user reviews of the Surprise at Pimlico, Pimlico

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Have always thought this place should be renamed "The Shock" Its certainly not a pleasant surprise. Certainly is a locals pub and they're not friendly at all. The gents loos are equally as bad as any in the area. Badly kept IPA and no other ales. Where's the minus rating on this thing??

Unless you are a local or have a riot shield don't even think about going in.

The only surprise about this place is that it's still in business - though after the smoking ban comes in it probably won't last too long. Hopefully.

This is my regular back up dart pub when the cardinal is packed full of non darters or students. A healthy amount of maximums have been hit and a high check out of 156 against one of my long standing practise partners "The Seasoner". Annoying that the oche isn't marked though.

Very much a "locals" pub. Extremely smokey when we were there.

OK dartboard though the lack of any marks on the floor to show where to throw from is a bit of a problem. Beer OK.

Reasonable pub where you can get a perfectly acceptable pint of Greene King IPA. Attracts mostly a local clientele.

When you've got a cracker of a barmaid like Ola who cares about the beer.

Not bad. Was much better a few years ago, both in clientelle and staff.

I think previous post ia a bit harsh, go in there often for a pint and to watch the football. dont really see any nutters, just the cockney chavs from nearby estates.
Also there is a cracking little polish girl working behind the bar.
Its just a proper boozer, not like some poncy ones in Pimlico

This pub is next door to a psychiatric hospital and the patients form the majority of the customer base. There are better pubs in the area. Avoid!!!
