The Crystal Palace, Tunbridge Wells
Its a little like that bar in Star Wars I'm not saying any more than that
18 Jun 2012 20:26
Best pub/bar in Tunbridge Wells good beer,friendly staff only slight downside is it gets the odd idiot in which of course can't be helped
18 Jun 2012 20:23
The Sussex Arms, Tunbridge Wells
A bit tatty to be honest beer isn't in my humble opinion great better pubs/bars in Tunbridge Wells
18 Jun 2012 20:16
Went i here recently for the first time in 2 years much improved beer wise and I think price wise but ut still has a bit of a w*nky clientele but it is ten times better than the stonehouse
4 Apr 2007 20:45
I personally do like the priory ive locked horns with tdk before but I have to say that the priory is one of the better pubs in the area it is definitely not unbeatable as the one of the previous comments has stated there are much better pubs in London
19 Mar 2007 13:54
I said exactly the same thing and had my comment took off its not a bad pub but its not the garden of babylon that several reviews have claimed all who have commented on this pub only
12 Jan 2007 22:24
My gripe with this place continues came here last night with my missus ordered what I wanted !reply. weve run out! my next request!reply we've run out!
Got down to what have you got bottle wise?( the draught you will recall from my previous posts isnt great here)reply. Peroni or Corona! after very grudgingly odering the latter I dont think either are that good but thats what was left I then tried to order a glass of white wine for the woman in my life reply. we have no white wine tonight! to add insult to injury the incompitent bar person seemed to think this was amusing!I left before I strangled this extremely irritating person who wont be smirking when they dont have a job because people dont use the place and it shuts down I hold my hands up I was stupid enough to keep coming here not any more though and I give this place a big fat 0/10
9 Jan 2007 07:54
Just as I praised this place for improving it goes and lets itself down I was in here yesterday with a friend it was fairly quiet there was about 10 people in there understanderble being in between chrimbo and new year to be honest but in 3 hours of drinking we had 5 drinks and did not have our table cleared by one of the 2 extermely clueless and miserable bar staff who were on duty at a busy pub you can just about grudgingly understand this but without trying to sound like a up my own ar*e git I really think thats unacceptable it does have potenial if they sort the staff out and get some more interesting beers in
29 Dec 2006 11:36
Not the worst pub Ive been to in the area but it was very quiet I dont know why but it has got a slightly pretenious feel
20 Dec 2006 15:26
I still find it strange that you are so passionate about one pub and a pub to be honest isnt really that good there are several pubs that are much better if you are unfortunate enough to find yourself in the bush yes the local are friendly in 'o' Donoghues but the pub itself is really nothing to shout about to be honest mate Im still just as sceptical but if this is what rocks your boat best of luck to you
20 Dec 2006 12:30
Went here last night to see if I my sceptism was correct it was packed with drinkers and diners nicely laid out bar but the 2 guys behind the bar were clueless I have to admit it though it looks like it is going to be a sucess but it very much aimed at the infamous clapham locals
17 Dec 2006 10:49
The only thing that leaves me sceptical about you boydevil is the only pub that you have commented on is this one that to be brutally honest points to some connection with the place eg you work here or are pals with the manager etc Ive said myself that the locals deserve better than what they were getting but you leave yourself wide open for sniping from people by just the fact that the only pub youve commented on your BITE is this one
16 Dec 2006 14:58
The Mark Cross Inn, Mark Cross
I dont usually praise pub companies individually but in my opinion (for what its worth) I havent been unimpressed in any of the the Chaser group pubs Ive been to, the chaser,the mill,or this one! they are always busy so to be honest whoever they are aiming it at, it works! on the subject of paying �2.90 for a pint tell me any where decent that isnt charging within those price margins
16 Dec 2006 14:46
I am a massive fan of this place but Ive just realised that Im getting married because of the Hare so Im wondering whether I should take a point off?
13 Dec 2006 17:36
The Sound Garden / Biscuit Factory, Tunbridge Wells
Nothing special a very ordinary pub nothing going for it but saying that better than pitcher and piano not that is difficult
13 Dec 2006 17:14
Im afraid I have to agree in the fact it has gone downhill recently however it is still ten times better than the Calf or the Sun not that it is too difficult to be.
