mintyboom - i heard they sold up and moved to Spain. I think the loss of custom when the nearby drama school closed was the final straw.
the TV screens are a nightmare - was in there a few Saturdays ago and the staff put Prime Instinct on four tvs. No wonder the place closes early most nights,
This Tv thing is becoming increasingly annoying in loads of pubs -

This is now called Tufnells. Seen some flyers for a comedy club that is due to start in the upstairs part from 2nd Jan. Hopefully this pub is on the up.

the food looks good and is fancy. but for the price it has been bland each time ive eaten there.

food over priced - looks nice but very bland, teh food that is.
populated by a lot of nobend chunky young succesful blokes talking about their Audi TT's.

The Grave Maurice, Whitechapel
now called the Q Bar, new owners have ripped out anything decent from the run down Maurice. Got to say though that the place is fairly unique - have a look for yourself.

Great pub for a pint. Friendly owners and staff. no tiger stripes on the outside.

the owners have painted on the outside (remember the outside is painted tiger stripes)
'Open Late' 'Coz this city is a tiger baby!'
now anyone who likes to drink in this place is a turd.
ive lived within 2 minutes walk of this place for 4 years and have ventured in 3 times. the 2nd and 3rd only because every other pub was shut.
why go when you have the black bull, the white hart, the blind begger within 1 minutes walk?

The White Hart, Whitechapel
rampantwurzel - good news.
the white hart is a great pub, although it may have a poor selection of real ales. and the food does vary, cheap and plentiful but not always the best quality but they do try.
personally i have had many a good time there over the last 7 years. It has a wide variety of customers, young and old, local and new to the area and it manages to provide something for all of them.
As for this chav business what you mean is that it actually has some young locals in it. This may seem unusual in London, and indeed this sort of thing seems to upset a lot of people, but this pub is all the better for it. (sussh dont tell anyone but I heard that most of them dont even have a first degree let alone a post-graduate qualification)
If you want a pub with a clientel that consists of 90% graduates from outside of London then this isnt the pub for you. But if you want a pub with a good mix of people where you might end up having a laugh then give it try.
