| This formerly great pub was basically turned into another trendy Hoxton bar over night. It used to be an awesome traditionally looking local pub with a nice and friendly atmosphere, now it's just another trendy soulless place. Which is even more of a pity as there was nothing wrong with the place, it was just not trendy. The 3/4 bar is gone now (along with all the other old features and sadly, the pool table) and it's one big room with leather sofas, wooden floorboards and clean walls with the obligatory strip of decorative wallpaper around the chimney (- sounds familiar?). Noisy music, less ales, more lagers and "platters, pizzas and paninis". If this is your kind of thing, the new George and Vulture probably won't do you any harm. If you're looking for a good proper pub, it's not worth a visit anymore. bergbock - 12 Apr 2008 16:15 |
What an excellent pub - refurbished in February 2008, and now reflecting a comfortable, traditional Victorian feel, with a cosy fire, huge leather sofas, oak tables, and an excellent bar. The Fuller's London Pride and ESB are excellent, and they also offer a nice range of lagers and a good wine list. Can't wait for when they start serving food, which is coming soon. martinbaker - 12 Mar 2008 13:09 |
| Echoing other comments - this is a decent normal pub in an area where such things are hard to come by. tuppence - 20 Feb 2008 14:34 |
| Unexpectedly good pub, part way between the twin hells of Hoxton scarf-wearing venues to the south and the utter toilet that is De Beauvoir Estate and environs. Well kept 3/4 bar. Good, clean furnishings. Several guest beers. Friendly, competent staff who, startlingly, don't need to be told to top up a pint. Seems to be particularly popular with hounds and their masters. Don't be put off by the location. Yes, you are in south Hackney, but you could take in this, the Wenlock Arms and the Prince Arthur before escaping. An exceptional pub in the traditional mold. God knows how it is still in existence. BitterShurn - 14 Jan 2008 21:58 |
| Without a doubt the cleanest traditional looking pub I've ever been in. Spotless!There's something to be said about pubs run by women, they know how to look after a place. The staff are very friendly and the locals are too. Excellently kept London Pride. A little off the beaten track but a great place for a quite pint. mrfalafel - 20 Jul 2007 15:57 |
