please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
I was going to write a steaming rhetoric of how terrible this place is, why pubs liek this shouldn't exist, and bemoan the lack of decent beer emporiums in the Old Street area.
However since this is not the worst pub in the area, I score it 0.75 - roudned up to 1. Because at least I can get served there on nights other than Friday, Thursday, Wednesday, or Monday.
So there. It's not a load of fegging spit after all

Dead during the week, even worse at the weekend if it is actually open. On two occasions have seen two mice at the same time running around at the end of the night. Have never got any "food" from there for that reason.
Friday nights have the usual city types getting off their face and builds a rather unpleasant environment for those out for a relaxing pint.
The beer isn't that great either if you can actually get served without waiting half an hour at busy times, and for the recent Liverpool v Marseille match they didn't put it on until almost 10 minutes into the game even though it was advertised as being on.
Oh, and they had a fully decorated and lit Christmas tree up at the end of September.

Nothing special, but I obviously picked a better time to visit that those described below. Some reasonable window seats, but most of the interior looks very gloomy. Six hand pumps, but all had London Pride clips!
|
Went to meet up with Liverpool fans for the Chelsea game. Dreadful pub. No atmosphere. Understaffed. Took 30 minutes to get served. Beer was awful.
|
Awful place. Poor service at the bar and in need of a major refurb.

This isnt too bad for a Weatherspoons pub (I will duck before someone throws something at me!). Its big, got TVs/music, never been too rammed when I have been in there.
The only annoying thing is the flies which hover around your drinks all the time - or maybe they are hovering around me!
Cheap and convenient - what you'd expect from JDWs.

during the day its just unpleasent, but after the sun goes down it becomes pretty horrible with alco-popping yoofs; the back part of it reminds me of the "bar" on the ferry to holland. Help!

Wasn't bad for a qucik drink after work. Wouldn't make a habit of it though...
|
Ales can be okay or just plain off, okay for a quick one on the way past or to meet up after work for a brief chat.

Litten Tree = Wetherspoons + TV - OAPs
If you dribble at the thought of cheap beer and dislike television then grab your walking stick and head the 4 yards next door

No, the food is appalling. Had the misfortune of stumbling in here for lunch a few weeks back when working off my manor. Food took almost an hour to arrive (no exaggeration), and the place was near dead. When it did turn up, my shrivelled greyburger was straight out of a Captain Birdseye frozen burger box, half cooked of course. Cold chips. Drank my flat beer and watched two disappointed punters from opposite table have their food sent back also. Complained upon exit, staff didn't care. What a shame this hole isn't my local.
|
The foods not that bad, but I wouldn't be seen dead in here after lunchtime, its all a bit hooded top in here of an evening.
|
Awful like Wetherspoons. large amounts of grubby carpet and unfortunate individuals.
|
like all litten tree pubs, this is a poor man's weatherspoons.
|
Good for 5 or 6 after the gym on Bunhill Row,...
|
Top place to go to start a drink up, only 1.50 a drink and there is always a dj there playing the best of all old and new.
