Dirty Dick's, Bishopsgate

As my trains were delayed from the adjacent Liverpool Street I went to Dirty Dicks for a beer with my Brother. My first pint was a Young's summer special called Kew, which was horrible, so I ordered my usual Bombardier for my next pint. I suspect the pipes still contained cleaning agent as it tasted absolutely foul, but didn't smell off. On returning this pint a second was proffered, but was just as bad. By now I felt decidedly unwell and had to use DD's facilities....... I have to report that despite this place being one of the most expensive pubs in the City (Peroni is an eye watering �4.25 a pint); it's Dirty not only in name. Had I not been put in a fix by the dreadful beer, I would have gladly passed on the chance to use the vomit encrusted seat, ankle deep in bog roll cubicle, filthy, smelly, dryer free toilet.

Avoid this place like the plague; there are far better places nearby. Anywhere, in fact!
