Well, it may not be everyone's cup of tea but I've always found this Pub to be very welcoming. Guinness is pretty good and music on most weekends. The chef from next door is very friendly too and food looked great, though I've never eaten there.

Not the best pub in the area but not too bad. As for it being a 'plastic paddy' pub, as an Irishman (called Patrick!) I can only say that the only criteria for an Irish Pub is Irish people in it! Doesn't matter how much 'Oirish' tat there is on the walls. Hence all the bars in Ireland are Irish Bars! Anyway, this hasn't many Irish people in it, partly because it doesn't seem to make any effort to show irish sport! O'Neills up the road is better for that!

Well, as one poster says, if you dont like proper Irish Pubs dont go here. Stick to O'Neils or equally bland venues. If you like a bit of crack, great Guinness (one of the best pints in London), bit of a sing song, Gaelic football on several TVs (and SPL and EPL), fast, friendly staff, then the Kingdom's the pub for you. I'll ignore the old post about sectarian songs, as he obviously sees any Irish song with a bit of spirit as sectarian...what a load of rubbish! I know pretty much every 'rebel' song ever written/sung and cannot think of one that could be (mis)construed as sectarian. Sorry, not a very good job of ignoring it. Anyway, this great wee boozer is one of the last PROPER Irish bars in Kilburn and long may it continue to do what it does!

Can only agree with the post below lamenting the loss of the O'Neil's Pub. Was in here twice in past seasons before and after Celtic friendlies against Fulham. Then it was a fantastic venue, with good staff dealing with hundreds of raucous football fans in a fast and professional manner. Live music after one of the games was great. But returned last night after the Ireland v Columbia game to find this fabulous pub has morphed into a dreadful 'modern-urban' faceless monstrosity! What football fans there where, were outnumbered by pseudo posh (jumpers draped over shoulders!) types! OMG! How a great boozer has fallen. And despite the fact that it was only a quarter full it took an age to get served...and they'd ran out of Guinness!!! Nuff said really...

The Gipsy Moth, Greenwich
After many years of enjoying this pub, we had a bad experience there yesterday. We ordered food, including starters and when the starters eventually came they were followed seconds later by the mains! Bad enough but when we complained the lady said we should have said we wanted them separately. She did take mains away and they came back fresh later but her attitude was amazing! Great beer, generally great staff (other waitress was great) but make sure you tell them your starters are starters!
