| £4.50 per pint - nowhere near worth it. Walked out after one. JJD79 - 18 Mar 2011 22:24 |
| Liked the high-ceiled interior, large Truman, Hanbury & Buxton mirror behind the bar and Rough Trade-supplied jukebox (Sex Pistols, Stooges and New York Dolls played during my visit - class). However, lack of any ales a disappointment as well as £4.50 for a pint of Stella Black... Komakino - 23 Feb 2011 18:35 |
| Went here for a live band and found the experience positive on the whole. It was a bit weird when going to the upstairs toilets because there was no light to tell you which door was what. Luckily, there was a figure sitting in the darkness to literally point out (no talking allowed by the looks of it) which door I should go through. The selection of ales was poor (Boddingtons and Pride in bottles) and the lager choice was uninspired. The fact that they ran out of lager did not bode well either. Not as bad as had been made out by other reviewers but I would think twice about going here on a non gig night. The band were good though (The Hot Rats for the record).

| Is this pub still open? Tried to get in at about 5 pm on Monday this week and all the doors were locked. Or do they just open very late? binge_benefits - 25 Aug 2009 23:35 |
| Tired looking interior that I suspect is a deliberate attempt to recreate the atmosphere of Camden pubs in the early 1980s. The seats around the outside of the pub that have been rescued from a theatre (still with numbers on them) are a novel touch but being Hoxton it attracts many, many people who I would prefer to out of sight and hearing when I am unwinding in the evening. There is a rather magnificent mirror/ glass emblem in one corner but the toilets are foul and I could do without the studenty / trendy company. murgatroyd - 21 Jun 2009 20:52 |
