One of the better City pubs. Good selection of ales and reasonably priced for the area.
|
Cannot say highly enough STAY AWAY from the Restraunt.. Absoloutly the worst meal we have ever experienced and for the high price also... We thought we were on Candid Camera it was so Bad!!
we've hada pint downstairs in the onsite Keats at the Globe which is tolreable. The rest of the place is like a bad inner citys 1970's place and i can see no redeeming features whatsoever.
|
Quick one here on Friday and it's no better - loud and City prices.
Not worth the bother quite frankly
|
Popped into the Keats bar while passing through Moorgate, and Nicholson's pulled one of their best ones (not a pint, unfortunately, but the great disappearing bar staff trick - just vanished, with a big queue of thirsty punters at 6 pm). Went through to the main part of the Globe to get a so-so pint of Timothy Taylor's Landlord (what do they do the beer in these places?).
|
Barstaff are completely oblivious to any order of serving. As reported before it pays to be the loudest and wave money about. Tubby guy in his late 30's especially rude, consistantly gets orders incorrect and then wants to give you an argument about it. Could be good. Nice location, great space outside in the summer, it evan has grass to sit on and actually has a nice feel inside when it's not full of shouty city suits.

I like this pub, its a good City pub and is better now than it has been for a while. It's always busy because its so popular, sometimes there's a wait to be served, but it is worth the wait. Good pint and a good atmosphere.

I agree with previous, I had better service from a 25 year old Capri and its engine oil would taste better than the swill they serve here.
|
I wondered how this place made money until my colleague caught the barman pouring slops into his pint. Don't go here if you're in a hurry to get home from Moorgate. Waving a twenty pound over someone waiting paitently appears to be the bar etiquette here and the (mostly foreign) barstaff are happy reward rudeness. Given the choice of other bars in the area anyewhere else would be preferable. Avoid like the plague.

standard Nicholsons City pub. As the last writer said Ok but nothing special
|
Nothing to write home about either way. Had to send a round of Tomothy Taylors back as they all tasted of pipe cleaner, but the replacement spitfires weren't bad. No real atmosphere to speak of, but equally nothing to damn the place either.
|
Every time I go in here it's deafening (conversation not music) - never stayed for more than one or two. Just another bland City pub - not much wrong but not a great deal to attract either
|
unpretentious Nicholsons pub close to Moorgate tube, friendly service - mediocre ales, expensive crap food (but its moorgate) dont suppose you can expect any more around here.
|
Not bad! Good pint of Pride before facing the crush @ Moorgate

Not Bad, Had A Decent Pint Of Timothy T's Landlord. 7/10
|
Somewhat better than a punch in the face. Lovely pint of Fullers Discovery. They had a couple of microbrews on hand pump but neither appealed. Service was ok. Wouldn't fancy spending time inside but it wasn't so bad I suppose. Sat here on a sunny afternoon with a mate drinking on the grass outside on the junction of London Wall and Moorgate and to be honest it was ok.
STANDAD.

Service certainly lacked a smile when I popped in on Friday night. Shoddy pints and pushy punters a plenty. Nowhere to sit. Horrible.
|
Always busy and pretty dingy... Not bad before a night out though...
|
Keats bar a dingy boozer which does offer a reasonable pint at a sensible price but not much else!The main Globe bar is a least light and airy and attracts a younger clientele with a wider selection of draught beers, but like the Keats bar lacks any atmosphere. Not the greatest of pubs but the best of a poor bunch in area and certainly preferable to either the Scottish Pound or Rack and Tenter.
|
There are plenty of shockingly bad pubs in the city but this one plumbs depths the others can only dream of. Go on the wagon before wasting precious time drinking in this place.
|
Bloody packed - don't know why bit of a shambles ?
|
Not bad. Very busy on a Friday evening - the barmaid consistently managed to choose the time when the bar was most busy to clear ashtrays.
|
Convenient,..and pool upstairs,..its gotta be on any city boozehounds circuit,...oh and theres a nutty barmaid in there at the moment (Keats side mostly) sporting half an ear...
|
Poor service!

This has to be one of the Worst bars in the City. Over priced and terrible service.

It's an odd place that lacks an real atmosphere and has very dappy bar staff, most of whom forget you gave them money for a round or that they have or have not given you your change. Guiness is not bad tho.

I had a party one evening earlier in the month, which turned out a great success. The room and dj were provided free of charge (contrary to most places around). The food and service was great, there was also drinks on promotion offered to us. Had a great time. Will definitely be back. Thanks.

I've had some great times in this place. Don't agree with comments earlier. Food was well cooked although a little pricy. Staff very hospitable.

This kind of pub makes me pissed off with this country. A pint of black currant and lemonade for £2.80! And my friends pie and mash was truly awful. Never, never again.
|
Very poor. Ordered steak pie for £8 and got v.small pie with uncooked pastry and almost no meat. Service is very slow with only two staff on hand at lunchtime

This place sucks... bad food, overpriced drinks, and non-existent service add up to make this a hole well worth avoiding. That said, I do go there at least once a week and always thoroughly regret it....

Great place, good atmosphere fiendly staff. The manager was a really nice bloke. I had a delicious lunch there today and was really looked after by him. A bit expensive but I would definately return.
