| I love any walkies... was there again and does what it says on the label. Get Aussies, Kiwis, Saffas and ZImbos hammered :O) Always a special on the booze, always sports on the telly and always some Southern Hemispherean (or a bit of Pompey lad) propping up the bar. Cheap beers & cheaper music... late licence. Only thing I hate is the bouncers.. they are rude, obnoxious, and on a power trip! zazu62 - 17 Feb 2009 01:52 |
| i must say the brown haired doorwomen that stands on the door and calls everybloke 'darling' is the most rude and full of herself person i have ever met. she grabs your arm if you forget to pay and if she is challenged by someone she starts crying. i saw her get bottled in there a week or so ago and even her colleagues were laughing at her and the way she was acting i mean come on its their job to make sure that kinda thing dosent happen. there is a small but stocky guy in there and i dont understand why he is a doorsupervisor he does nothing, just stands there trying to pounce on all the drunked girls. another door steward thinks hes rambo in there but i swear hes not even 20 yet walks around with his arms bent and tensed all the time hes got a baby face (got and have your first shave). mind you there are some very good doorstaff there, a very tall muscley black bloke was in there this weekend and he was very polite and helpful to me. and i even saw him help his colleague out. his colleague was a big muscley guy too watched him try to ask a guy to leave the guy ignored him so he grabbed him which i dont blame him doing. do not read the other reports as it will give you a bad impression of the venue there is some bad staf there but the good ones are the ones that make me go back. margaret13 - 13 May 2008 02:12 |
| i have been going to this pub for 6 years now and i must say its one of the most nicest and friendliest of places down the filth of guildhall walk, i broke my foot and the blonde door steward helped me in the venue and even helped me sit down. i had to show my id which i was a bit concerned about but when the guy who was standing in the road explained to me why i agreed and thought it was a excellent way to keep people safe knowing that if something happens to you the paramedics have your details on your id. there was a few fights in the club but i witnessed the doorstaff talking to a gentleman for around 5 mins and eventually they restrained him and ejected him which i thought was very good and professional i feel very safe when i go in the pub and id just like to let people know this is a excellent pub dont mock it till you have been there. margaret13 - 11 May 2008 17:00 |
| I agree completely about the door staff. There is one serious dyke that stands at the door ~ she looks like the headmistress from Matilda! i Like in there ~ great staff!!! I love the live bands that play and good for an afternoon of ruggas. Oh and they have proper size lunches! zazu62 - 11 Feb 2008 14:35 |
| Common theme here (dont the staff read)!!! The door staff are the most horrible, and utterly unreasonable people I have ever met (and yes we were "allowed" in) they seem to pick arguments with everyone in the que for no reason, truly Horrible! - a great shame beacuse the bar staff are ALL lovely, serve in turn ,polite and helpful (recommendeing beers) Why have the IDIOTS on the door set a very bad impression beofre your even inside; they were activly instigating confruntation, even with the girls! *MANAGEMENT NOTE - THEY ARE RUINING YOUR BAR!!* secretreveiwer - 10 Jan 2008 16:12 |
