| I'd heard good things about this place, so was looking forward to visiting as part of the RateBeer North London Line pub crawl. Unfortunately the pub was struggling to open as they hadn't cleared up from the previous night. The place was a bit of a mess, and we were told to wait outside in the cold until they were ready to open. The mess was clearly going to take a while to open so we tried to negotiate with the manager, pointing out that we couldn't wait outside for half an hour. He said, somewhat impatiently but understandably, that he would be able to open quicker if I stopped talking with him. I offered our assistance in cleaning up. He agreed, then changed his mind when he saw there were ten of us. So we went to the Wetherspoon. I'll likely be doing another crawl on the North London Line in the summer - hopefully the pub will be open and tidy on that occasion. SilkTork - 17 Jan 2012 09:34 |
| I haven't been here for a few years, but paid a return visit on Wednesday night. The Milton beers are still on - Nero, Tiki, Sparta, Dionysus, Pegasus, Saturnalia & Minotaur on my visit. They were supplemented by 2 guests - Tring Side Pocket For A Toad & Nethergate Red Poll. Cider was Millwhites Mixed Scrumpy. This is still easily the best pub in Hackney and has a prominent position on a busy junction and near two rail stations. The high ceiling creates a sort of echoey schoolroom atmosphere. But the beers make up for it. I particularly enjoyed the Nero. I'll try to make another visit sooner next time. As the previous reviewer states however, the toilets are fairly unpleasant. blue_scrumpy - 13 Jan 2012 21:04 |
| Had great expectations for this pub. Dissapointed to see very limited selection of ale, filthy smelly toilets and zero atmosphere. Girl behind bar looked fed up as well. Would suggest a rethink here potyman - 7 Dec 2011 15:39 |
| A large open plan pub occupying a corner plot with 16 handpumps and also a few barrels on this visit. I had a pint of the West Berkshire 'Good Old Boy' which was ok then followed that up with a very mediocre pint of Tap House Kingdom. It is wtihout doubt the best pub in the vicinity but I think that they are going for quantity over quality as the first pint was drinkable but not exceptional and the second pint was pretty poor. One of the top pubs in the country ? ...afraid far from it - the beer has to be exceptional for that. Snarling_Mallard - 25 Nov 2011 17:55 |
| One of the top pubs in the country, to be sure. Quite bright and airy, fabulous beer selection, big mix of clientele, always lively and buzzing despite the absence of music. swcooper - 11 Aug 2011 23:07 |
