Used to go to the wishing well maybe 5 or 6 times a year and really liked it. Was a really authentic quirky pub. All the dusty old junk (bikes, barrows, signs etc) they had allover the place and the tree growing through the middle of the pub really added to the atmosphere.

I went there again to check it out after its renovation and, as I suspected, they've recked the place. We went on a Friday night for a quick drink before catching the train and it was painfully dead. We were the only people in there at 9pm.

There is neon and spot lights and LEDs everywhere, seats are now all white leather and music is crap RnB. To get to the point, it's awful.

They clearly didn't do any research as the location is no place for a "club". Sure this place will be closed in 6 months or less.

This place is now called Funky Brownz and it is a club that was empty on Monday evening, but still had a bouncer on the door.

One to avoid if your posing and dancing days have passed.

It would appear that the Wishing Well has closed. Doors have been shut for a while now and there is no sign of anybody working to refurbish the place.

Wandered in on a Sunday recently coming back from Crouch End. Nice enough place, much bigger than you expect, clean and decently priced. Not sure how welcome we were as not regulars, glowers from couple of people at bar, but then every pub has a couple of people like that. Not really inspiring enough for a return visit.
