| Went in with the lowest of expectations, having read so much about the place on BITE and in the tabloid press. However, once inside, I started to cheer up as it appeared that staff and customers alike all looked relatively normal (and it wasn't that crowded at pre-gig time)... Three real ales on, including a decent pint of GK's seasonal Rocking Rudolph served in an old-fashioned jug and closer to full measure than you usually get in these parts. The atmosphere seemed cheerful and the staff were attentive enough. Perhaps the traffic management on the main road - where Camden claim to be creating the first so-called 'naked street' in Britain, apparently - is enough to keep the 'Z'-list (and all that travels with them) away? Anyway, all in all, I rather enjoyed my pint here. rpadam - 5 Dec 2009 11:35 |
| Absolute rubbish. Myself and two friends went in here for the first time on Friday night. Without wishing to go on about it (I'm still annoyed), I was sober, my friend had only had two pints, and my other friend was also completely sober. I stood with the friend that had drank two pints beforehand whilst she ordered her drink, perfectly politely, and said thank you to the barman when he gave her the change. Five minutes later, the same barman comes up to us and tells me that my two friends have to leave because they're "too drunk", and that my friend had somehow been rude to four (yes, four) members of staff in the time that it took her to order her drink. This is the drink that she ordered whilst I was standing next to her, and I can definitely confirm unless I've suddenly gone loopy that she only talked to the one barman, and was in no way rude. This is not to mention the fact that the other friend who was sober and hadn't even bought a drink was also apparently "too drunk" and had to leave. Ever thoughtful, they did tell me that I was fine to stay, but that my best mates had to bugger off. Totally awful, and when I pressed him to tell me how my friend had actually been rude to him he literally couldn't say, he was like "Um, she just was". Now, I don't know what we did to offend them in such a way. Perhaps it's because none of us had silly haircuts or a desire to smoke illegal substances with Amy Winehouse. All I know is that I'm never, ever going back there again. sianisit - 26 Oct 2009 15:04 |
| Very average pub with staff that are both snooty and scummy, if such a thing is possible. Basically, the're unsmiling, unfriendly and are far more interest in having conversations with each other rather than dealing with us plebs. The fact that they all look like skag-heads didn't help - one prize specimen in particular was in a string vest and had the worst head of unkempt hair i've seen. Tragically it probably took him hours to get 'just right'. Can see why AmyWinehouse would like it in here, next to this lot she doesnt actually look too wrecked. juddlinski - 3 Jul 2009 10:50 |
| Was in just before fire - not me guv - and popped in sunday - no different in main bar. not a crowd to remark on. For you beerers there was Tom Woods bomber County - nice Lancaster drawing on pump label, Abbott ale and Old Trip. Posers, Sunday couples and groups, not trendy enough for the barkeepers who have quiet disdain for the weekend masses methinks. Me? Was drunk weekly in Camden before they were born - too old to care now - so there ha! gonetolunch - 30 Jun 2009 15:46 |
| Was in here yesterday and I was shocked by the way that the snooty bar staff looked down there nose at me!! My money is exactly the same as these so called celebs! Not a bad place in fairness and a cool little back garden. It was reasonbly priced too considering its press coverage etc. We were caught out however when the heavens opened and loads of people piled in from the street and this is not a nice place to be when full. People pushing past you and clambering over each other to get to the bar. Sort the staff out and get rid of the stupid doormen and this would be a bloody good pub. bish80 - 28 Jun 2009 16:08 |
