Full of bevied up ozzies in tank tops kicking seven shades out of each other. Why would anyone else come here?
QueensParker - 6 Oct 2013 04:29
Stinking dive. The sooner this place goes the same way as the redback the better.

The Shepherds Bush Walkabout is not just for the ex-pats of Oceania, although if you are feeling a little homesick this is the place to be. The atmosphere is incredibly friendly and good times are guaranteed every day of the week. The meals are cheap, delicious and will taste like Australia in your mouth! The beers are always flowing and can be made 20% cheaper with a Boomerang card (a very wise investment)

Everywhere you look there is a plasma TV. One of the best places for watching live sport in London and if you cant see a TV you are either vertically challenged or are staring at the ceiling from a few too many snakebites. Sunday sessions are compulsory and are a crazy fun way to end the weekend!

Its the beers and fun friendly atmosphere that will be bring us back to spend Christmas day here with mates and a Roast Dinner. Can not wait!!

BBC today reported that on 18/04/11 this pub was the scene of a brawl involving Wasp's rugby players and football fans.

wirraldrinker - 21 Apr 2011 16:32
I was there last week. Had a good time the que wasn't to bad which was suprising since it is a walkabout. Wouldn't go every week but once in a while maybe.
Adam105 - 24 Oct 2009 23:54
They need better bands they all pretty same old and they play the same boring crap month in month out.

Get some new blood in there me thinks.

How can you say the bands are good in there after 10 minutes of centrefold, mustang sally and brown eyed girl we left.

Haven't these bands ever heard of the Kings of Leon or the chilli peppers we are in 2010 not 1980.
Musiclover81 - 24 Sep 2009 16:29
I have the dubious honour of being the first person to be served a pint in this place when it first opened on a Sunday afternoon back in April 1998. I have been many many times since and the place is fine for a loud bashing drunken drinkup, but only if you dont mind people bumping into and pushing you over to get past you. - Yes it gets so full you cannot move easily. The toilets as other have pointed out are dirty and they are basically just a mix up - men walk into the womens and vice-versa. It is quite disorganised and casual in that aspect.

The music can be good at weekends with many live bands performing, however they do have some very lewd stage acts performed sometimes which are outrageous and could easily cause offence to those not 'initiated'. The bouncers are mean, but they do have enough fights in there to necesitate quite a substantial security presence in that place.

It is a good place to watch sport - dont bother going on a Wednesday night if you do not enjoy football. I would go back to this place, but I have probably grown out of it by now. It is for the twenty-somethings who want to get sozzled on cheap booze while dancing to loud music.

It can be fun though.
RAGING_ALCOHOLIC - 30 Apr 2009 21:02
The best thing about this place is that it gives the rest of Australians (like myself) very little to live up to. Can you have a good time here? Yes, but you can't be at all worried about getting beer spilt on you, or the prevalence of Aussie c*ck rock. It is full of all those so called "real Aussies" who have no bloody idea, and make the rest the rest of us cringe. But you can just ignore them.

For most Aussies, it's a place of shame, that we've all been to, even if just to experience it for yourself. I would go back, but only if someone else organised to go there. But I would only ever go there with a largeish group of people I already knew.
CJC1 - 15 May 2008 12:03
This place is an absolute disaster. And the Aussie and Kiwi patrons are even worse. The scume of these antipodean countries travel to the other side of the globe so that they can congregate with like minded animals that cannot handle their alcohol and then act like right morons. Some of the activities you will regularly see include:
Punters releasing bodily fluids in an inappropriate manner including
faeces (being excreted on the floor)
urine (being released into a pint glass)
vomit
sperm.
And the worse thing is hearing these idiots slagging off England, London and other people. If you don't like it piss off.

