Found ourselves standing outside this place watching the Smithfield Nocturne Bicycle Race on Saturday, and ventured inside for refreshments. I agree with last post, great location, good outside pavement vibe, but when I have to resort to drinking overpriced Guiness instead of draught bitter, it always gets the thumbs down.

I can't comment on what it's like at night, but when I visited for a lunchtime drink recently it was incredibly depressing. Maybe it looks better in darkness, but the daylight showed up tatty furniture, chipped paint and a lot of dust. Thank god for the tables outside! It's a weird wedge-shaped building in a great location - it doesn't make sense to let it get in such a state.

Charterhouse used to be a nice, quiet little bar a few years ago. However, it has veered strongly into the “trendy” territory in the last couple of years, I guess to rub shoulders with similar neighbouring “trendy” venues like Fluid or and Fabric.

I found the service has got sloppy, the bland beer and lot more expensive and the bar became rammed and loud – which isn’t good for such a small venue. Still, if you enjoy this kind of thing, and know the finite differences between trip hop, acid-jazz, funk soul and the like, then you could do worse.

Looks like people either love, or loathe this place. I sit firmly in the 'love' camp.

Always a good crowd, nice single girls aplenty, reasonable drinks, good DJs upstairs on Thurs/Fri/Sat nights, open til 2am..... can't ask for much more really. Never fails to disappoint (me, in any case).
