| Friendly little boozer for the area serving good drinks. Was pretty full although judging from the some of the clientele I got the impression it was that they were waiting for queues to die down elsewhere or were not on guestlists. Atmosphere on the whole was good with seating available later on as things quietened down. I also get the impression be a nice place for a daytime drink. Couple of ales on and the odd drink or two I had not seen before on tap as well. Opted for Leffe blonde which is a treat. Prices were good for the area. Biggest moan and I know that this is not the fault of the pub that if you go outside of this pub like my friend did for a fag you will get hassled for spare change every 2-3 minutes which is offputting. Overall though if you find yourself in the area it is a recommend from me at least. dazza68 - 3 Jan 2012 15:33 |
| Very small pub and there did seem to be more people on the pavement than inside. It also seems to be the pub of choice for cyclists as there was an ever increasing number of things pilled up next to the toilets. The barman on the night was very friendly and the choice of ales may have been small, but there was a monster amount of foreign lagers to taste. The Czech lager advertised on the window is well worth a go. A bit of a step back in time but a nice find none the less. LennyBanter - 27 Aug 2009 17:24 |
| Small, single-bar pub with a curious collection of ephemera (and customers). Two Fullers beers (including a nice pint of Hock) and a couple of Gales offerings too. All a bit odd-ball, but not bad at all when compared with some of the hideous bars around here. rpadam - 26 Mar 2009 23:27 |
| If you manage to have half as much fun as the staff seem to enjoy you would have had a great night in here. Unfortunately I had to drag the barmaid away from her evening to come and serve me, but she was very nice when she did arrive. Pride, ESB, HSB and Swing Low were all available along with some Czech beers and my pint of Pride was reasonable. The pub needs a little TLC and the light switch to the gents probably needs moving as no one enjoys pissing in the dark, but apart from that this place has its charm and I would return.

| Like the Bricklayers' next door - full of asymmetric haircuts but otherwise indistinguishable from the kind of small solid backstreets boozer that keeps disappearing in less affluent areas. The Fuller's beers are superb. makes it almost possible to have a good session in Shoreditch. pablos13 - 26 Jan 2009 16:16 |
