| It beggers belief that such an establishment can remain open and do business in such a cosmopolitian city, and in such a touristy area. It is grubby to say the least, the toilets are in a word "disgusting" with taps missing from the sinks and the doors for the cubicals unable to lock as they have clearly been kicked in and not repaired. The food is utterly depressing and would not under any circumstances eat there again. I odered a simple sandwich which arrived to my table with bread that you could have hammered a nail with. I complained and was given a replacement sandwich which was also made with stale bread. I asked to speak to a manager to informed me that it is the bread that comes form the suplier and that they get quie a few complaints about it. I got my money refunded however my companion had ordered nachoes which consisted of tortlllia chips on a plae with 4 ramikins of salsa, sour cream and guacamole and a cheese kinda sauce. Not good! nothing like any nachoes ive ever had before. The staff were very unfirendly and i would defo not return to this establishment unless i was desperate for the loo!! evilelmo - 2 Jun 2009 22:36 |
| The most digusting pub in London by a considerable margin. A soul-less, unclean meeting place staffed by cretins and patronised by tramps, thieves, thugs, oddballs, random office types who have missed their train and poor tourists who must wonder what sort of country allows an establishment as appalling as this to exist. Claims to show sport but has only one screen and, on Friday nights, plays deafening dance music so loud that you have to roar your order over the bar (assuming you get served before the smell of sick and piss makes you faint). The most disturbing aspect of this place is that people appear to eat food. How could anyone with ordinary gag reflexes could eat with the atrocious smell and the dirty (FILTHY dirty) surfaces is beyond me. The basement toilets can be smelt from street outside - in the case of the gents, a blocked urinal trough, a short-circuiting hand-dryer and two cubicles splattered with vomit and shit. The fact that a stinking dump as bad as this can attract any customers at all explains why this disgraceful place is still in business: the absence of alternatives and the constant supply of new unsuspecting victims from the station. apbj - 26 May 2009 18:04 |
| Given the current 2.6 rating and many of the previous comments, I must admit that this place (which I have avoided for many years) was slightly better than I expected. Not a lot, but slightly. There was nothing wrong with my pint of Bombardier either (with Greene King IPA also available), but it certainly doesn't score highly on atmosphere or character. rpadam - 15 Apr 2009 22:23 |
| Food and service was excellent but found the washrooms dirty and very smelly Kerrybb - 16 Nov 2008 13:13 |
| A tourist trap. The discerning beer drinker will know of of better places and will go to them. peterwarlock - 5 Oct 2008 12:02 |
