drinkers only, no real ales, has sky becoming expensive and need cleaning up

There is plenty of potential trouble at this corner pub. Intimidating atmopshere coupled with a run down appearance mean this is one for the hardened regulars only

Went in here before watching Hartlepool at Gillingham. Not a bad pint and average price. Plenty of locals including a Charlton Athletic fan who kept telling us that him and his mate had been drinking since 6pm the night before!!! Once a few more Pool's fans came in he quickly headed for them though.
Had great entertainment watching the many motoring incidents that occured at the traffick lights outside. Top Fun!!!!
Very much a locals pub, but more space than expected inside, and they had the cricket on Sky TV which kept us happy. I also noted a juke box in the corner. Staff were friendly and some were even quite pretty!!!! Would visit again.

An OK but noisy and fairly unwelcoming pub.
You certainly feel out of place in there. It is usually ram-packed full of locals and you feel that there is potential for trouble, although, in all fairness, i've been in there a few times over the years and I haven't seen any.
The relatively new decor with its plasma screens and black leather sofas was a welcome touch but it has the "can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear" feel - it is loud and pretty much full of heavy drinking men, especially on match days.
Overall, you could do worse but I wouldn't recommend staying for more than one - there are better pubs in the area.

Now, maybe it was me, but the music played yesterday was:
1) Don't leave Me This Way by The Communards
2) You Spin Me (Right Round) by Dead or Alive
3) Do You Really Want To Hurt Me by Culture Club.
Not sure if there should be a rainbow flag outside or not. Pleasant enough but uninspiring, which I seem to be saying an awful lot on here.

No atmosphere, standing in any area of this pub makes you feel like a goldfish in a large fishbowl. The pub has been recently renovated but is not in-keeping with the way of the locals, would be far more suitable for london. prices are expensive and no house drinks are available. and as for being a sports bar???? a small television in the corner just doesn't cut it, anyone who actually wants to see the sport would need binoculars, and would be better off going to the Britannia just a few doors away

Another boozer that was only used when getting off the train @ Gillingham! Think the Landlord at the time used to be in the Parachute Regiment.

This pub has been renovated somewhat since the last couple of reviews. It�s now decked out with black leather sofas etc and everything has certain sheen to it. I popped in on an afternoon and the place was fine. However, baring in mind its high street location, I wouldn�t like to say what it could be like on a Friday or Saturday night.

I have been in this pub a few times and everytime I go in it gets worse and worse,it used to be one of the nicest pubs around but has gone downhill,the staff are not nice theres only one girl in there that actually made the effort Hazel I think her name was but a shame she was only standing in for somebody should have more people around like her.

High Street corner location opposite Gillingham Railway Station. A very tired looking pub - the only customers appeared to be tramps and winos. The beer here is very cheap - the last act of a very desperate landlord. There would be no loss to the world if this place closed.
