OK pub its not to far for me to venture to after work or at lunchtime. It has indeed had a refit but its still not to poncey. Good selection of lagers aswell. Can get busy at lunchtime but overall its a not bad wee pub.

I spent too long working in this area, and at least The Windmill offered some sanctuary from the braying chinless wonders and charmless barrow boys of the city.
Suggest if you can't handle a real pub then stick to the All Bar One's and the other McDonalds-style cafe-bars of this locale.
I would award 7, but they gain an extra point for authenticity.

It reopened today, refitted as an Italian wine bar - looks a lot more airy with refitted loos, couches and a chez longue.
|
Please be advised that this unnecessarily loathsome pub closed its doors for the last time on 9th February 2006, i.e. it is shut. As Thatcher once said, "Rejoice at that news!".
Its former patrons now sit outsidee on invisible chairs, necking tinnies from the cash&carry.

Who the heck are these people claiming not to be me? Anyway, its not too bad, its close to work, has cheap food ( I once got a free caterpillar!) & beer prices are ok.
|
Allegedly, I was overcharged for beer and when the barman was told he said that he knew, laughed and refused to do anything about it. Allegedly, this pub is rank and is run by scoundrels.

if your ever unsure as to quite where the square mile ends and the outside world begins,..pubs like this are a useful barometer,...no armani suited back office half monkeys in here,.hence..outside the square mile,...decent
|
solid boozer, this one. great for when you just wanna go solo. plus no one from my work would be seen dead in here, which makes it a safehouse. also does food if that's what w anks your crank.

Well I'll have to agree with the first comment on this occasion.
Late opening, no food when they did. Cold, dank, surly atmosphere.
I actually left without a drink!!
I say bring back the tattoo girl!!!
|
The previous comment is outrageous! Bar staff are not surly. It isn't cold. The radiators are always full on and belting it out. The food isn't rubbish. The bitter is not poorly kept. Who is this Arkless fellow?
|
Used to be good, but appears to be winding down for a takeover/refurb. Staff open-up when they feel like it and can be pretty obnoxious. I'd avoid it!
