Recently revisited after an absence of several years. Served by a vast barmaid in leopard print leggings, who was wearing a top cut low enough to reveal the tattoo on her boob. She had a baby tucked under one arm while she was serving beer.
At a table nearby, there was what seemed to be a 'mobile manicure service' where several tattooed women (including one who had a remarkable tattoo of a black eye) were having their nails done.
It was hard to work out which customers were drunk, and which were just a bit 'challenged'.
Shame, back in the late 90s, this was a good pub. Now it's worse than anything elseI've been in in Maidstone..

Kronenbourg was a good pint

Saturday night in most town centre's usually means gnags of rowdy young people out getting smashed. This is were the rowdy old people go.
The front was almost totally fenced off as they digging up the street outisde - pity they didn't completely fence it off. Went for a pint of Kronenbourg as it seemed about the best bet.

For a pub in such a prominent position in the town it's a massive let down. Nothing against Maidstone as we have a similar example in Dover!
We wandered in and the place just felt forbidding. There were no real ales available and we did an about turn and left.
To be honest if there had have been a decent ale on we would have done the same thing.
A dive.

The arse hole of Maidstone. The majority of people that occupy this joint are paedophiles, perverts or freaks of some other kind. There are a few very friendly locals. It is jsut terrible.

Used to be a right shocker, but the inside seems to have been smartened up somewhat since my last visit. Also, unlike my previous rare excursions into the place, it had a real ale on (Master Brew) which - whilst not exactly in top condition - was perfectly drinkable. The barmaid seemed friendly enough, and she seemed confident enough of her customers to leave the bar untended for a couple of minutes during a quiet spell to nip outside for a smoke. Despite its prime location, I still couldn't exactly recommend it to anybody, I will acknowledge the modest improvement (albeit from a very low starting point).

Its being run by someone new/old now, I can't remember. I think they've stopped doing food as well.

One endearing memory of this establishment I shall carry with me for many years was when, upon buying 2 pints of bitter, the delightful tatoo'd barkeep from beneath his low-set brow muttered the following unlikely phrase through his protruding lower jaw "I dunno how you can drink that shit. I like Lager.".
I am unsure of which business etiquette school he went to, but it is probably not one that Enterprise Inns should recommend to future tenants. I believe that the low rating (which appears to be plummeting by the hour) is a true reflection of this pub.
The previously mentioned early afternoon vomit tributary was the nail in a very leniant coffin as a post-work drink venue.
In essence - F*cking Shite.

oh there were a nice set of young gentleman that used to go there just after 5 but I think they've started to go elsewhere .... where have you gone? please get in touch!
|
this pub is full of dirty smelly men. being a big on top lady I was put off with all the starring. music is bad, decor is bad, drink is bad.... the only good thing going is the IT machine
|
Lovely outside terrace was only marred by the young gentleman throwing up his afternoon's drinks at 5:10 p.m.
|
It is not a good pub at all.
Sticky tables, different TV Programmes all on 3 TV's
Starred at by the local people is probably the least of your problems.
Maybe the Metel?? in the other guys mash was his mates fork :-)
|
�2.90 for a pint of Fosters. Ridiculous. I know it's gone up (what hasn't), but that is beyond the pale.
If it was a great pub, you could understand it and might not object, but its only plus point (and it's a minor one) is that it's on the High Street.
|
went there 4 bangers an mash an ended with a bit of metel in my mash. did mention it to the landlady!!!! didnt even get a sorry. very poor. would never go there AGAIN
|
i wnet there in april this year very nice pub. friendly and most helpfull. yes people stared at for while but has the night went i really enjoyed myself... beer good too.
|
Really rubbish, boring pub. They have Tavern Snacks which is a plus point though. Seems to be open very late (been in there after 12 and got a pint in). You get stared at if you go in there and are under 25.
|
Used to live in here when it was an O'Neill's (and I hate chain bars). Now it's just a standard pub, with standard beer and standard staff. Certainly nothing special, and there's much better just along the road (Old House at Home/Druid's Arms?).
|
Tired, scruffy pub stinking of dog ends and cheap roll ups. The floor in the main room is a mix of carpet, floorboards and stone. All greasy. A builder's pub. Serves cask ales (Harvey's) but nothing was available on my visit. The keg Caffrey's tasted clean enough.