Chav__man - 12 Apr 2008 14:57
Random Ranger gets it spot on. I've been in here a few times, at various times of the day, as I used to work in The Bush.
First visit was a week day lunchtime. Had food. Not bad. Not great either.
Doormen are scum. Really rude, aggressive & menacing.
Been in on the odd evening with some (educated) Aussie mates. They hate it too, but like a few people have posted, you have to see it to believe it.
The urinating, various unpleasant smells, blokes in "thongs" and "board-short" in the middle of winter, it's all true.
A particular favourite is the disregard the regular patrons have for the area. Guys throwing rubbish in the street outside, and their response? "Why should I care? It's not my country, mate." Classy.
Graam - 27 Feb 2008 16:28
New Menu is AWESOME. Food was absolutely fantastic, I couldn't believe we ordered food here but once it came out and we ate it, I'd go back.

Forget all the crappy postings that have appeared here previously, someone somewhere has actually started to do something to make this place bearable.

Oh, and they have Kopperberg Pear Cider too!! That stuff rocks!!!
aussiebeersrbest - 30 Jul 2007 17:14
Indeed, an awful rat's nest.

I'm always suspicious of places that enforce a 'them and us' mentality as seen in the delightful post below: "If you don't enjoy the Walky then don't go coz we don't want you there". What a foul stinking pit. Leave this place to the slobs that like it and stay far far away.
drinksandcanapes - 26 Jul 2007 13:00
I'm not remotely picky as to where I drink but this place is the tattered festering rectum of the Shepherds Bush pub scene. If you can ignore the stench coming from the crappers you'll possibly smell the dank stench of desperation to have a "wild night" pervading the place like a smog. You'll get more polite and erudite company if you go over the road and sit with the tramps and winos on the green. You're probably less likely to get soaked in piss at any rate.

Phrase you're least likely to hear: "I don't need to be drunk to have a good time you know..."
random_ranger - 30 Jun 2007 23:47
No matter what time of the day or night you are sure to find drunks falling out of this place. They don't seem to care too much about their customers so long as they keep the tills hopping. Do they ever think about the safety of the customer ? I don't think so. Rotten place. The Bush could do without it
spotcheck - 23 Apr 2007 19:25
Haven`t been for a while but can see how people love it and others hate it. Its a little overwhelming if you go in sober but if you`ve had a few you can have a brilliant night.The toilets are appalling and without sounding like an angry whinging pom it is annoying having some aussie stereotype barging into you, but hey,, when in Rome .Find it kind of amusing people moaning about an aussie pub in the worlds most cosmopolitan city
TSW - 18 Jan 2007 20:12
I agree with Stevecrock. If you don't enjoy the Walky then don't go coz we don't want you there. From the moment I landed in London I have been a Walky fan. I have drunk there, worked there, lived there, loved there (can't deny it!!) and met some of the best people in the world there (not all of them Aussies or Kiwi's either). To complain about being bumped by the rude Aussies who don't say excuse me, you are obviously one of the angry POMS who like to come in and start fights when they get a little bit of drink spilt on them. FYI this is not a classy sit down have a cocktail pub. This is where you come to be yourself, talk to people who don't give a sh*t about what you look like, don't care if your clothes are trendy and don't care where you are from. This is the place you come to when you know nobody and you walk out with a group of mates. Why leave the 'W' there's no better pub than the SheBu Walkbout.
Kay_Kay - 18 Jan 2007 15:41
Hey i say if ya cant handle the stay out off the kitchen? Gees thats what the walki is all about go in have an awsome sloppey time,meet other awsome travelers (hay from all over the world) and thats just it ya can get away with more things than a boring quite pub.And dont get me started? if theirs sport on the walki always has it
I REAKEN GO THE WALKI AND OTHERS PROBLY FEEL THE SAME... U HOMLESS F.
stevecrock - 18 Jan 2007 15:03
I've always made a point of avoiding the Walkabout but as a good mate of mine was going back to Perth I made a visit last Sunday. My first impression was even worse than expected, the smell of vomit (think the Bog of Eternal Stench from The Labyryth) hits you in the face and you'll be in serious danger of losing a shoe on the sticky floor. My girlfriend was followed to the toilet by a drunken man thrusting his hips (one of many).

