh the lights are out again, just like in the 2001 photo above! I must say, I am rather looking forward to the beerintheevening 2002 Chrimbo pub crawl, largely coz it ends up in this splendid place.
|
I wasn't impressed. A bog standard selection of beers. Got a few pool tables but that's about all it's got going for it.

Fondly known as The Bladdered Stallion by me and my mates, it is a great location for Friday night carnage. Good atmosphere, good prices, good music - stumble out the door, cashpoint next door, grab a mate and head round the corner to one of the deliciously trashy Soho nightclubs.

Loz - it was the 21st December, not the 31st. But then you were wasted...

A glorious, nay magical public house. My fondest memory of this pub is playing bauble tennis with a random mentalist girl on New Year's Eve using our foreheads as rackets. Were you that opponent? Was your head in agony twice over the morning after? Fancy a rematch in 2002? This pub is very cheap in happy hour, suffers from very few tourists, and is frankly a brilliant boozer.

If the plumbing in the gents loo isn't musical, you're in the wrong pub.
Top place.

This place has everything. Water-fights, V cheap drink (£1 on fridays!!!!) and good-looking bar maids! This was the best introduction to England that I could have (Much better than London castle) Thanks Mel

The best 'real' pub in Central London. Justin (The Landlord) & his staff always have warm welcome waiting. Real beer, real people, real football. What more do you want? The icing on the cake, cheep beer. If only there were more pubs like this instead of all the 'so-called' tendy bars around.
Richard - 24 May 2002 11:42 |
Cheap cheap beer - pool tables galore - possiblly one of my favourites bars in London
Jonny Shock - 23 May 2002 15:35 |
Genius! :-)

Happy House how do I love thee? Let me count the ways! 8:30-9:30 Friday nights, everything between £1 and £1.70. If drinking was a religion this place would be Mecca and Vatican City rolled into one.

this is a great pub. weird the way it's super crowded on a friday yet we always seem to manage to get a seat. staropramen is, of course, to be avoided on school nights.
