| The Black Cap is a popular bar in a good location, well situated next to the tube. It is an establishment of two halves: the upper bar and the lower dance floor/club room. The upper bar offers very good value for money; esepcially on bar food. Good deals such as burger and a drink for less than £4. The quality of the food is usually satisfactory or better. What is missing from the bar is good quality customer service. Often bar staff are rude and come across as being unprofessional. They are often short-staffed and some customers feel uncomfortable with the 'judgemental' looks and comments made by a few; including senior bar staff. The upper bar plays good music and there is an outdoor seating area which is popular and well used. The clientele ranges; most are gay men and women but this bar is also frequented by hetrosexual guests. The downstairs disco/club room is much better. Staff work in 'club mode' and drinks are served more professionally. DJs play excellent music and the dance floor is popular. It's friendly, welcoming atmosphere twinned with high quality music, make the downstairs a good place to be. I think the upper bar would be better, if more staff worked in busy periods and perhaps if senior management reviewed performance of key bar staff. Hotelinspector - 15 Aug 2009 18:28 |
| Nearly a year on, change of management but the same crap music, insolent staff and passable food. BTUK - 12 Mar 2009 14:58 |
| A gay pub with with a very mixed clientele. Good value meals and a nice decked terrace upstairs at the back. No cask ales :-( alexw - 11 Oct 2008 18:32 |
| seems a lot more straight orientated with lots of bitchy people. The cloak room staff are rude. The beer is watered down. They bar customers for life without a good reason. Bar staff are cold and rude and not friendly at all. Not recommended. When busy takes ages to get served at the bar. Although it's now quite empty as most regulars go elsewhere like the west end. pubcustomerenfield - 5 Oct 2008 19:46 |
| Great place for a good value lunchtime meal, though if you go more than once a week the music will drive you mad: same songs, same tme, EVERY DAY! Yes it's gay, some people are, get over it. BTUK - 8 Apr 2008 12:14 |
