| I forgot to mention in my previous review, and should have taken the hint from the start, when I ordered the first beers I paid with a 20 an got change from a 10, had to ask for my other tenner back. Not the sort of thing you want happening on a busy night. ThinkingDrinking - 16 Dec 2011 15:07 |
| Could be a great pub as it has good beer and a nicely quirky interior with real fire. However, it is catastrophically spoilt by a stroppy and petulant bar maid – she exhibited some quite unbelievably rude and hostile behaviour. Maybe she is a feature? The place lacks atmosphere too as it has a high turnover of boozers given the proximity to Kings Cross. If you want a pleasant experience avoid this place…….unless you are a masochist of course!

| We were in this pub last night. The music went on and it was very, very loud, and through perhaps the worst pair of old speakers in London. We asked (politely) three times to have the volume reduced but instead they turned it up and then accused us of being rude to them by not being obsequious when we asked them to turn it down. Needless to say, we left and we wont be going back, and we will post similar reviews in other places. It's a shame as this pub has wonderful beer and in many respects is a great place. It's just such a shame that a place can be let down that badly by one member of staff - the barmaid. We asked the barman if he could turn it down and he said he'd been asked to do so by lots of people but he couldnt do it as it 'was out of his control'. If you want very loud, bad music and very rude staff, this is the place for you. Otherwise, go somewhere where they give you some respect. ThinkingDrinking - 16 Dec 2011 11:36 |
| After you left (post below)..........the rest of the customers applauded!! Well done Young Girl, people like you shouldn't be allowed out, let alone allowed into pubs! Hubby had a decent pint of Brodies and I thought the ladies toilets were some of the best I have been in (no pun intended). PissFlap - 8 Dec 2011 16:19 |
| We were really disappointed with this pub. My friend and I went yesterday. We were chatting by the bar normally, when the young girl behind the bar interrupted us and said we were talking so loudly that we were giving her a head ache. She asked us to be quiet. She got her wish and we left. We found her incredibly rude and recommend that you avoid this pub like the plague... ceady - 8 Dec 2011 11:15 |
