| I went to this pub on a Friday at around 5 pm and there were only 3 people in it! I soon realised why when I met the grumpy barman and the prices he charged! The pub itself has a reasobaly nice layout with a beer garden too but seems to have been built on a philosopshy of apathy. After charging me £3.40 for a rather average pint of Pride he went on to say that he was closing the pub in 10 minutes "otherwise I won't get me dinner". So I called the friends who were due to meet me there shortly and we went elsewhere to spend out hard earned...hey miserable barman you lost a lot of money that night! What a twat. 98p_pint - 20 Mar 2010 14:23 |
| as for the gravy - well being a northerner with a pallet for fine gravy I've already asked Pete (the charming landlord) to put it on tap. patfahy - 11 Mar 2010 15:02 |
| Shoreditch twats... What an interesting ideology - I won't judge one on one's fashion-sense, personality or social habits - and no I am not a skinny jeans wearer. However I do understand common respect and politeness - something which will ultimately get you served a lot faster in the Owl. Not only is this barman a true East End gent - with a great sense of humour, a wry subtlety of sarcasm and an incredible historical knowledge of football - but he also has a respect for his regulars. Combine that with the BEST lamb chops and pies this side of the Watford Gap and you have a perfect pub. PUB. Not some wanky Hoxton bar but a PUB. Love it or loathe it - that's what this little gem is and if you respect the barman and earn his respect you will love this place and go back time and time again. PS... do not wear a silly hat into the bar - that is the fastest way to NOT get served ;-) jonpaulharvey - 11 Mar 2010 15:01 |
| Rather surprisingly a proper pub in Shoreditch without all the fuss and money being poured into it to try and create it. Still packed to the gills with trendy types. Landlord and Lady seemed nice enough to me. Decent pint of Pride, but not special by any means. Sad to see from the comments below that they are being forced out to create, I imagine, a faux dingy east end boozer, instead of the real one that is here. mrse1 - 20 Apr 2009 11:58 |
| I had sunday lunch here once, and we counted 14 different types of vegetable, and the amount of beef was good too. I had a hangover as well, which disappeared after eating this epic lunch - enabling me to create another one. The_Rotter - 16 Nov 2007 15:54 |
