| stopped by mid week after work its been a while! but had a great night, beer was tip top as always,not sure about the last comment as i found the staff quite friendly with very quick service considering it was packed. jonjames - 5 Jun 2009 15:30 |
| Shame. This pub could have been a real keeper but was ruined by rude and unfriendly staff. Slightly off the beaten track but within an inch of Victoria station. If you're paying by card/ no cash tab, watch out for the surcharge they don't tell you about. If you’re not happy about the surprise addition to your bill, you can “pay by cash then”. Although the lager is cheap, it clearly pays for the poor service. Exercise your rights to a good night out by not supporting this establishment. Customers are not wanted here. acusomter - 30 May 2009 01:00 |
| So much better since the smoking ban; used to avoid, but love the local feel now... EnglishGent - 27 Apr 2009 11:14 |
| Hmm, what to make of this place. Made my first visit last Friday night. The first thing that struck me as I entered was the most appaling and overbearing pong, as though the local 'street drinkers' had just left after a vomiting competition. Not nice. However, after getting used to that I have to say that it was very busy, full of rather jolly locals and assorted civil servants all getting happily snotted on the cheap beer. As other reviewers have noted it does have a certain dank, oldie-worldie, charm. It wouldn't be a surprise to see an old man in a corner, dressed like something out of Dickens, taking snuff. But efficient and friendly staff and reliably cheap (and O.Kish) Sam Smith's beer. I'll make another trip some time but I hope they've cleaned the carpets by then... Pumpkinjuice - 6 Apr 2009 13:16 |
| I personally think that the old-fashioned, dark appearance of the place makes it more appealing rather than less so - at the end of the day it's a traditional boozer not a soulless chain bar. It's a place which seems to have a good 'local' following, coupled with a healthy injection of local workers as well. Popped in on Friday afternoon and it was comfortably busy. Sam Smith's OBB was in good form. MINTYBOOM - 9 Mar 2009 12:03 |