Whilst waiting for a drink with a friend who had been waiting for 15 minutes to get served. He rolled his eyes at me when someone jumped infront of him and got served. The barmaid, noticing this, took exception and refused to serve him. When I did eventually get a few drinks down and the music was pumping I had a good time with my mates.

At the end of the day it's pretty obvious: if you want to have a good time here (or even tolerate it) you need to go with a group of mates and turn up steaming drunk. You could even end up having a memorable night. Not fro me though
ChrisBass - 7 Nov 2006 11:41
LOVE IT!!!! Best place on Sunday arvos after a session at the church
bondiem - 3 Aug 2006 01:40
Dirty pub noisey unfriendly staff drinks at high prices why is this place still open!
brewerbloke - 17 Jun 2006 13:35
Agree with Chav_man about the urinating at closing time.
Hard_pork - 17 Jun 2006 13:30
There are some very ropey pubs/bars in this area this dump lives up to that expectancy.
juzza - 14 Jun 2006 12:31
I can't imagine anything more horrific and unpleasant as spending a second in this faux-Australian theme bar (owned by a bloody British company) packed to the rafters with Australians, who, rather like the Walkabaout chain, seem to have clogged this city with blandness.

It was good to see all of them traipse out after England crushed them in the Rubgy World Cup a few years ago.

That said though, beer and food is reasonably priced.
anonymous - 14 Jun 2006 12:24
Shepherds Bush Walky is an experience that HAS to be had in London. A place to see your fellow countrymen and women really make Australia proud! It's a given that you have to be pissed when you arrive otherwise you just don't get it. Just remember, leave the camera at the hostel, wear covered shoes and don't wear anything white!!
i_like_pubs - 6 Jun 2006 11:00
Unfortunately has gone down-hill... the trouble is you have to ask if its because the original appeal has worn off or the place has declined over time...

In this case i think its the latter. This place has always had its down-comings. Yep can relate to the toilets, sess-pit. Floor is wet and muddy. And when it is packed, its tight to do a 'walkabout' and you get bashed around.

However, its always been the way of this place (in the 3-4 years ive been coming here) and as such it is acepted. Its normally the type of place you come to after a few drinks elsewhere too.

The 'decline' though is back when I started going here, the bands were better and the place was more alive. The upstairs bar used to go in a circle around the centre, instead of along the back wall (it was better back then)

Now a medicre experience, once upon a time used to be the original Walkabout for me before they started springing up everywhere!
the_original_rawnsleys - 26 May 2006 16:19
Bands are very variable. About a month ago there was one called SHINE (I think) who had a v good female singer, but then when I was in a couple of weeks ago the DJ was singing and his band were crap. Make sure you have had at least 5 pints before you arrive so you are immune from all of the grot mentioned below. Must consume half of the blackcurrant cordial in London. Am looking forward to watching the Socceroos lose in Germany here!
anonymous - 24 May 2006 15:10
Very true about those aussie meatheads bumping into you, the minute you get your snakebite from the bar you have to take a couple of gulps to give yourself leeway for some inevitable bumping or it goes all over you.

Nowhere else in town will be as packed or as much fun as the Walkabout early Sunday evening. Good place to go if you are already a bit sozzled.
Normal_seasoned_drinker - 19 May 2006 13:27
Got to agree with Hard_pork about the toilets and sandwiches
Chav_man - 11 May 2006 13:43
Wish the management would start getting some decent bands back in there.The place is dead.What happend to East of Java?They should also take a look at the younger better version of Java called UNDISCOVERED,Proberly the best live covers band in London..Us punters wont put up with rubbish acts for much longer.Get some decent bands back or its the Redback for me & all my mates...
anonymous - 2 May 2006 12:57
Went to the sunday session, absolutely crap. Being aussie this place should not be open. Who in hells name came up with this theme. Sad. The toilets are a health hazzard and the band . . . what band? Some turkeys with instruments around there necks, couldn't understand most of the music, we left after one beer and went next door to O'Neils.
The bar staff were a lot better as well.
maybe just a off session at the w.a.b.
anonymous - 1 May 2006 13:13
Clearly this pub is loathed by a lot of English people or loved my most other people.

