Now a place called Dr. Inks (get it). Nice decor and nice beers haven't stopped this palce from being continuous dead. Maybe that's because the bar staff have turned surliness and unfriendliness into a fine art?

If you mean by soulless, polite friendly service, good food and a good range of beers including one, admittedly not very well kept draught beer, usually London Pride, then yes ...
|
Now a Slug & Lettuce, so presumably even more soulless with no beer.

Currently closed. Covered in scaffolding and all external signage has been removed. Anyone know what's going to happen?

It's a hogshead.

The Oxford English dictionary describes a Hog as,
"a pig, especially a castrated male reared for slaughter"
and Head as,
"The upper part of the human body, or the front or upper part of the body pf an animal, containing the brain, mouth and sense organs."
Luckily neither description really accurately portrays the Hogshead. In fact although my group of friends constantly argue about the nature of this pub we always come to the conclusion that its great. I give it 9.5 out of 10. "A great place to sink a few pints."

I can�t get enough of beer, birds, fags and footie. Put all these together and you�ve got the Hogs Head, my idea of heaven. I work really nearby so I pop down most lunchtimes, grab a Stella and eye up the lovely ladies whilst smoking a 20 pack of B&H. Went down today in my new white shirt and noticed I was getting g a lot of attention from the tottie. It�s really easy to pull in there which is another bonus too. I am OBSESSED by football so I would trade my mother for the big screen they show all the matches on in there. It really is a home from home. The food is also excellent, although I don�t usually eat, I prefer more of a liquid lunch. If you�re fit, young and female come and meet me there and ask for Simon. Cu there pretty ladies xx

Its a Hogshead - what else can you say? Its just like every other Hogshead - devoid of character with average beer. Always run out of London Pride.
|
Decor is modern, but there's no carpet on the floor and it does get very noisy.

This place is handy if you are caught in the pouring rain or it's snowing or something, but thats about all. My advice to Kelly Jones (see below) and others is to take good care of your belongings whilst in that pub. For an alternatively enjoyable session try the Mulberry Bush in Southwark or the Royal Oak at the Borough. You will not be disappointed by either of the two pubs.

Nice pub - shame about the people.
I know 4 people who have had credit cards/handbags etc. stolen from this pub.
