O'Neills, Bromley

Went here for the first time the other week on a Saturday night. Not bad, damn big place. Full of dancing young strumpets to keep you entertained. Had one of those bloody bog trolls though, but at least this one had some humour, with such lines as

No splash, no gash
No Armani, no poonani
No water, no daughter

Great. So we settled in, racked up the drinks, had a few shots to get the night going, then stared at each other in amazement when the lights came on 11pm

What??? You've got a mazzive pub packed to the rafters, AND YOU CLOSE AT 11 ON A SATURDAY NIGHT????????

I thought it was against the law for an O'Neills to close any earlier than 1am?

Humbug!

Aren't people allowed opinions anymore then, or do they all have to be positive?

Some people have good experiences, some people have bad. I thought the whole point of this forum was to give a view of a pub, both good and bad, so therefore the landlord/owner/whatever can have a look and act on it?

Get over it

The tup is the best in the area, but that's not saying too much, lets be honest. Shall we consider the other pubs in the immediate area?

Venus - Looks like a bath showroom

Kiss Me Hardy - More mutants in there than the X-Men's annual dinner and dance

Royal Standard - Looks like the only people that drink in there are already dead

GJs - Probably the next best pub, but still about as charasmatic as a fart in a lift.

Baobab/whatever it turns out to be - Never stays open more than about 4 days

I used to love the Tup, great atmosphere and brilliant laugh, then it went downhill rapidly. Christ knows why, maybe it reached its pinnacle and no one cared anymore. I've been to all the Oompah nights so far and the last one had a fraction of the amount of people there than usual - maybe something to do with whacking the pints up to �4 a pop (its Colliers bloody Wood, not Mayfair).

I still go down there from time to time and it's still ok, just nothing like it was a few years ago.
