| Good News first: On the plus side the beer seems to be well looked after, it is in a great location (for me) and the decor is very nice. Downside: What seems to be letting it down is the: a) Menu - it never hasn't changed for a long time, there is a specials board however b) the specials board, call it timing call it karma, i always seem to miss out on the "nice" item on the specials board c) the service - very hit and miss depending on the mood of the waitresses. They tend to be a little on the dour side. d) the quality of the food - as it is quite expensive i don't always get what i feel i paid for e) on sending back a steak, how hard is it to cook a rare steak? The result of then waiting 15 minutes for it not to come back and deciding to cancel the order? This pub should really be a top destination for a nice dinner, however it seems to be resting on its laurels and not living up to expectations (or standards) RealAleMale - 27 May 2008 12:25 |
| Had a nice pint of Sharp's Doom Bar last night which was in excellent condition. Pub has a nice feel to it GGG - 30 Jan 2008 17:34 |
| This place has certainly freshened up since the last time I was here. Clean, bright & a massive heated umbrella for smokers out front. Understand Arsenal home games make this the place to be, with a BBQ outside to avoid crushes for food. Fullers & Sharps on tap. Good condition too. Worth a punt if you feel like getting off Upper Street. Even worth a punt if your not. werner_von_braun - 1 Nov 2007 19:13 |
| Kmcs didn't choose to visit when Arsenal were at home did he? This place does a nice pint of Taylors, but the Aussie bar staff can be a bit slow. hobo73 - 24 Dec 2006 17:44 |
| LOL at kmcs. I liked it for a quiet evening, but you won't find me playing connect 4. Didn't have to wait to be served either. f90x - 23 Dec 2006 13:14 |
