Admittedly it was rammed but the live bands and DJ were pretty amazing, and they'd decked the whole place out Alice in Wonderland style - looked awesome. Didn't try any of the Mar-tea-ni cocktails (ahem, didn't sound like my sort of thing) but can honestly say that I danced around like a lunatic.
Will deffo return - thinking that it might be good for my party next year.
standrad drinks range but food is tasty

I've grown up coming to this place, and through the years like all places its had its ups and downs. What makes this place is the great character and amosphere, and the food has been outstanding.
Unfortuantly what should be an informative page for proper customers is now riddled by bitter bar managers who have lowered themselves to such grubby tactics.
You know who you are.

Maybe I was lucky as, contrary to more recent reviews, I was served a decent pint of Guinness by a friendly barman. Whilst supping my pint I noticed a sign that advertises the closing times as 11pm everyday except Friday and Saturday which are 2am, so handy for a late drink if in the area.
This isn’t really my sort of pub as it was full of twenty-somethings drinking premium lager, but I would pop back in if using the tube station again.

The negatives: really horrible toilets (smelly and just not very clean) and very predictable food menu (i.e. Lots of stodge!). Also, one of the reviewers from May sounds as if they either work there or own the place which always puts me off. I assure you that the artwork on the walls is probably the last thing you'll notice after a few drinks!!!

The only downside as far as I'm concerned is the complete lack of anywhere outside for smokers or anyone hoping to enjoy a bit of sun. Still, I don't smoke and this is rainy England so it's not a major problem most of the year.

There are a couple of plasma screens, but I didn’t see any sport advertised so I’m not sure what they are used for as I cannot imagine this place putting music channels on during the evening. However, there are plenty of picnic tables out the front for use on sunny days and I’d imagine the much lauded garden out the back gets very crowded in the summer as it is very nice.
This place isn’t really my cup of tea and although I can see the attraction I’ll probably never return.
The Falcon rocks!

There are a couple of TVs that were off during my visit and I also spotted a rolled up projector above the front window. There is a sign outside stating that sporting events are shown, but I didn’t spot any signs for Sky Sports but as the pub info above states that Sky is present I’d imagine that they do have it.
I’m not sure that I’d make a special trip to visit here again, but I can see why it is popular with users of this site.
