There seem to be a lot of negative reviews about Smiths, but I love it. Yes, it's pretentious, overpriced, and the lounges sticky, but it was one of the first places I came for a drink when I arrived in London, so it just epitomises London for me. Great location opposite the markets, cool decor, open spaces, and although the noise can be deafening on a busy night, there is just so much atmosphere that it is worth it. Hygiene freaks may want to avoid though - the place recently only got one star out of five for cleanliness!! Pass the vodka!!!

Just spent Friday evening in the ground floor bar of this place. Where to begin? The 'music' seems to be some kind of dance elevator music with no discernible tune, just an endless repetitive thudding which got steadily louder through the evening to the point where it was giving me a headache. Couldn't hear myself shout. Nothing apparent in the way of ale. Two lagers and a stout on tap so everyone appears to be drinking the same, leading to confusion and confrontation over pint ownership. Probably the least pleasant bar I've ever been to - and I've been to Margate! Oh, and they employ a 'bog troll'. I really don't want someone being paid to watch me urinate, thanks, and I can wash my hands on my own, I'm a big boy now. Nul points.

My Boss Tim's Limerick

There once was a boss called Tim
Who one Christmas quite on a whim
Took us all to the oub
For some beer and some grub
To a bar full of sausages

Was a very cool place when it first opened. Now getting a bit tiresome - stale beer smell, sticky furniture. Needs to freshen itself up if it is going to continue to compete with the lots of other bars and pubs in the area.

Downstairs pub gets a bit too busy on week nights but if you like that . .

That said, always had a good time in here. Especially in the summer in the cocktail bar when they open up the large windows.

For Christ's sake, it's a bloody restaurant with a wankers' bar attached! What do you expect? You're in one of the best areas in London for proper pubs and you go here?! You can take a horse to water...
