The Hook, Line and Sinker, Twickenham

i hate this pub since the old manager left. things have changed around and i have heard its shutting down now.... thank heavens! hopefully a change of staff will change things for this place and just as it was starting to get better too! i dont know if fullers are selling it or refurbishing it but they should bring back the young guy that left in november as he had the right idea about how this bar should be run. lets hope things pick up after it opens so it rivals the grand union, the bear and the webbe ellis.

not great....just tends to fill up with the staff and thier mates, if you are a normal customer off the street you may have to disturb them from thier chats on the sofas in order for them to serve you! and the young manager having a pint whilst working....is this normal???.......

The Bear, Twickenham

this place is normally busy and its not bad. the staff are all very young though which does make you think the service and experience there wont be up to much. this is essentially an over 25s bar, bit too pricy for the students. the rear of the bar looks like a gay bar with pink fluffy cusions and the front looks like a loung from pulp fiction! bit retro. popped in there last friday and it was kinda busy but just abit flat....not a great atmosphere. went to another bar opposite that seems to be nicking their customers! maybe the tide is changing for the bear!

I visited this bar on Friday evening and it was packed! Easily the busiest bar in Twickenham but not full with either young chavs or stuck up toff, just a decent range of sensible people having a great time. The band they had on were great and really kept it rocking till late. As with most places in Twickenham, this place gets busy when theres sport or on a weekend but as theres so many other options to dine with in 2 minutes, its fairly quiet in the day and when theres nothing special on. Saying that, the staff seemed like they were enjoying it and were friendly! which makes a good bar i think. Will definalty make this a regular weekend spot.
