| a wee gem of a pub, a mix of locals, near by workers and the occasional lost tourist and all made to feel welcome.One of those pubs that people say are so hard to find,a real old fashioned boozer,a pool table,a discreet television and a great pint of guinness and well mannered attentive bar staff.my one quibble (is there such a thing as a perfect pub remember all gems do retain a slight flaw) is the erratic volume control of the juke box one minute back ground music the next heart attack alert.maybe this is just a way to keep old soaks like me on my toes,if your in the area pop in. countyjim - 25 Jul 2010 14:03 |
| Been in here a number of times and it's pleasant enough without being memorable. Has a pool table and darts board and a fairly limited selection of beers. The lady behind the bar was pleasant and chatty as was the one other person in there on my last visit (and his dog). cindysaunders - 7 Jan 2010 10:16 |
| I walked into here and was greeted by the very friendly landlady just as one of the locals selected Mull of Kintyre on the jukebox. I thought that I had stepped back in time, especially after spotting the old ‘Open all Hours’ type tills behind the bar. There is a pool table and a dartboard in this long thin bar, not that anyone was playing. The toilets could do with a bit of a scrub as I was very glad to exit them after having a very quick leak. There are four old hand pumps in this pub, one of which was displaying a clip for Toby cask, but alas they do not sell any real ale. I’m not sure what the clip is there for, but there is a standard draught selection and my pint of Guinness was spot on. This is a decent enough pub if you like your old Irish boozers, which I do so I would go back again if passing. Strongers - 8 Jul 2009 11:38 |
| A lovely place, very quiet, ornate old style pub... but no hand pumps sadly. Friendly landlady. Worth a visit to keep these places alive. I'll rate it 7 out of ten even though it has no ale. rob372 - 10 Jun 2009 08:08 |
| I'm pretty sure this is the pub on the corner of Pratt and Plender, although the map as it a few minutes walk away. It's one of those inner London locals with little in the way of redeeming features. The pool table is tiny and seems to be monopolised by 10-year olds. It has an air of loneliness. It sounds very patronising, but you come out feeling sorry for the place. travis - 3 Sep 2004 15:07 |
