nice relaxing pub handy as a warm up b4 entering artillery passage-gorfeous french barmaid-i think you will find that the middle east is part of the continent of asia-so he can actually be described as asian!

On the down side, the KS isn't what you'd probably want from a City boozer. It lacks character and you could imgine you're in any town centre pub once inside.
Having said that, the staff are good, and the couple who run it are very friendly and always go out of their way to help you (to the poster below - the 'Asian' is Middle-Eastern). Food is standard fare, but priced OK, and never had a bad pint.
You won't go there for the 'experience', but there's a lot worse.

One of the most uninspiring pubs i've ever been in, really dull !!
The Asian chap behind the bar was nice enough, as was the two pints of London Glory i had, but don't think i'll be rushing back.

Slightly bland looking wine bar style place - shame given the history of the area - unfortunately went about 6pm on a Thursday and it was so packed you could hardly see your drink let alone the decor etc - but got served quickly and had a good range of beers etc.
|
Usual GK fair but the IPA was OK. The bland sterile interior is not my cup of tea but packed with after work City workers who obviously didn't mind.
The open set up makes it very noisy when busy , so only stayed for the one.
OK pub, but there are better in the close vicinity in my humble opinion.

Stopped off here when in the area the barstaff were always friendly very good service the real ales on when I called in always clear and very drinkable.
|
One has just returned from sampling a couple of Speckled Hens from this establishment, an have to say it was rather good.
|
Just horrible .................
|
Not a bad pub ..the landlord is a friendly chap and his wife is lovely.
We like drinking outside in the summer and enjoy people watching( young trendy types with floppy heads (jeans round there ankles, pants showing,got dressed in the dark look )
This pub is not bad but they are not big on real ales.....
|
I won't lie to you I like a nice tuna sandwich !
Washed down with a couple of pints of Stella
Try it it was lush !

People afraid of catching MRSA at the Royal London Hospital should ask to have their operations done here, such is the sterile atmosphere of the place. Egg-white walls, bright lighting, easy-wipe surfaces (no carpets, hard-wood seats) - the place has about as much atmosphere are Mars. Don't expect a seat either, they keep tables and chairs to a minimum, as it would hinder their pack-em-in policy. Imagine city workers packed at the bar, like pigs packed at a water trough in a barn, and you've got this place. Terrible.
|
Quite possibly the worst pub in the world
|
Crap IPA, end of the barrel and they didnt want to change it, kept serving the same crap to the other customers..... It was limp and lifeless and obviously not right but still they served it....

Paid my first visit last Friday for some time and was greeted by a bloke smashing the quiz machine. Only one real ale on and that was below par. Will be a while before i visit again. Go to the Shooting Star instead.

Suffered from the notorious pub makeover this one - it's ok but there are better pubs in the immediate vicinity.
I spent a lot of time in this one in the early 90s drinking Moosehead and generally getting rat arsed on a Friday night but it's not the pub it used to be that's for sure

Role Playing Cub (Dungeons and Dragons) meets upstairs here every Wednesday night from 6pm, 7pm or so.

Has changed a lot over the last 4 months. A bit guff now I have to say. Jason the barman is a laugh. A small, balding laugh. But the pub has lost its mojo. Better pubs around this area.
|
Nice pub, easy going nice atmosphere for a city drinking hole.
|
Dodgy beer, not worth going to. Much better places nearby, eg. Dirty Dicks.
|
Great Pizza in this pub... worth a visit just for that
