Friendly down to earth music-focused boozer, protected from Watford's central Strip by four lanes of passing traffic. Nice place to visit all year round, but probably comes into it's own in the summer months when you can spill out onto the large patio outside.

Bands on 3/4 nights a week, usual a mix of local bands and decentish tribute acts. The landlord also seems to be a close personal friend of Cockernee Geniuses Chas n Dave, so they're normally on a couple of times a year. Gertcha.

The only pub in Watford High Street I will drink in. Not the prettiest boozer inside, but its full of adults so 99% of the time the atmosphere is very good. But the best thing about this pub is the music. The landlord gets in some really cracking bands, the last ones I saw were The Jamm (tribute) who were excellent. Staff are pretty friendly to, can't tell you about the ales as I'm a lager lout, but they have London Pride. Well worth a visit.

Good place for a quiet drink on a Saturday afternoon (as long as Watford are not playing at home). Well kept ales, I had a pint of Pride and an Old Speckled Hen.
Not so keen on the internal layout now they have ripped the guts out of the pub, but it is of a much larger scale than before & ideal for the nocturnal music scene.

Definitely my favourite pub. Completely unpretentious, always very welcoming and usually a great atmosphere - especially when bands are playing which is several times a week. Bar staff are always attentive and courteous and the beers are properly kept. They also serve good quality bar meals in generous portions although the menu is a bit limited. The decor is full of music memorabilia so there's always something to catch the eye. There's also an all-weather covered patio so you can always enjoy a drink al fresco! Highly commended!

Dirty filthy Pub. Seems to be a place for lecherous 50 something men, and slutty looking women with bingo wings and a distinct lack of clothes, teeth or morals. That may be your thing, but it isn’t mine.

Interior is distinctly dingy, and everywhere looks a bit dark and grimy. Pointless brick-a-brack adorns the walls.

The lager is average at best, but the Guinness is very poor indeed. Prices were expensive, and they stick about 50p a pint on whenever they have a band on which can make a round very expensive indeed.
