| The fluctuating fortunes of this boozer have changed again. Now under it's second bout of new ownership within the last few months. It is now an Irish pub as the fresh green paint job outside and various bric-a-brac inside (including a cardboard shamrock)is at pains to indicate and nice enough it is too. The clientele has naturally changed to a more Celt-centric bunch, but they are warm and friendly to the rest of us. The bar staff are slower but very chatty and get your order right. Prices are much as before and jusging by the various posters up and around the place, the new owners are attempting to make an effort to put plenty of entertainment on (albeit primarily revolving around Irish music). Seats and tables are more plentiful than before and very comfortable. A pretty good effort so far. Time will tell if it will get back up to the high-water mark standard that was set here about 2-3 years or so ago, but it's certainly an improvement on the thankfully short-lived spell under the immediate predecessors and seems to be moving in the right direction.

| The pub has now reopened under new management. Haven't ventured in myself as of yet, but am reliably informed by some trusted acquintances that it's much the same in terms of some of the bar staff, range and price of drinks, etc. but that the furniture is a bit more comfortable and almost unbelievably the punters are a bit more "lively"/lairy/tasty (delete as you prefer). Seems all the good work done by previous owners to drag the image of the pub and type fo drinker up to more respectable and non-violent levels is being eroded to the stage where it is getting back to how it was when it was known colloquially as the Top House (as it is at the top of Green Street)when its very name was synonimous with a "no-go area". A great shame. Mr.Monkfish - 11 Jan 2008 18:28 |
| Guess what? Yep, that's right yet a-blimming-nother pub in Enfield has bitten the dust. It closed down this past Saturday and whilst it had dropped below it's peak form a long while ago, it will still be sadly missed. Thanks for the memories! Mr.Monkfish - 6 Nov 2007 19:57 |
| From the outside this pub looks like a dive. Walk past it and look in and you'd think it's a dive. Walk in and you'd think it's a dive. This pub is a dive ! But please don't get me wrong. I like this pub, it has character and local colour. The bar staff and owners are friendly and knowledgable and the service is top notch. It looks scary but I have never had any trouble in this pub. I have seen trouble but it is always between the Chavs/Scum and they keep to themselves. A great selection of bands play here and the place can really be jumping. Some of the locals are fun to sit back and watch as well, there is one girl who....how does that song go.....'is fit but she knows it' and acts accordingly, a small fish in a smaller pond. Bar staff and owners make an effort and so should you, don't be put off by appearances and go to this pub. Meach - 20 May 2005 21:25 |
