| Other than the massively over priced beer £4 min a pint, though that does seem to be the norm now in and around this area. A fantastic pub., with an excellent area out the back for us smokers! Seemed to be plenty of staff on when I visited who all seemed friendly and effishant, would definatly reccomend and go back to. Boo_Boo - 7 Oct 2011 13:28 |
| I've been coming here regularly for 5 years, as, for some reason, my bosses - who take us staff out Froday lunchtimes - love this place. London prices are very high anyway, but the Poet's tariff is astronomical. Every pint is at least £4, if not more, and a large glass of house white can set you back nearly £8. The food menu is a tad anal, and there's few options if you just want a light-bite. The decor is OK, but just OK. Staff are friendly tho'. I get the feeling the Poet wants to be something it's not. It's trying to appeal to a 'discerning' customer, and as such it's prices are sky-high. All-in-all, it's a standard City boozer, reaching for something it can't attain. stwutter - 2 Aug 2011 16:00 |
| Just noticed Jim Baxter's comment. Are you not selfish for bringing your heavily pregnant wife into this pub? Anyway, was in here twice recently.The last time being for their recent 1920s day. I certainly like the decor of the pub although unfortunately not very comfortable and as we were in a large group we moved on quicker than expected. Service is standard for central London.Awful. Staff wander about slowly and aimlessly and can never remember more than one drink at a time and will somebody please show some one there how to pour a decent pint of Arthur.

| Or maybe you should have considered your no doubt very large wife a bit more before taking her to a cramped London pub round the corner from two markets on a Saturday afternoon during a rugby international in an area where you clearly dislike the general population? Do you go to Camden and complain about all the pierced people? Or Soho to moan about the gays? I am sure you would have had plenty of space and seating if you had turned up early enough, rather than expecting people who had to give up their seats, so I guess you are the selfish pri*k and your wife should have slapped you!

| Went in here for a mate's birthday / the Wales vs Scotland Six Nations. $4.20 for a pint of Stella. Disgrace. Seats arranged in a way that made viewing the game incredibly difficult. Usual useless bar staff who have no grasp of who is next in line. How hard is it? Full of Shoreditch cu*ts with their sparrow legs, skin tight jeans and arses hanging out. The type who sit about in a rammed pub noticing my wife is 8 months pregnant, but are too self centred or lacking in gumption to offer a seat. That is until they leave. Should have slapped the pri*ks. Jim_Baxter - 16 Feb 2011 18:36 |
