This pub has always had a bit of an odd feeling. Its such a shame to see the wall paper peeling off the walls and the shabby decor. When we visited we chose to have a couple of pints of larger, we asked if it possible to have some beer mats but was told "No", its not the bar policy. The beer was terrible so we left it. Everyone seemed to be drinking tea and reading newspapers, like a student rest room. The bar & tables were unclean & sticky. Nobody cleaned while we were there. They obviously serve food, Saw him in the toilets with his Chefs whites on......Yuk. What we want is a clean pub with good beer and a spark of interest and concern from staff.

Don't know what to make of this place - decor slightly at odds with itself.
An OK but not unusual choice of European beers as mentioned elsewhere.
Two cask ales on - Old Speckled Hen and Adnams Broadside - the Broadside was pretty poor and since we don't like the OSH we left to try somewhere else in the Paddington area...

Nice place, been twice, had nice reasonable food too, would go back...
|
Thought the decor was a bit strange, but the place has a nice atmosphere and was pretty comfortable.
Impressive and interesting range of beers on tap - Franziskaner Weissbier, Kupper's Kolsch, Sleemans Honey Brown Lager, Hoegaarden, Leffe, Bellevue Kriek and 3 real ales (one was Old Speckled Hen, but can't think of the others)all in good nick and served in the proper glasses.
The comedy club upstairs is definitely worth a look too. Good stuff.

Great little pub - try the comedy club upstairs - a tenner for a great laugh. good beer, food good, great atmosphere
|
Good beer but rammed pub, not helped by the closure of the beer garden on my visit. I bet it's quite good during mid afternoon when there are fewer people there.
|
Good location just by Little Venice. Short walk from Paddington Station but seems miles away in atmosphere.
|
LOL about the toilet curtains.
|
not sure what the theatre curtains around the toilets are all about. i was expecting to come out to a post piss round of applause...
|
Great burgers, (8oz Angus steak) a bit much for my wife but luckily I was feeling hungary.
|
Favourite Maida Vale bar at the moment. Relaxed atmosphere, good food, friendly staff.

The fmaed Bridge House Pub, where so many new wave bands of the early eighties performed

Very nice pub, not a lot of space but nice atmosphere and lovely location in Little Venice. Now run by Tracey (ex of the Auctioneer, Greenwich) which has received some rather unfair criticism on here. Not been to the theatre upstairs but I hear it's good of an evening. 7/10