Some of the best Sunday nights of my time in London were at the Shep Bush Walkie (end of May Bank Holiday 2003 was a classic) - but I guess if you have a large network of friends it is easy to have a good time. The bogs are the worst in London...floating turds etc, saw some dodgy guy eating a sh it sandwich one time.

Snake bite Sunday - best summer afternoon drinking sessions in the world I would think. In winter not quite so inviting. Hoping for more of the same carnage when I visit in July this year.
Hard_pork - 20 Apr 2006 12:47
had some good nights here, can never get used to pissed up aussies pushing past you though, we say excuse me in England
TSW - 22 Mar 2006 22:30
Probably the worst pub in London. The people there are on a different planet. The main attraction is Sunday where you'll find the true slappers trying to get laid for the third night in a row. This results in an aggressive atmosphere where the guys make their mating signals by acting loud. After closing you'll see the unsuccessful punters getting into fights, vomiting, defecating and urinating etc. If you want to see the worse of the worse - then check this place out
Chav_man - 9 Mar 2006 16:25
Wasn't too busy when I went there, so it was a nice relaxing place to have a couple of bottle of tooheys. I imagine on weekends and evenings it could get pretty gross.
McDrunk - 4 Mar 2006 11:50
I disagree. . its crap. The theme is Oz, the bands playing there were rubbish.Being Ozzie, I wanted to listen to at least some ozzie songs, instead some useless band trying to sing and play and making a right idiot of them selves. We wont be back . . .
wahanui - 19 Oct 2005 22:47
Watched the Australian NRL grand final there. No worries, good atmosphere, bit small for bigger functions like that, but no problems. Did not stink of piss...everyone friendly.
Brizzo - 17 Oct 2005 17:47
Stank of piss.

Very cheap, the 4x was excellent, the staff nice, good band on and the clientelle freindly....

but on the other hand it stank of piss
sharpe - 6 Oct 2005 10:44
Walkabout Shepherds Bush is a great place to go if you are looking for a fun night without any hassles. The bar staff are awesome, very friendly.

This is a great place for all people to have a fun, crazy night..
happypunter - 12 Sep 2005 14:19
After the bouncers told us not to piss against the counter and one of the lads saw a shit in a pint glass in the bogs, we decided against staying.
anonymous - 16 Aug 2005 16:20
thank god for the walkie! having travelled the world, most of its patrons realize its no palace, but when your done with pretentious inner city wine w*nks, ridiculous cues and high entry prices at least you know you where to find a snakebite waiting, friendly smiles and a bunch of people who havent forgotten how to have fun.
chiaz - 16 Aug 2005 16:12
Have been twice

First time, big group of mates, friday night, lots to drink, cheesy music, live band, foam party, fantastic night.

Next time, friday again, a couple of mates, a couple of drinks, and it was absolutely awfull, left pretty quickly

so i guess it's a place to go in big numbers, allready well on way to drunkeness and hope for the best.
downthepub - 16 Jun 2005 13:13
Everybody needs a bit of Walky now & then.

At least you know where you stand with this place. If you don't like it then piss off to the nearest All Bar One.

Thank god it isn't one of the cheesy places that gives you your change on a tray & expect a tip! WHY?? Nobody tips me for doing my job!!
I also noticed they didn't have a guy hanging around the gents trying to give you soap, aftershave, mints....I HATE THAT SO MUCH!!


BeerGuru - 27 Apr 2005 19:45
A shithole.

