Never been here, but the picture puts me off. Do people really queue up to get in a pub? I certainly wouldn't.

No choice if you like bitter. Plenty of seating and good if you want to watch sport on TV. Chain aimed at the young. Pricey.

Cheap drinks!? You must be kidding! If you sign up to their loyalty card nonsense then maybe... BTW, their WiFi is not always working, not a major issue for most, but worth knowing if it's important to you.

Not a bad place really, went here the night before new year, which must have been the quietest night southends ever seen. Cheap drinks, and a laugh watching the kareoke.

This has got to be one of the worst places i've been to - terrible!!!!

Nice sleekly designed bar with comfy sofas. Has WIFI too, but that seems a bit out of place with the clientele, which often consists of the "Bruv" chav/criminal underclass, which is the curse of most Southend pubs.

This is a fun place to be during the day, i love these big pubs with loads of couches an nice seats to sit on. From what i've been told the food is rather nice, and the drinks are fair priced as you'd expect from a JD's.

There is one big downside though, this placed does attract the local muppets at times, an the odd scrap does occur maybe on a friday/saturday night or on a match day, other than that it's a refreshing place to have a few pints.

A truly fun bar what turns into a club at weekends. Filled with the best looking guys and girls in Essex. really friendly bar and door staff. Great tunes spun out by some hunky DJ-Paul, great value food much better that the crap you get at wetherspoons and always quick service with a smile.

Its my no1 choice in Southend

Large one bar Wetherspoon type bar.Cheap food. Buy a "v" card for a pound and get 20% off some beers.Not much in the way of real ales so not worth a visit if you like real ales.Ok for the so called "students" from the college around the corner.All I can say is,first and last time.
