| About ten years ago this was a proper pub, four real ales, switched on management, and for a west end pub a bit of character. All this was on the ground floor level, in the cellar bar they had karaoke,discos etc at the weekends, and the upstairs bar was a piano bar with a very funny, very camp pianist. It was a real provider of choice, if you didn't like loud music you stayed in the traditional bar, but then it went the way of a lot of pubs and became plastic. No ales, no choice and no atmosphere. Its now dirty, badly managed and in need of some adult customers. Why? When will thes pubco's learn that if it ain't broke don't fix it. wellinformed - 21 Apr 2008 18:01 |
| What a dump Mr Monkfish (love the Fast Show reference) is right in that this is mainly a venue for up and coming bands. As a band that was neither I was quite fortunate to play here but also to identify it's shortcomings beyond being a good live venue, namely: 1. It's expensive and rather sparse in terms of variety. Still, if you like fizzy lager here's a reasonable place to drink it and watch sports. 2. It's souless. It looks like an ident-i-kit magnolia washed refurb pub where any character has been sapped out of it which makes it bitterly ironic that it's called... 3. The Comedy. Jokes aside about 'The funny thing is the prices and lack of fun you have while in there' aside, it's the first pub I know that could be the name of a band. Think about it - The Strokes, The Hives, The Music, The Comedy I'm ranting now. It's a load of rubbish, and you shoud only go if your mates are playing downstairs in a band. BTW - Stop advertising yourselves on here you mugs rampantwurzel - 10 Jan 2008 15:14 |

| Actually quite like this place. Staff are friendly and really fast behind the bar. Its also huge, so there is usally a place to find a seat and watch the football. The decor is a problem, and there isn't much atmosphere when its empty. When its full though, especially during big matches, the atmosphere is wicked! It really is the best alternative to the hideousness that is The Sports Cafe, will definitely be watching the Champions League Final here. Agree that the lack of real ales is a what lets it down, but I was talking to one of the barmaids yesterday and they mentioned there is a huge refurb in the pipeline, and a selection of ales is planned - which is great news because this place has the potential to be one of the best pubs in the area, IF they do it up right. Here's hoping... northernmonkey - 29 Apr 2007 15:24 |