It's places like this that give drinking in London a bad name!
CheekyShepherd - 27 Apr 2005 13:59
Totally agree with the 'anonymous's' comment on 26 Feb 05.
Dory - 27 Apr 2005 13:48
The comments below just about sum it up really!
anonymous - 21 Mar 2005 22:07
YER WHAT! SHEY BU! This place rocks - first time last week - and im there with bells on every Sunday getting racked up to fook....
Monkey_Byrne - 9 Mar 2005 12:01
Hy u guy below... what is with u? Walky is great!! keep that in ur mind!!!! u can see such bingedrinkers everywhere in every pub!! Walky has good music, lots of easygoing people in there (u seem to me to b exactly the opposite....) and furthermore snakies are delicious!! and if somebody has to piss he has to piss wherever he is! no bad comments about the walkabout!!!
rockabout - 1 Mar 2005 12:47
Not my idea of a pub or a night out at all and as for the behaviour of some of its customers at closing time!! I have been a few times to this place and whereas it's very busy and packed with loud music it's what happens later in the night that is the problem! Drunken people (slaughtered in fact) fighting or throwing up, the toilets a mess (big style).....and just the general feeling that someone is going to do something childlike like tip a pint over your head in the name of a game when you dont even know that person!! The numbers that urinate in the streets is shocking as well....I have even witnessed on two occasions females (I wont use the term ladies) crouching in the street and swaying at the same time why they relieve themselves slurring as they do so!! Yuk.......whats this place doing in pub guide....it is not what is known as a pub!!
anonymous - 26 Feb 2005 11:26
hey guys! how r u goin? we are SITTING! :-) this walkabout ROCKS! We looooooove it so much and snakies are the BEST! We always have freaky fridays there - BUT also saturdays, sundays....when does it stop?? :-)NEVER EVER! We always will be walkies friend, our stay long! PROST and CHEERS to all austr(al)ians!
See u there!
austrianchicks - 22 Feb 2005 13:17
I'm a QPR fan too and the one time I went there I found a turd in a pint glass in the bogs. Never again.
Lyncroft - 4 Dec 2004 23:59
Errr I don't think the last comment was actually for this pub.. any lease will be extended as it is the best-performing Walky in the region, Big Scotty who runs the place makes a killing every week. I try and limit my Shey Bu Walky attendance to once a month max (was more when I lived in the area and the crew wanted to get maggot there every week) but I must admit I do enjoy getting loose there with a like-minded bunch of people all there for a good time without any pretention. Where else can you chop Snakies like there's no tomorrow while dancing around in thongs (flip-flops to the welcome British who join us there) after watching a plethora of different sports on the screens, while your mate smashes plastic pint glasses on your shoulder in the name of a laugh? Don't glam up and don't be afraid of getting a little spillage on your toes, it happens. Don't bother with the draw on Thursday nights though cause it's a sham to get you to stay there til midnight. Hey Pete Bro?

Oh and the bouncers are much friendlier than the imported heavy-handers at the Redback in Acton (toilet of a place by the way)
owenontour - 26 Nov 2004 14:42
but i'm in the know -the lease is running out -what will we do? renew it or demolish ugly building and replace with hugh grant types-mmmm tough choice-hugh wins -sorry pikies no more drinks to be drunk here-back to chavbury. Well hello Hugh-ding dong as they say.
Holland Park Queen - 18 Nov 2004 18:07
I really like it there. Everyone's really fun and friendly and you can meet up with likeminded people. Stop being horrid about the one-and-only walkabout. It's just like being in oz
David Kerby - 18 Sep 2004 15:44
THAT'S THE BEST PLACE EVER! FRIDAY NIGHT IS EVERYTHING. I WISH I COULD GO THERE LIKE FOREVER!
CRISTIANO - 17 Sep 2004 04:17
Awful. And yet I still go there about once a year. The curse of being a QPR fan.

My god, it's awful.
travis - 3 Sep 2004 11:23
If your up for an absolute riot then this is the place for you.
The Sheilas are a bit too "get-your-boobs-out-for-the-lads then puke on your shoes" for this chin stroker.

