| popped in on the way to the tube as it was the nearest pub, served it's purpose but don't specially need to go back again. Reverend - 18 Jan 2012 15:05 |
| Went there over the weekend and had the worst experience ever in a pub. Went to the bar to fetch a drink and although there were 3 bartenders behind the bar, none seemed interested in serving any customers. They wer just doing there chores behind the bar. One of the bartenders (who i later realised was the manager) was too busy chatting to one of his friend that he did not even see me standing right in front of him seeking some attention to get a drink. Eventually when his friend left, he looked at me and I asked for a pint of becks. He did serve me the pint but the head was about 20% (no exaggaration here). I asked him to top it up and he did put another 3 r may be 4 more drops literally in it. I was very surprised and wanted to speak to the manager but this French Bartender was indeed the manager of the pub. He took the drink anway from me and asked me to leave the pub and told other bartenders not to serve me. Upon enquiring why he has done so, he replied...'because you did not respect me and my decision' That was going to be my first drink of the evening and I was looking forward to a very nice evening but that of course did not start well. After reading some of the comments below, I can now understand completely this pub does not really care about customers just because of their location. Pub in itself is not too bad but the staff and customer services was appauling. I have got lots of french friend but over last few days i have had a couple of bad french experiences......Mr Manager at the pub and just read about Top French Actor Gerard Depardieu peed...in the aisle of a plane....how disguisting. For a good experience and a great evening....please avoid this pub....much better options around. teddybear001 - 18 Aug 2011 15:53 |
| Visited on Easter Saturday afternoon. On entering, we sat at the only empty table, just being cleared of glasses by a barmaid. She proceeded to tell us that a group at the bar were waiting to sit at the table. Why weren’t they already sitting there then? Thanks to some stupid policy we walked out and they will never see the colour of our money, as there are so many other choices in the area. Still, I doubt if they will give a monkeys as it’s not the type of pub which has regular or even return customers. flashharry1965 - 26 Apr 2011 13:54 |
| Must disagree with some of the comments below. I went there for a late lunch with a few work colleagues today and thought it was great! Lots of nice nooks and crannies to occupy without feeling too dingy and some reasonably priced (and tasting) pub grub fare. Drinks a bit on the pricey side but what can you expect from a bar in this neck of the woods? Staff were very speedy and efficient and even brought the change over to our table when one of my dozy colleagues forgot to pick it up after buying a round. All in all, one of the better pubs in this area and certainly no reservations about drinking here again, though can imagine it gets a bit rammed on football days or at the weekend.

| not the best pub we called into on our xmas crawl yesterday 22/12/2010. Just off Piccadilly Circus, it was full of tourists and the beer is three pound odd a pint, average for the area. We've been here a few times as it's near our favourite curry house (spice bazaar, rupert st.) and it's always busy and never had any issues with the place. freezergeezer - 23 Dec 2010 12:57 |
