Great pub with spacious, safe and airy atmosphere - legendary Landlord is always around to ensure the party runs smoothly.All drinks and cocktails you could want with decent pub food by day and hot dogs and pizza by night.
Probably the best pub in N London to watch sport with surround sound and several state of the art big screens and plasmas -awesome.
Saturday `s Band Night is always massive and there`s a really decent games room with immaculate pool tables, plasmas and a good craic to be had.A winner !

I first visited this pub at 14 and have drank here numerous times over the past ten years. About five years ago, I witnessed a man being glassed by a doorman and so never went back. Last friday i returned to meet friends( this was our meeting point), We actually stayed there for a few hours and all i can say is the publicans though all different ages all got on well, the only people who cause trouble here are the security as they are too over powering and this fat man who sat in the corner all night, apparently his the landlord, well the way he spoke to some of the young girls there was menacing and i found him to be quite a bully. If they were my daughters, I'd shoot him.He obviously has issues with his hygiene and mental problems, this is a great pub and the brewery should get rid of him.

Best night to go is Saturday night, great bands playing until the early hours.

Quite a safe pub,if there is trouble you don't know about it.

A bit of an 'old man' pub during the day but comes alive at night.

Fit lass behind the bar, brunette, big boobs... nice.

Fantastic pub, real cosy atmosphere in the arm chair section and party atmosphere by the bar, best of both worlds!

Fun, young staff, a few hotties behind the bar.

Well run, no trouble, friendly door men.

Good food, good drink, nice women, footie, pool what more could a bloke ask for?

Typical of this area. Huge old building - standard in everything from decor to clientele.

Needs bouncers on the door though - seems to be a favourite for the 16 year olds of the area.

The barman had horrific dandruff.

Finished up a Christmas pub crawl here.... Service was very slow, but lots of attractive young ladies, and some nice big sofas to pass out on.... Better than it used to be!
