| It's great that pubs like this still exist. Get in before we lose this one too. Bazzerboozer - 1 Dec 2007 19:29 |
| I love a grotty old man's pub as much (or more) than anyone. But the last comment's right- having a pint in here is like staring into black heart of infinity. I tried to use it as a local (I live across the street), but the bar staff and regulars just don't want anyone else intruding on their miserable Samuel Beckett style establishment. Even if you walk in quietly, order a drink, sit in the corner and drink it in silence, you will feel the pub's collective disaproval push your chair telekinetically towards the door. Phucough, if the lease comes up and I win the lottery, I'll go halves with you- we could do with a pub round here which isn't a gastro/art gallery kind of place. anonymous - 9 Mar 2007 13:58 |
| On a sat nite was empty except for some regulars at one end of the bar. Magic FM on the radio, priceless. Really depressing place, as if it was in the dead centre of a black hole. It'll take more than a mild on draught to change this 1970's relic. anonymous - 12 Sep 2006 15:43 |
| All that's missing is a couple of handpumps, serving a mild and a bitter. Place would get packed then. It is unlikely that such an idea would be heeded as it looks like the same people have been running the pub (and drinking in it) for decades and for them a sudden change would be unsettling. If for any reason the pub changes hands PLEASE read this note. Phucough - 31 May 2006 18:58 |
| Bust a move in here on the best all dayer of my life. We had just staggered down from Hampstead heath with a bag full of about 16 Carlsberg Exports which we had set ourself the challenge (it was a 24 pack and we'd already smashed 8 of them, mind you to be fair they were only half pint bottles so not as bad as it sounds). We were understandably busting for a slash so went in here. Really comedy little place. Stuck in a time warp. Quiet with just a few giro cashers sitting at the bar. Strange outdoor loo arrangement I seem to remember. There were some framed cartoons on the wall that seemed to indicate this was a betting pub - reinforced by the racing results being on Ceefax on the corner telly. Hilarious stop off on a great day. anonymous - 6 Mar 2006 11:39 |
