Good for nostalgia value.

Good thai food there now.
Says it all really.

Popped in on my way back to Barnes and the football was on. This seems to be the pub's focus having been past it every evening it has a board outside advertising that it shows live games. Food was being served which I didn't sample.I had a half of doombar which was OK. Agree with other posters that the atmosphere isn't great and the barmaid who served me not overwhelming.

This pub is at a level not far above awful. Dark and boring with staff to match, there never seems to be any sort of good atmosphere in here. The barmaid who served me on my last unfortunate visit seemed to consider it a chore (after I had to ask her to serve me, despite my chum and I being the only people at the bar). I'd not been in for many months until the last time but it's not got any better.

I recall spending some evenings here during my schooldays but even then found it abysmal. It's a shame considering it looks reasonably pleasant since they've repainted the outside red, but this is definitely a pub to avoid.

I gave this place a few tries some time ago and really struggled to find anything positive to say. The refurbished interior has more in common with a tile showroom and the general décor depressingly dull and devoid of any character. Everything comes over as fake and plastic and the atmosphere was always dull, hollow and lifeless. The bar staff always appeared to be disinterested and there was never anything available other than keg bitter or draught lager so at least the previous reviewer had more luck than me. Various Plasma screens dotted about for sport and there is a separate pool room at the rear. If there is a plus, the Thai menu was quite extensive and reasonably priced but there really isn’t much here to get excited about. At best, it is OK for a meeting place prior to an Apollo show but even then I can think of far better options.

Not as bad as I was expecting from some of the reviews, but certainly nothing special. Only real ale was a so-so pint of London Pride.
