| It's quite possible that I am Bradwan's big fish in the shallow end. I was there when he visited and the price of the upstairs room increased every time he spoke. It can be hired and catered for very reasonable rates. (if you want food and a bar you can have them. But of course it costs) As for downstairs I'll endorse all of the last of the breed of true local pubs reviews that precede. shallowend - 24 Apr 2008 18:14 |
| It is a small pub with fish who think themselves bigger than the pond, espeicially at the shallow end of the bar.. I asked about hire fee for the not special upstairs room for a possible show, and the landlord/manger quoted me a price that would have made me laugh if I was not a good actor; and would have made me cry 10 years ago. The beer is as good as 'Youngs' brewed by Charlie Wells gets, and the barman from Gdansk is very good. IClerkenwell was always a bit radical and a bit seedy, I hope this boozer stays much the same; and with london property being this year's avocado bathroom suite, it just might. bradwan - 17 Apr 2008 23:56 |
| What a dump. It was full of old men boozing, who looked like they had been there for the last 40 years. I felt really conspicuous as I was wearing a dress. Bar staff were pretty rude. Wouldn't go back, I don't care if it is unpretentious! stuartw - 24 Mar 2008 17:04 |
| "Why was it empty on a Saturday night?" - BitterShurn. IIRC, it always used to be closed on a Saturday night. Maybe people have yet to get used to the new hours? Biggles - 14 Jan 2008 09:41 |
| SUPPORT THIS PUB...Why was it empty on a Saturday night? A small traditional pub in an area where alot of pubs don't open at the weekend. Youngs range of beer, with an occasional guest. Average prices for the area. Good food menu, friendly staff. The open coal fire is normally lit. I thought there were some rules about this in the City? Still, there are also radiators for those who object. Steely Dan played unobtrusively in the background. BitterShurn - 14 Jan 2008 00:11 |
