The Marquis of Granby, Fitzrovia

nice little pub, great outside setting, good drinks, good food... BUT the service Friday May 29 was TERRIBLE and presumably always is if you encounter one particular bartender. Speaking up over the incredibly loud music booming from the speakers just over the bar when ordering after being ignored is not well-received apparently, and he lets you know it. Then he continues to insult you to the other bartenders. Maybe he wouldn't be this catty if he didn't have to deal with a speaker right overhead all night, whoever set that up must be even more of a genius than he is. Anyway, it's really a shame that I actually had to pay this guy for my drinks. I would avoid it if you're looking for a nice night out that doesn't involved being made to feel like a complete jerk just for patronising their pub.