But if you dont mind getting down and dirty or fancy seeing the closing time "circus",
get your crustiest gear on and get on down!
Riz - 4 Jul 2004 12:26
The perfect place for neanderthals who think that anyone who goes into a pub to socialise as oppossed to going in order to throw up, pull Sheilas and hear music so loud you cant talk all night are "chin strokers"
However, if you are a "chin stroker" and would like to have a great night listening to music inj an enviroment devoid of vomit go to fabric or the cross instead
matt - 28 Jun 2004 15:00
If you want a great atmosphere where the beer flows, the music pumps, the chicks have great whammies and the peeps just wanna have a good time without all the "look at me" w*nk , then the walkie shebu is where you wanna head. Sure the floors dirty and the loos are crud, but if your gonna let that ruin your night, go home to grandmas!

Pretentious chin strokers need not apply.

TEAR IT UP!
Rick-amortous - 18 Jun 2004 14:22
Wanna party? This is the place! Loud music, firendly people, cheap drinks...dirty toilets, sticky floors, spilled beer. It's up to you...
Dave - 11 May 2004 13:36
all the times that I went there I felt very happy. I tried to went in ehen I was sat, after I opened the door.. in just one shot my sat disappeared and my happiness and anrenaline come up! I've been in London for one tear and I 've been at the walk about too many times... I miss it... because I loved it ... I love it ... and I will love it forever. Get a drink get a chat get a speech but above all take fun in it.
raffaella - 25 Mar 2004 09:29
but for the non-faint-hearted English (and everyone else) it stays open late and has live music, DJs, you get your beer spilled all the time, it's too crowded, I had an ace time.
beeronaut - 6 Mar 2004 17:54
Full to the rafters of impossibly good-looking, orange people. Rather like Australia itself, I suppose. Not for the faint-hearted English, though.
Slipperduke - 11 Feb 2004 16:03
This bar is the best if you are a fun lovin party type if youre boring or consider yourself gentry then please dont come.Floors are clean at start of every day,as are toilets but considering the hundreds of people that pass through there they grub quick. go party people.
CC - [email protected] - 8 Feb 2004 14:58
Spent 2 years in London and had to go to the walky at least once a week. Great place to go wild and meet new people and there is no better place to watch a tri-nations game! Do your self a favour and get there early on a sunday arvo for probably the best sunday sesh in the world! Dont go if you get upset when someone bumbs you and you spill your drink. I miss the place so much now that im back in oz, nothing comes close.
wes - 12 Jan 2004 13:43
WHAT? unfriendly bouncers? they are the coolest guys ever. walkabout rocks and its been my local for my 2 years in london. love that place and always will - well the times i can remember. make a point to go there - esp snakebite sunday. just don't wear white.
Kerry W - 7 Jan 2004 23:08
This one is brill and very sticky. Dont wear Flip Flops. But still a good place to party only and dont try to pull cause the most of the guys r "blinde" anyway.
Kathleen - 6 Nov 2003 16:40
Dodgy as hell, but still the best and easiest place to meet people and have a laugh. The lesbian kiss offs are excellent!!
Brad - 18 Oct 2003 16:20
i hate this pub, full of SA and aussies who all love themselves, and its very expensive with very unfriendly bouncers.
anonymous - 15 Oct 2003 21:14
The best place in London!!! Don't forget to wear clothes that can get wet and red. Best Snakebites in town!
/Jacob
Jacob - 9 Oct 2003 14:50
Sunday nights are great. I am from the States and it reminded me of a bar back home. Had such a good time. It is really crowded though, beer all over the floor, be prepared to get a little dirty.
k - 19 Sep 2003 05:04
GOOD ATMOSPHERE, DONT WEAR YOUR BEST CLOTHES THOUGH! MEN ARE SEXY ALTHOUGH A BIT TOO SURE OF THEIR PULLING CAPABILITY! MUST JUST BE A S.AFRICAN/AUSSIE & N.Z THING!

and nederlanders natuurlijk!! Tot kijk/Catch u later wallabies!

