| Paid a very quick visit on my way over to Southwark on a Thursday evening. Consequently the pub was very busy but there was at least four bar staff and little or no wait. Four ales on tap, I had the Oranjeboom but looking at the pints being pulled the ale certainly looked well cared for. Having walked down the lane from Cornhill the pub looked very small from the outside esspecially with the current scaffolding, however it was surpsingly big on the inside and there were plenty of drinkers outside where you can stay until 9pm. Interior is very basic (world away from the Counting House round the corner), but this for me added to it's charm. Will most certainly be back for a longer visit. kevmac - 10 Jun 2011 15:49 |
| I knew there was a reason I had decided not to visit this place for 5 years, the staff & their inability to serve the punters. Waited ages as the pub was busy but with a big bar & just 2 staff this is not surprising. When I eventually got served my barmaid went into meltdown including serving a pimms in a shot glass! Joke of a place staffed by youngsters who do not understand how to run a busy pub, shame really as it has alot of history & in a great location. BOBSTERTHELOBSTER - 20 Apr 2011 09:52 |
| Visited on a Wednesday night, place was packed out so no danger of being watched by the staff!! Full of business types straight from work, good atmosphere, very noisey, had to shout to talk. Served very quickly, bar staff were working hard to make sure no one was waiting too long so credit to them for that. Dark interior, really interesting place, would certainly call in again. phill1110 - 28 Oct 2010 21:04 |
| Interesting and dark interiour but me being alone I was slightly put off by the high number of young cool and trendy staff hanging around watching you drink......a little too nice trying to be a little more interesting than it actually is.....although was nice to see Oranjeboom on tap - used to drink that years ago. adamwalsh - 19 Aug 2010 18:10 |
| Another pub that I finally got around to visiting on Thursday this week. The Jamaica Wine House has always held a certain amount of intrigue for me, and the interior lived up to my expectations. Tall wooden partitions create separate drinking areas and a maze-like layout. The dark mahogany wood is typical of many old City establishments and the patterned ceiling is impressive. There is plenty of seating, with some nice small wooden tables. Various beer tankards can be seen above the bar. The gents toilets were slightly unusual, especially the urinal area at the far end, which has a very different shape. They were however quite smelly. The walk up and down the stairs has plenty of pictures to keep you occupied. The beer range is disappointingly all Shepherd Neame's - Master Brew, Spitfire & Early Bird and service was slightly cold. The manageress however did seem quite motivated and was efficiently coordintaing the service. Definitely a place I would visit again, despite the poor drinks range and service. blue_scrumpy - 22 May 2010 14:16 |
