| Can't see the problem here - standard-issue Wetherspoons, but usual cheap beer (supplemented no doubt by the current real ale festival) and a reasonable crowd in for the early evening rush (but not overly so). Would rate it two points higher than the nearby 'Printworks'. rpadam - 9 Apr 2008 00:30 |
| To Rachel 12 The reason for the dead atmosphere is that all the so called movers and groovers have gone up the road (about half a mile) to the other JDW/Lloyds No 1, "The Printworks"! wyndham - 9 Mar 2008 19:56 |
| Came late on a Saturday. The place was dead. The bar staff were quite friendly and you can't knock the prices. But it's really somewhere to come for drinks rather than atmosphere. Rachel2 - 9 Mar 2008 14:40 |
| OK for a stop off if you are on your way from/to Farringdon station but doesn’t have much going for it, even for a Wetherspoons. It gets plenty of custom due to it’s location so no doubt thinks it doesn’t need to try too hard. Opens early for breakfast which is quite handy. Millay - 17 Feb 2008 12:05 |
| I do agree with the generally downbeat comments about this pub, though one of the most miserable of the East European staff (female) surprised me by turning out to be English, after all. There was no trace of a foreign accent when she glided over 2 minutes after the last bell & instructed me to finish my drink. Moreover, the air conditioning had been freezing us all evening. After an hour or so, I'd asked the manager if he could please adjust it; maybe turn one part of it down so there would be at least some place in the pub where it would be warm to sit. He was quite willing to in principle, he explained; but unfortunately it was impossible: the system was 'all one thing' He then chuckled to himself & went upstairs, carrying a full till tray. jackthehat - 21 Aug 2007 21:30 |
