| northman, I wholly agree such behaviour is totally unacceptable. There is no excuse for it at all. Just gives me another reason to head to the Wheatsheaf or over to De Hems instead. Its trendy in so much as every wnkr that wants to be seen as a beer connoisseur after reading about the place in Time Out or the 'Sub Standard' has now descended on the place. Usually they are stuffed by the selection and end up drinking Veltins (the closest they get to Fosters) and the women all drink wine. Zaphod - 25 Jun 2009 14:28 |
| gotta agree with Zaphod. i did used to enjoy hitting the rake for an ale and have supported uto and the rake for a long time. but the last couple times have blown big time. only thing i will disagree on. the rake aint trendy. it's wankville and jam packed with fkers who can't smell cascade! also Zaphod, you cant tell a customer to fk off when all they have asked for is to some clean fresh air! northman - 25 Jun 2009 11:39 |
| I used to love the Rake but sadly too many things outside of their control have conspired to ruin the place. First don't even bother going after 6pm on a Thurs or Fri. Rammed with idiots and knobbers. This is a result of its media exposure, and now its the 'trendy' place to be. Next, the plastic nimbys in the flats opposite whinged to the council about the noise. There goes the street drinking and the result is everyone gets rammed into the micro-bar at 10:30 when the patio closes. The construction around the market hasn't helped either with the waste bins seemingly moving ever closer to the patio. The staff and Utobeer management are an acquired taste, and really could and should do better at customer service. However having seen first hand on many occasions the type of f*ckwits they have to deal with I can understand why their manners and friendliness have been eroded to nothing short of abrupt.

| the rake, okay so firstly its a rip off just like uto beer. never been treated more rudely in my life as a customer. irish dude basically told me to fk off cos i wanted to get some air, the bar was like a sauna. was only 10.30pm, every pub in borough has street drinking (also fire hazard_ wont be going back EVER again. this place is for tourists and suits. northman - 22 Jun 2009 14:02 |
| One of the best selections of Belgian and US beers in London. But...£4.50 for a 355ml bottle of Sam Adams? Absolute disgrace. It’s a relatively mainstream beer and there were other US beers priced considerably cheaper…despite being both stronger and more obscure ie. Flying Dog Pale and Sierra Nevada Torpedo. Even the staff were surprised. The only explanation given was that Sam Adams is one of their best selling beers so they mark it up. Not good enough. Again…cracking selection but being charged in excess of £7 for a pint of Sam Adams is not on. gjs34 - 30 May 2009 23:56 |
