| We were here for the beer and we were not disappointed - the three Dark Star beers were in excellent shape and they also had a good foreign beer selection - my last beer of the day was from the De Dolle Belgian brewery. Not the most atmospheric pub but that was a very minor point. Booze_Allen - 21 Sep 2008 12:59 |
| I recently took a trip to the Evening Star, but my attempts to make conversation were drowned out by the loud sound of someone complaining about the music. Even the young women with their halves couldn't concentrate. danforth - 20 Sep 2008 14:30 |
| This pub still has the best beer for many, many miles. They have cleaned the floor and fixed the loo (kind of) but my friends and I are slowly stopping going there. It is no longer our automatic first choice as a pub. We go to the pub to chat and to drink good beer. The chat bit is now difficult. The loud music they have started to play in recent months means we all have to shout so, not for the first time, last night we walked out. Maybe they are aiming to get a different type of person visiting or drive some of their regular customers away. They have a huge and diverse clientele so I'm not sure who they want to attract. The background music is aimed at my age group (early middle aged) so it won’t attract many young people. Maybe they want to discourage some of the young women who used to come to talk and have a couple of halves, because this is what they are now doing quite successfully along with any males who primarily want to chat. Maybe they want to involve the smokers outside in the pub atmosphere with sound or just sound lively from the street. Whatever they are trying to do, the overwhelming background noise means we at least, regretfully, won’t be visiting again in a hurry. baldfatandugly - 1 Sep 2008 08:42 |
| Paid a timely trip to this hostelry on 23/08/08 - Local "Mick the Dustman" on his usual good form - same for the beers which never disappoint - Saturday evening was no exception. If this were my local it'd certainly save me a £££s in train fares! Good stuff Matt, 10/10 again! lad_newton - 26 Aug 2008 19:12 |
| Strange smell from the toilets (well, I hope that's the source) now unmasked by government interference. A classic beer drinker's delight. Hopsucker - 14 Aug 2008 16:24 |
