| Had 15 minutes to kill waiting for a train so popped in for a quick one. Only London Pride on (£1.65 a half). Looks a bit shabby and run down, stage area around the back. GuideDogSaint - 22 Sep 2011 12:41 |
| Still empty. I'd give it a try if it had live music that attracted me, like ORIGINAL bands, not covers bands or such. But I don't blame the management for booking bands playing more tried-and-tested material. At least it's not the front room of the Gorringe with its one man bands posing as live music. Happy to help with some custom, when I'm not too busy travelling to places that offer something I need - but Tooting is a pretty diverse place (read: socially-segregated). Divided along the lines of race, nationality and culture with very LITTLE mixing (even Brixton has more with their snobby places), and it's not the British people's fault as I detect very little racism there... lovely sociable, educated immigrants only come in the form of doctors and the rare open-minded people who're above being held-back by invisible, old-fashioned, pathetic social barriers). Everyone shares the desire for a new LCD TV on their wall, why that instead of sharing the desire to socialise together and mix? Scared? At some level, yes! Poor people monetarily seems to mean poor people socially, how sad. I live here, incidentally, but it's bloody true if you look around! That's the problem with many pubs and public places in Tooting - ignorance of how to live nicely, rather than rushing around to the next earning opportunity, ghetto it is indeed! Only love can overcome the ghetto's pressures, whoever you are and wherever you come from... Where's the love, Tooting? Groovehound - 27 Jul 2011 19:41 |

Apart from that a nice time ,although we didnt go to the bar as often as we would have liked MISSLADYLOVELY - 27 Jan 2011 22:18 |
| Nice friendly pub. Lovely barmaid. Had lots of time for me and my drunken football talk even though she didn't support my team! Customers were friendly too, even the ones supporting the other team. Heartily recommended! Bluenose1875 - 26 Jan 2011 23:26 |