anonymous - 9 Aug 2003 18:31
I've been living in London for more than a year and I really like this pub, 'cause it's seems a big party given by one of your best friends, where everybody drinks, sings and dance having fun!! And the guys are so beautiful!!! It's one of my favourite pubs in London! Ciao !!
Miriam - Rome(Italy) - [email protected] - 8 Aug 2003 14:10
Expensive beers....expensive Aussie pies.......dirty toilets....sticky floor.....doormen who glare at you as you walk in...full of pommie wannabe Aussies!! Give it a wide berth!!!!
Davey - 5 Aug 2003 16:22
Wonderful! One of the best places to go out in London... Handsome guys, beautiful girls... nice songs... Amazing!
Lucy - 31 Jul 2003 00:29
absolute rubbish -go if you like that kind of thing. PS shepherds bush is having a revamp over next 4 years...no more walkabout methinks...perhaps itll be bulldozed and all bar one will take its place...i think the ok yars from holland park, are sick of the pikeys next door and will impose gentrification! hooray for change!

rar!!

pip pip
belgrave square boy - 22 Jul 2003 10:59
Been here a couple of times. You can save a fortune by reinacting the Walkabout in your garden. Simply stand in a sticky bucket full of broken glass, vomit and empty fag packets, blast out INXS tunes and get your mates to shove you about a bit to recreate that crowded feeling. Ensure one of them affects an Australian accent, shouting about how crap Brits are. Then be sure to piss yourself and fall over. Hey presto, you're �40 better off.
Ruby - 17 Jul 2003 11:53
Awesome sports pub, great to watch any sporting event. Southern Hemisphere flavour but can meet the whole world in there (friendly bunch really - been there dozens of times, never seen a fight). Not recommended if looking for a quiet drink.
gwen - 2 Jul 2003 18:30
Best place in London for any antipodien who'se feeling a tad homesick - always a great party, snakebites are the best in London, even if you wear half of them home. Really is a pub for the free-spirited travellers who don't care about dressing nicely and staying clean!

2 yaers in London, half of the time @ the walkabout.
Had fun, got wasted and sick, lost money and found money, snogged a lot, heard good music and shitty music, Some one says the floor and the loos are not clean... well I ask: who does make it dirty?!! Well, it's us. Many people say bad things about my Walky but every time I go there I see those people.Shut up.I can only say that: back home Naples,Italy I miss the Walkabout and you Shaun Darcy,barmate.....ciao.

Never had so many guys grab my arse whilst walking from the bar to the toilets

Anzacs can't drink and the South Africans are a disgrace. Good fun though. Shandies all round. I was ok until my kneecap exploded. Beer on the knee incedent.

Quite a nice pub, but is it me or does the beer there taste terrible?

genuinly brilliant place. Best atmosphere I have ever encountered in London. No pretensions, and solid fun. Like being at university again except in Australia...and with loads of European chicks. People who want clean floors, ovepriced drinks and unwelcoming staff with idiotic changing-by-the-minute doorpolicy should go to Soho. They also do a lesbian show.

Full of NZ, AU, SA,all trying to outdo themselves in drinking prowess. don;t expect to get away without being cover in beer, i think more is thrown about than actually drunk. I seen people drinking puke on a couple of occasions - nice.
Always full of the Church casualties on Sunday afternoon.
Only go there if you want to hark back to 'the good ol' days', or at least remind yourself what you are not missing.
- Drink meths before entering though, a definite once a yearer!

Undoubtedly the worst pub I've been in. The floor hadn't been swept for a month, beer - which was atrocious by the way - was served in plastic glasses (it's not that near Loftus Road!) and the toilets were unspeakable. Oh and it had the most threatening atmosphere of any pub I've ever been in.

Don't leave ya Snakebite on the bar, unattended and also watch out for dodgy shots of 'yellow' stuff left on the bar (aka. piss).

If you don't want to pull, don't make eye-contact.
