| The penultimate port of crawl before the Manics saw us end up here. OK, we didn’t just end up here, we deliberately chose this place because – thanks to the reviews on BITE – we wanted to see just how awful the toilets were. Gentlemen (and Ladies, we checked) this place lives up to the hype. They are the worst pub toilets I’ve yet to experience; Michael Eavis would veto them if they appeared on Worthy Farm. On the pub side, the inside is loud, dark and scruffy. One bonus was the ale – the Hobgoblin was decently priced for the area and tasted fairly good given some of the soup/Sarsons I’d been subjected to earlier. Worth a stop for the comedy value – once. Or twice if you use the toilets as a forfeit for a bet. Quinno - 5 Jun 2009 18:59 |
| Definitely less pretentious than when it was The Dev but still not somewhere you'd go when you're sober. Popped in one Saturday to find about 10 people in the bar and over 30 outside, due to the ear-splitting music inside. Rockers aren't exactly scared of loud music but Europe at full volume when you're trying to chat is a bit mental. Bar staff are disinterested at best. Grubby toilets are expected in Camden but the loos here are in a league of their own! BlackCherry - 20 May 2009 21:30 |
| The bar has just changed management - again. The homeless pish-stinking elderly oi-punks who were previously banned have been let back in and were in full aggressive mode. It took forever to get served and while I was waiting, a total skank with a dog on a bit of string swaggered up to the bar and harangued me to buy her a drink. She got abusive when I refused. The pint glasses served up to me were filthy. Two friends had their drinks roofied with rohypnol under the old management last year and got violently robbed. Things have got worse now. The rancid toilets are the least of your worries in this hellhole. If you really HAVE to go to The Dev (why?), buy a bottled beer (clean) and keep your thumb in it (safe).

| Visted on a recent trip from Sydney. Great music if you like loud heavy rock. Toilets were disgusting but that is usually expected (World's End was far worse). Staff were friendly and the beer (bottled Hobgoblin ) was great. Had a sore head the next day...not sure if is was the music or the beer.... banksy - 20 Apr 2009 06:35 |
| Dark, dank, the worst men's loo since "Trainspotting", shite music, BUT - if you wanna get hammered quickly, talk bollox for England, get chatted up by alluring goths half your age, wink at friendly barmaids who know who's first and remember what you're drinking - get in there!
