| Fairly basic pub, but you cannot knock it for its ales. Went in on the way to the footie today and they had six real ales on plus a decent cider. fair enough. philanders - 13 Sep 2008 18:09 |
| Popped in here the other night for a couple. Ok place with obvious die-hard regulars in attendance. My friend tried out the real ale and states they were fine and my amber nectar was good. Sherlock_Holmes2nd - 22 Aug 2008 14:07 |
| Since moving to Hitchin a little over a week ago The Nightingale is taking the role of our preferred local. We've been in about every second night over 10 days and can say that the usual crowd is a small bunch of locals, some seem to be permanent fixtures, and none appear to be anywhere near 16! (I have no idea what the previous reviewer was on about.) The regulars and landlords are friendly, and the pub has a relaxing and accepting atmosphere. The big pluses for this pub are: * 5 hand pumps with real ales. Apparently they change regularly, but at the moment from Tring: Colley's Dog, Side Pocket for a Toad, Wild Boy Pete (May monthly); and from Nethergate: Umbel Ale (Corriander Porter, mmm), and Greedy Pike. They also have a Westons scrumpy. * Superb patio area out the back with a BBQ and a pond. (The area is large enough that us non-smokers can usually find a corner upwind of the smokers.) Other notes: * There's also a dart board, a pool table, and plenty of seating inside, including some sofas. * As reported previously, the mens' toilets are a little rough (but I've seen far worse throughout London.) * The Nightingale tends to be rather quiet. Clearly a lot of effort has been put in with the new outdoor area and excellent beers. I really hope to see the place getting busier! yvan - 12 May 2008 11:50 |
| For ounce I agree with the pieeater, this pub is so stuck in the 70's, Its not nice, Very much a locals pub, locals that are 16. Could be a gold mine! More welcomming across the road in McDonalds, and thats saying something! steve23 - 13 Feb 2008 16:11 |
| Not been here for awhile, what a tranformation. Good real ale, friendly people, nice atmosphere. No sky unfortunatley but able to watch the rugby on a big screen, with other tv's around the pub. Fantastic new patio, covers the whole of the back of the pub, with covered area to stop those ciggies getting wet, water feature with real fish and a BBQ for those hot summer days (Global warming! bring it on). Spoke to the landlady about the toilets and she informed me they are due to be refurbed over the next few months. OldGrowler - 11 Feb 2008 14:33 |
