| A fairly dark, rather unexciting place, but there are worse around. Surprisingly, not too noisy, even when quite full. No real beer. Had to explain the concept of 'topping up' a three-quarter full pint to the barmaid who seemed slightly astonished by the request. rpadam - 21 Nov 2007 20:59 |
| I don't see why these places draw any praise whatsoever. Eating or drinking here is joyless. The decor reminds me of my office and the people could be crash dummies, for all the individuality they have in their weak minds. I am sure the pizzas are nice but frankly madam I don't give a damn anonymous - 12 Sep 2006 11:49 |
| My local charges 2.20 as shot, AND it's on a 35ml optic - i.e. 40% bigger than the standard 25ml. A bottle of tonic is £0.95. Thus a large G&T in my local will set you back £5.35. "Caveat Emptor" 5thearlofwimbourne - 12 Sep 2006 11:14 |
| I have just moved to the area and as a place to meet friends it is perfect. I know it's not a typical "pub", but for a pizza, good music, decent beer (if it is all lager), good wine list and cocktails it is fine. It's not trying to be a pub, just a good place to relax and enjoy yourself. Contrary to the previous writers the bar staff and very friendly and attentive, good venue!! anonymous - 12 Sep 2006 10:39 |
| A £2-3 mark up per drink is more than slightly above the going rate, especially in a place that (in my opinion) had nothing going to merit it. On that principle, they should be charging £5-6 a pint. Plus it's absurd that a place does £5 cocktails, but £8 double & mixers. Anyway - they could charge £2 a drink and you wouldn't catch me back. Poor service, no atmosphere, poor beer selection (hence the G&T choice), and a music policy that was - in volume and genre - totally out of place with the venue. topdog_andy - 9 Jun 2006 12:24 |
