| We have mixed feelings on this pub. It has a great back garden and it is fairly well heated in the winter (a plus for us smokers), the music is really GOOD (indie/electronic), several draft beers (no ales that I recall), and sometimes the clientele is good (mix between funky and indie rock), although sometimes it can get some cheesy people as well (think jeans and high-heels... on the same person!). The downside is whilst some of the staff are nice, they are really slow (lazy). Having lived in NYC and San Fran (where pub/bartenders actually know how to tend bar), it can be really frustrating just ordering two pints. Do keep an eye out for people arriving at the bar after you because the bartenders will just shout out "who's next" as they have no idea. It's up to the customers to say "who's next" as no one seems to have manners when ordering. I guess they have gotten too busy as recently the doorman asked us if we had a "locals card". We've been going to this pub for years, but I guess with them having decent djs upstairs now and again, it's gotten too popular. Like a previous review, probably best for mid-week and avoid on the weekends (including Sundays when we were asked for a "locals card") unless you get in there early. We'll give this pub a 6 out of 10 (would have given it a 7 but the new door policy is crap and the staff seem to be more apathetic every visit). kenandrob - 9 Apr 2008 22:20 |
| No ale, but altogether not a bad pub at all. I've walked past on Fridays and Saturdays and it's heaving, but during the week it's quite pleasant. The garden at the back is pleasant and I like the slightly random staircase going to the top bar. Staff were friendly. As I say, I wouldn't go when it's busy, but during the week it's rather nice. unoriginalname38 - 28 Mar 2008 10:11 |
| This place was nice last time I went, but found some rude bouncers and a one in, one out policy when I turned up the other night. Getting told off for wanting to find my mates in a pub isn't my idea of fun on Friday. Neither is queing, so we all went elsewhere. Shame it's got so popular, I'd avoid it on a Friday. swizz - 27 Feb 2008 16:13 |
| true the lock does get well busy but it was well worth it when we saw Erol Alkan dj in the upstairs bar. Banger. eveninginbeer - 22 Feb 2008 16:45 |
