This was my first time in this pub, but I have been trashed a couple of times in the club – albeit many years ago.

I found the barmaids to be nice enough and although I didn’t like the look of the Greene King IPA that the bloke in front of me ordered my Guinness was fine. There are a couple of floors to the pub and, as mentioned, the roof garden is a nice touch.

Although I wouldn’t drink here again, I think that the current rating is a little harsh, but my visit was on a Thursday so I didn’t get the full impact of the clubbing crowd packing out the pub.

This bar is the pits and is to be avoided.

Sadly, a bit of a blight on Hoxton which would leave most wondering what all the fuss is about. This pub's location in an obvious place near Old Street tube, above a dire looking club of the same name, and presided over by a staggering blue-tinged building caters for the lazy amongst us. The multi-tiered roof gardens save it from utter terribleness.

seemed alright to me - next door to teh nightclub - convenient service pretty quick for a saturday night - San miguel not overly pleasant though.

Popped in for a festive tipple after work with a few mates, enroute to town. Ignored by staff despite waving the contents of my purse at the bar (despite the fact there we all of 15 people in the premesis at the time). This place is really the pits, a friend warned me about the lack of hospitality at this place a long time ago. I should have heeded his warning. I'm frankly flabberghasted by the lack of professionalism at this dive. A prime example of what a bar should'nt be! Steer well clear of this pit.
