| Reading past reviews about this pub, I am shocked to see that the same Landlord works here. Visited the pub on Saturday night with a few friends, and enjoyed a perfectly nice pint, and apart from the scary looking locals who had apparently been drinking since the pub opened, we experienced no trouble. Until closing time that is and I went to visit the toilets. As has been mentioned several times before, the door was blocked by an extremely drunk fellow who I can only assume was 'in charge' (so he slurred to me) One of the toilets was broken, but the other one fine, but rather than let me use that one, I got a torrent of bad language and a fistful of aggressiveness. As a woman, having a man who clearly shouldn't be served more alcohol than he can take, shouting at your face mere inches from your own, wasn't a pleasant experience. Suffice to say I returned to my table, put on my coat and left with my friends vowing never to return to the place again. I simply do not understand the stupidity of management, regardless of whether they're working or not, drinking to such an excess that surely they must know that it really isn't a good advertisement for your pub. In the end I used the loo in a lovely Irish pub around the corner with a charming landlord who even got us a cab back to the sticks for us when we left. Perhaps this neanderthal thug of a landlord could learn from his example. Awful place, and avoid at all costs unless your looking for a fight. MD16 - 18 Feb 2008 11:21 |
| Interesting two tier layout, the bar is at street level with a larger area reached by stairs either side of it. Nice looking traditional back street boozer, etched glass, brewery mirrors, pool table, no tourists, locals chatting, that sort of thing. We need proper pubs like this to survive, so many are disappearing and being sold for development. It is opposite the disgusting looking Purple Turtle. Millay - 23 Dec 2007 21:07 |
| I popped in for a quick pint before going to a gig at the Purple Turtle, the barmaid was nice and friendly and my pint of Courage Best was fine. I didnt have to use the loo so I can't comment on them. I'd definately go back for a few pints before a gig. mannyowar - 14 Sep 2006 12:18 |
| I wouldn't go here if I were you. And if you haven't been here then I truly want to BE you. It's the worst pub I've ever been in - no lie. And I've been to Benidorm. It's so bad, in fact, that I felt it necessary to sign up here and write a review to forewarn you. Friendly advice... Don't bother trying to be polite to the group of has-beens huddled to the right of the bar, because they won't reciprocate. In fact, I felt lucky to escape with my limbs intact. And God forbid you need to urinate without solid proof that you were one of the nine punters present on a Friday night who purchased a pint in there (a simple equation for the landlord: beer + bladders = urination). Come to think of it, the landlord was one of the most unfriendly human beings I've ever met. And I ought to stress again, I've been to Benidorm. I can't be bothered to write any more 'review' because it's genuinely depressing me thinking about this place. I can only hope somebody, somewhere daubs a big capital 'W' in front of the word Anchor, with an accompanying arrow, pointing directly at the spot where the landlord stands. Looking dyslexic is a small price to pay for telling would-be punters the truth. Hell, if they've got time on their hands, they could always cross out the 'and' and replace it with 'less' - I've heard policing is poor in the area, so... spuz_gumph - 19 Aug 2006 00:06 |
| For a moment there I thought I'd got the wrong pub! Seems I must have got on the right side of the landlady! I've visited a couple of times recently, and although the music is a bit loud, its ok. I coudn't remember where the toilets where, which as I'm blind can make finding the toilets in a crowded pub a bit of an issue, but the staff were very helpful offered help without being patronising. I agre its not like it was in the good old days, but compaired to a lot of the local pubs its still quite good. valbear - 9 Aug 2006 17:22 |
