This is now really bad. A few years ago it was popular. Assume due for conversion to flats or something. Shame.

Very tired inside, but I guess some people like that. The ceiling beams are still covered with those rubbish quotes and phrases about drinking that became all the rage (thankfully briefly) in the mid-nineties. My CSI-style forensic deducing leads me to conclude that this explains the state of the interior.

Beer's nothing great (IPA was rubbish) and the place has a slightly down-at-heel feeling generally.

Have been using this place since Jim Thompsons banned football after the dreaded 'refurb'.

It has friendly regulars, welcoming barstaff and landlord - exactly what's required from a local and a refreshing change from Putney's ever growing (and unwanted), plural poncery.

nice.

No live music anymore. No Food. Grubby toilets. Sport when the landlord feels like it. And some offensive and loud talking clients.

In my opinion, dont bother.

Had a drink here on sevral occassions. Very mixed crowd from Builders and plumbers, to students and a few people who seem to annoy everyone else.

If you need any work done on your house, then this place is the place to go with its variety of workers, all willing to offer free advice once you get to know them.

Sky sports has just been returned after the landlord decided to remove it. According to regulars in the pub, this was down to the fact that one table of people (who seem to think that everyone should hear their conversation) complained about football being on. A lot of the regulars moved to other pubs, but sometimes come back.

A mixture of beers, largers, spirits etc. Used to do food, but not anymore.

Many years ago, used to be a gay pub. Still have a few people coming in, all seem to be accepted by the regulars.

A good place to use as a meeting point for friends before moving on. Not worth staying for a night out.

Now has a later liscense for friday and saturnday.
