Friends, Romans, Country men, lend me your ear, in this pub i've heard many a cheer. There is method in this madness, so yield no more sadness. For the Tourists that flock, seem never to mock. Their search for an ale and a true english gent, Doth now fail hearing our cockney accents. For we dont all have fringes, chords and some tweed, instead syringes, swords and some weed.

I have history with this pub, I met my first wife there when we engaged in a mutual slanging match about the poor service and general lack of attention from the hippys behind the counter. I discovered last week nothings changed and beat a hasty retreat before history repeated itself. I can't afford to give another house away. To sum up, busy understaffed, they stock warm bottles to the front of fridges ( I'll do time next time I get a warm corona that some herberts popped a well fingered lime into ). Apart from that its amazimg.

Nothing much to say about this pub. Bar service was friendly but both pints that I ordered were short. Alot of people had ordered food which looked okay. I personally would seek out a better pub in the area.

Well 'JB' we certainly shut 'Mr Anon' up.. he hasn't answered any of our questions. I have revisited this pub more recently, and did in fact get served on that occasion. But i guess that's what bar staff are there for, aren't they..? If you visit this pub whilst Christmas shopping in Carnaby Street nearby, I hope you too will get served & not bard! Happy Christmas Shakespeare.

visited here for the first and last time this friday, and was appauled.

the party in the corner of the bar seemed to be having a good time, a shame they were all beer/fruit flies, feasting on the fruit (destined for drinks) ans swigging on the spills of the filthy back bar

waited for 10-15 minutes for a drink with their first come last served policy, to then get the attension of the bar staff and be laughed at for asking to be served, and then ignored again

the filthiest pub i've ever been in, and having managed pubs and bars for 8 years, is quite an achievement!

the only positive thing about this visit was that i was in agroup of three, but on second thoughts i would have prefered to be in a larger group and refused entry!
