The Masons Arms, Kensal Green

Went in here a couple of sundays ago and yes there was indeed a DJ playing house music at club decibel level while a crowd of pissed up, middle-aged regulars were making risible attempts to dance to it - kind of surreal. I find real ale quite revolting so didn't pay attention to what was on offer but the staropramen was cold and drinkable. Big plus for this place as far as I'm concerned, gorgeous polish woman smiles at me from other side of bar and we end up going home together........I shall certainly return.

The Green Man, Edgware Road

This is definitely got to be one of the worst boozers I've ever visited - and that's saying something as I've lived on the nearby Lisson Green Estate for more than 15 years and the pubs around here are fairly rough - went in recently to meet up with a friend and got a pint of warm lager in a dirty glass. The place was full of nasty locals shouting at the footie on the TV. Minding my own business at the bar when the guy next to me attempted to pick a fight with me claiming I'd splashed beer on him ( not true ), told him I'd be happy to oblige and he backed down only to be verbally assaulted by the half witted bar staff and told to leave which I was also happy to do, and all this in a pub situated directly opposite Paddington Green nick, one of the biggest police stations in europe. Won't be back, if it was the last pub left in London off licence beer is better and the company at home is nicer.
