Dark, unremittingly grim pub where the usually drunk locals exude the threat of violence. The Charlie Chaplain manages the extraordinary feat of making the nearby Rockingham Arms look less crap.

Set within a concrete jungle, it's definately not the sort of place to go for a romantic/civilised drink! Looks dodgy from the outside but I've been in more threatening pubs than this though the UV lights in the toilets give an idea as to what sort of clientel this pub attracts. Plus points are the staff seem friendly and they have various theme nights though disappointingly just had Websters on tap so I don't think they'll be making The Good Beer Guide anytime soon. This place is just about OK and fairly cheap too but I think only skint students and the great unwashed will ever want to return.

5/10.

A shocking hovel that was curiously well frequented when I popped in over the weekend. I don't know the area particularly well, but there must be something better nearby.

Have to agree with the locals on one point though. Man Bags are right out. So last season.

What a pub. Clean, tidy, friendly and all welcoming of men with 'man bags'. Seriously, this place is a dump. Dirty, dark, crap seats. Always good to hear a septuagenarian start mouthing off as you are carry a bag with stuff in it. It was 45 minutes of my life I have lost, and thankfully will never experience again!

This is a dodgy pub. Perhaps the fact that the whole area is being redeveloped has a lot to do with it. I have said before (under other Elephant & Castle area pubs) that there are too many pubs in this area and some should close: this is one of them. That would give the decent pubs (there are some!) a cjhance to survive.

Don't come here unless you like the Wild West saloon ambiance.
