This is an excellent pub for keeping local scumbags out of better 'Stow establishments - keep it up Bell enders.

I am new to the area and have been trying to find a pub which I can call 'My Local'. I visited this pub over the weekend, I was totally disgusted by the way it looked and smelt, ie the mens toilets were out of use due to a urine flood that had seeped into the main pub. At this point I had wished that the smoking ban had not been in force as the tabaco smell would have dampend the horrid smell.

The management seemed to be a teenaged girl that took great pride in showing the public and her staff that she was in charge, unfortunatly she took credit in running Londons worse drinking establishment that I have ever seen.

The night I was in it was pretty empty, being a weekend, but it seem that the customers that were there were on their way to somewhere better.

The entertainment was in the form of a house DJ who seemed to be drinking more than the customers, Give me a laptop speakers and free drinks all night and I am sure I could do better, as thats what he had!!

No food offering avalible thank god!!! as I am sure it would be a major Health & safty risk.

The pint of carlsberg was ok but i had to drink it in the cold beer garden to avoid the smell!!

RECOMENDATIONS
(1) get real management, NOT Children playing adults
(2) solve the toilets out
(3) use a real DJ

Walked in this place, got dirty looks by unsavory characters, smelt the drugs and went straight out. Scared? You would be here!

Crap new manager who knows nothing of the pub business, employs a barman who twightlights as a doorman and drug dealer, toilets are absolute flith you have to paddle through water to get to the toilet seat and you have to ask for bog roll! dont bother going in here unless you want A) drugs B) crap service
