The Doric Arch, Euston

haven't been there for a while since managment has changed. decided to pop in some time ago and ws truly disappointed. a woman who apparently is a manager, Zoe, i think, was sitting at the bar stuck to her laptop searching for her date. when we said 'hello' she didn't reply, not even a slight move off the computer screen. i hear it is like this all the time. i have heard she is a real vicious person, when i was told she forced one of her long-term staff members to quit her job shortly after she took over by cutting her hours by over 50%!! no wonder atmosphere behind the bar was kinda though. most of my mates stopped going there because of this new manager, but hey - as she says, she wants to get rid of the scum and get 'decent' customers. are you suprised people don't want to visit as often?
apart from this unpleasant woman people are ok. fat guy is as slow as always - gotta wait about half an hour for him to serve you, 'cause he's still chattin to the previous customer. got used to that by now. only nice people i spotted there were - petite black girl and a guy with a moustache - assistant manager i think. very friendly, quick and quality customer service. helpful and polite. choice of beers was rather lousy so i've switched to spirits. toilets were stinky and filthy. my wife said ladies looked worse than public toilets with allthose tiles coming off the walls...
gonna move to bee louise...doric arch is dead.
and where are two polish girls?? suppose one of them was forced to quit, what about the other one? well, anyway, good for them to go somewhere else. they were far too good for this place...
