| There's a sign on the door here which says strictly over 25. I can only assume it's an in-joke by the owner as every weekend it's filled with kids looking for the latest close in town. During the day it's a great pub only rivalled by the Kings Head in the market square I would say. A Lovely interior with many lagers on tap and a perfectly poured Guinness every time. Lots of flat screens dotted around the pub mean you’re unlikely to miss the latest goings on in the world of sport whilst you’re sat at one of the many tables available. They let themselves down, however, by what happens at the weekends. They take away the stools from the tables, I suppose to allow more standing space, but it just means you can’t sit around a table in there with your friends. It ruins the atmosphere for people and I think it’s why people don’t turn up until later on. Taking the stools away from the bar works well and makes sense, but I feel the stools at the tables is a step too far. On weekend nights there also seems to be an aggressive atmosphere fuelled by little boys acting like imbecilic wannabe tough guys, with their platinum blonde bimbo girlfriends in tow loving the 'drama'. Awight babe? Yeeeeeaaah. Cushdy. Also, I realise pubs as a rule are struggling, so I accept that money is king, but I just wish they would stop letting in so many people as there’s no space to move at all. I would and do recommend this pub to friends, but as always there are improvements to be made. 6/10. EnfieldTaaaanBlud - 30 Jan 2012 14:55 |

| Okay, so look. In Enfield Town, your options are severely limited, we all know that. So, if you do happen to drink in town regularly, quite frankly, this place is your only viable option. Although of course, it depends on what you're looking for, because there's always a couple crazies who seek out bad beer and sticky floors. But, if you're in search of friendly bar staff, decent music (Thurs/Fri/Sat), nice enough regulars/locals/customers and seven screens showing sport all day everyday, you gotta make the smart choice. You're not gonna choose The George because the beer is terrible and the locals demented. You're not gonna choose Bar Form because you never know if it's actually gonna be open, and if you're (un)lucky enough to find it is, you'll be faced with warm bottled beer and the locals revelling in pseudo-intellectual conversations about Teen Wolf Too. You're not gonna choose The Stag, because i'm assuming if you've bothered to read this far, you're not an idiot. And you're not gonna choose Club 108 because you dont want to get into a fight about, erm, well let's see... Oh i know, absolutely nothing at all. EnfieldTaaaanBlud - 12 Apr 2010 14:59 |
| Well, as a card carrying moronic knuckle dragger, I’ll admit that there probably is an element of truth to a couple of the more recent comments, and the fact is that in any pub you’re going to get a couple of objectionable people. Several even. But they’re such the rarity as to be mainly negligible. The Taps is really two pubs. A regulars’ pub Monday to Friday afternoon and then a bar Friday and Saturday night, returning to normal again on Sunday. And Monday to Friday it genuinely is an entirely pleasant place to be. Quiet, friendly and welcoming. I suppose you can take that to mean slightly dull and maybe that’s true, but for drinkers that’s just fine. RedRed - 5 Feb 2010 16:20 |
