| Visited on the afternoon of New Year's Eve. My first visit to this place since it was the Finnock & Firkin, and prior to that Raleigh's and the Sir Walter Raleigh. Recent posts refer to a good range of beers, I think this is from the perspective of people who go for expensive/premium/continental lagers, fruit beer etc. As regards real ale, the choice is less impressive: on the day Pride and GK IPA. There was a third handpump not in use. Choice of three keg ciders, but no real stuff. Staff were reasonably polite and efficient. Some glasses were arranged on the bar with prominent invitations to insert tips. This might be offputting, but having seen some of the attitude merchants they had to put up with I ended up slinging the odd coin in myself. Unfortunately Upper Street has always had its fair share of these types - walking in and seeing there was only one member of staff, serving someone at the time, then ostentatiously walking out as though everything should stop for them. Disabled acess (via side door in Theberton Street) and WC. Martinl - 20 Jan 2009 19:01 |
| The burgers are great and seem genuinely home made! Great beer choices as everyone's already said, chilled out atmosphere during the week though packed like everywhere else on Upper St at weekends.. Sundays are also fab for a good roast. Anon72 - 25 Oct 2008 11:56 |
| Marvellous boozer in a great location. Has thus far managed to stay the right side of poncey. Great range of beers, although a shame that they've recently lost a few of the more obscure German options in favour of your more standard beverages. BobsHarmonica - 14 Apr 2008 20:08 |
| I've spent some really pleasant afternoons in here, drinking the banana beer (ask the staff, can't remember what it's called) and playing one of the board games. Very recommended if it's for a long session or a swift one - an oasis in a sea of chain pubs Dan1976 - 11 Feb 2008 13:27 |
| Called in here on Saturday for some lunch and will definately be making a repeat visit. Nice beers on tap - went for Erdinger. Really good food menu - went for some tasty sandwiches but could have went back for more food later. Reasonably priced and delicious. The staff were really helpful and friendly. Really enjoyed a lazy relaxed Saturday lunch. n82 - 9 Jul 2007 14:55 |
