| Staff are very fast and it never takes long to be served. Yes this place could do with a refurb but it's grubbiness is part of the charm. pubtastic - 24 Jun 2011 09:42 |
| Popped in here for a swift one before dinner. The place was packed with local media types and students. It is grubby and the place looks like it could do with a proper refurb to be honest, but as I said it was rammed so why would they bother? I did like the copper plated till though. Full marks to the staff who held on to something I left behind for a week, very kind. EN5 - 31 May 2011 14:50 |
| I can't drink in here anymore, its just too dirty. camraman123 - 23 Feb 2011 18:21 |
| Whilst I can't dispute the majority of the previous posters comments about the KA, it's very unfair to accuse the staff in this pub of having poor customer service and no loyalty. They're really quite an affable bunch. Anyhoo, to accuse all pubs in Fitzrovia of providing no service to the local community is hogwash, the poster clearly does not live locally. The George, The Green Man, The Yorkshire Grey, The Crown & Sceptre, The King & Queen, The Mason Arms, The Tower Tavern and that's just the immediate locality are all open at weekends. That's not to mention this particular pub which is open on Saturdays. Mayfairlights - 6 Jan 2011 12:52 |
| Reviewed date December 2010. I have been a pub user for 40 years now, and so I know a thing about what makes a good pub. This pub looks like an old fashioned place, and in many ways it is. For example, there is NO FOOD available here at all, just like in the 70's it's peanuts and crisps only! The toilets used to be disgusting, however they have been retiled, smartened up and repainted. There is no hand dryer, the toilet seat is hanging off, and with only two urinals in the gents it is, shall we say, a little 'intimate' in there. The bar itself is quite pleasing, however it really does need cleaning. The brass ware and copper tills are crying out for a polish as is the woodwork and mirrors. The wine glasses come to you smudged with lipstick or finger prints, and the bar staff clearly resent it when you ask them to wash and polish the glasses. Ice is given grudgingly, and there are no wine cooling buckets. All this, and very expensive too. A £3 bottle of super market wine will set you back £17 in here. A pint of Guinness £3.80, Strongbow £3.40. This to be fair is pretty much the norm in this area (Fitzrovia). The pubs I believe have got together to fix their prices, and customer service and loyalty to customers, is pretty much non-existent. The majority of the pubs round here are only open Monday to Friday for out of town office workers, and close during holiday periods e.g. Christmas, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day and Easter. They provide no service to the local community whatsoever. Back to this pub, there is no provision outside for smokers (no canopy, no chairs or tables), and to conclude, the landlord has a take it or leave it attitude. I'm not suprised at the rate pubs are closing in this country, their greed is their downfall. Patrons - 30 Dec 2010 14:37 |
