Not a bad spot if you really like real ale. Me, I would rather gin and tech

great pub, an example to all bidding chefs. a huge success

this once fine establishment has slowly been destroyed since the Irish dimension lefted from here over the last two years

Good pub, not as bad as it first seems from the outside. Good spot for a friendly pint and watching the racing. One of the few pubs in the area full of real people, and not a bunch of pretentious wannabees

This is the one of the finest pubs in the east end. It was much better when Danny was the chef though.

Nice stella on tap, good Gin and tonics. I like Marvin the barman,

This is possibly the greatest pub in London. The sport is good and the guys are hot.

I have used this place for over 10 years. They serve restaurant quality food here and the beer is good also. Gary is a great fun landlord.

The Westbourne, Westbourne Green
only pretentious outsiders use this place. the real people living behind in the estate dont go there anymore and havent for a long time,

this is a very trendy pub with really nice food. it used to be a dump many, many years ago. nice for a pub lunch rather than a beer up

good Xmas decorations this year, looks nice after refurb, the staff speak only spanish so bring an interperter, good view of hyde park

A good regular locals pub, friendly with peanuts, better when Big Aussie Tanya was there.

The Fountains Abbey, Paddington
Food not bad, good upstairs to watch sport, a great strategic place for downing a few lagers before nipping accross the road to st marys for a tripple by pass and a hysterectomy

Nice little pub. Good screens with Sky. Food a tad greasy. Landlady is hip, Nigel a bit square. Fine.

A very traditional pub in the middle of a completely altered neighbourhood. The only really safe and relaxed pub in the area.

I had a nice feed of goat's feet here, met a lot of friendly kenyans, interesting spot.

a pub in a prominent area, good for meeting up and going elsewhere

an unusual mix of people, good pub as long as it doesn't get too busy
22 Sep 2005 17:15
A strange pub full of posh drunks in an unusual setting, worth checking out.
22 Sep 2005 17:12
the upstairs is quaint, like being in someone's own sitting room, ok pub.

The Tea Clipper, Knightsbridge
This pub is very smoke-filled and unpleasant. I wish they would mend the ventilation.
22 Sep 2005 17:07
good pub, friendly staff and half decent food, good foe sitting out in the summer.

The Sir Alexander Fleming, Paddington
this looks like some pub from birmingham or coventry in the 1970s. check out the wallpaper.

The Duke of Kendal, Marylebone
Good place for thai food but quite a small pokey spot. Allright for a quick one.

The Pride of Paddington, Paddington
Great place for a few while waiting to go elsewhere, no smoking area during the day, food and big screen, staffed by humourless south african bar staff.

The Marylebone Bar and Kitchen, Marylebone
�4 a pint? You're having a laugh, perhaps circa 2010 but a bit expensive nowadays. Full of ponces.
31 Aug 2005 14:44
Better than it used to be but still a little shady, there are much better local alternetives.
31 Aug 2005 14:43
A lovely little pub, friendly with good berr and ok steaks, what more could you ask for?

The Bricklayer's Arms, Marble Arch
Usually closed for most of the week, this pub is a little dull even when it's open.

The Carpenters Arms, Marble Arch
Not a bad little boozer, decent beer and sky sports, good place for a sunday afternoon.
22 Aug 2005 16:55
The beer is awful and the food is a little suspect too. I like the "fire" in the winter. Passers-by seem to call in to use the lavatory making the pub feel like a giant public toilet on a frosty sunday night. Interesting history.
22 Aug 2005 16:54
An very expensive pub to hang out though the beer and service are of a high standard. Oh, the food is home-cooked and pretty good.
22 Aug 2005 16:48
A good afternoon pub, best avoided in the evening, nice enough food and big screen tv. Closed on Saturday for some reason.
22 Aug 2005 16:44
Small and dull, better off going round the corner to the Windsor Castle
22 Aug 2005 16:38
A trifle boring. It's so bright and quiet that sometimes I wish someone would fart to liven things up. Good value "beer of the week" promotion for �2. A dreadful swedish concoction is also on sale, be warned!
22 Aug 2005 16:31
A great pub, full of interesting artifacts makes it feel like drinking in a museum. Great smell of thai food and a pleasant landlady called Irene. Last orders strictly enforced and glasses taken from your hand at 11:19:59p.m so be warned.
22 Aug 2005 16:27
A good acomodating landlord, clientelle a bit rough. Good spot for a drink while waiting for your fish accross the road.

The Victoria and Albert, Marylebone Station
What else would you expect at a railway station?
22 Aug 2005 16:19
This once fantastic pub has declined steadily over a five year period. The food is not a patch on how it used to be at the turn of the century, the beer is lousy and often tastes like it has gone off and the bar is often shabby. Still a friendly spot however.

The Swan and Edgar, Marylebone
A little gem of a place, you can bring your own take-away on a saturday night and watch Match of the Day with the local lagerheads. Very friendly, great jukebox and beer.
22 Aug 2005 16:12
A great pub to watch football but a bit souless to spend the whole evening. The food is overpriced for such average fayre. Beer is ok.

The Volunteer, Baker Street
What's the point of this pub? Apart from calling here to use the toilets, the answer is that there is none. Why not go to the off-licence and drink in the park.
Great toilets