13 Dec 2006 12:16
Im in about the same as you I wonder though how well the cellar is looked after when just the girls are left in charge I dont mean that in a sexist way but the owner seems to know what hes doing but the manager I must admit seems to be absent alot of the time I do though still think that its a cracking pub hence I get in there whenever I can I havent experienced the same issues with you.
But I dont really feel that the television interferes with the atmosphere of the place but each to their own I guess.
12 Dec 2006 18:25
Has improved slightly in since I last came in just needs some decent beers and it would be on of the better pubs/bars in the area
12 Dec 2006 10:52
I have to disagree very strongly about that!The Priory is still one of the best pubs in the area by a mile the beer service is top class! I dont really understand why a television is getting your goat up so much but I do agree that the place needs a lick of paint but that is just a very minor grumble if you want spic and span toddle off to Clapham
12 Dec 2006 10:44
The Coach and Horses, Covent Garden
Came here for the first time last week left impressed but I personally wouldnt go as far the 2 previous have but all the same worth popping into
3 Dec 2006 16:47
To be honest nothing special when you consider some of the other pubs close by the bar staff though make it even unspecial with there attitude
3 Dec 2006 16:41
The manager has got a really bad attitude in here I had a few beers and something to eat in here and and very politely pointed out that something wasnt right with our meals (a one off I will state) and his couldnt give a sh*t attitude was terrible I had even told him that I wasnt after any discount for this just that it had happened so he'd know for the future it didnt happen to someone more uptight about these type of errors and his "so what do you want me to do about it'' was in my opinion totaaly uneeded I wont bother a ever coming here again and hope that someone more ars*y experiences the problems I did
28 Nov 2006 18:26
Fantastic news but where are all the t*ssers who are barred from everywhere else going to go?
24 Nov 2006 17:45
The Duke of York, Tunbridge Wells
The best pub in that part of Tunbridge wells dont know if that is saying much though
18 Nov 2006 20:27
The Swan Hotel, Tunbridge Wells
Theres alot worse pubs in Tunbridge wells alot better too
18 Nov 2006 20:25
Only been in here once staff were friendly they do a cracking pint of guinness in here which suprised me worth visiting if your in that neck of the woods.
18 Nov 2006 20:21
Gordon's Wine Bar, Charing Cross
If your after something a little different then this a place worth visiting much much better than champagne charlies along the road
22 Sep 2006 10:17
The Little Brown Jug, Chiddingstone Causeway
Thechum seems to be a big fan of the chaser people did you ever drink in The Hare? I think one of the chaser people ran it.
11 Sep 2006 10:13
Unfortunately seems to have developed some of the pretenious feel I said it didnt have 6 months ago shame I hope it gets back to its previous standard.
11 Sep 2006 09:55
Nice selection of belgian beers on draught and bottled, Budvar Dark as well, didnt try the food! they seems to be trying a little too hard with their menu! worth a couple of drinks but I wouldnt spend anymore time than that worth a visit.
11 Sep 2006 09:38
Anything half decent in tunbridge wells is more expensive! Id rather pay a bit more here and not have to put up with some of the idiots that frequent Tunbridge wells hence this place is worth coming to and paying slightly more.
7 Sep 2006 17:36
The Windmill on the Common, Clapham Common
Came here for the first time in about 6 months on tuesday for a few beers and something to eat.
My previous visits I would have described the Windmill as a okay pub not the best but by no means the worst in clapham.
Roll on 6 months personally I dont like the refurb but each to their own.
However the staff are AWFUL the food way below average Im not a fan.
1 Sep 2006 10:57
Totally agree with the comment below there are much better pubs in the vicinty than this faceless chain bar
30 Aug 2006 12:20
No I am talking about the prince of wales in union road it is a nice little boozer foa span if you look on the comments for the POW in the old town as you put Ive also put my pennies worth on there as well
29 Aug 2006 14:13
I echo the comment below nice old fashioned pub worth a visit
29 Aug 2006 14:07
The Three Compasses, Farringdon
Came here for the first time yesterday average bar serving thai food the castle is a better drinking hole
23 Aug 2006 13:55
What a cracking pub! came here for the first time this week and was very impressed good selection a hidden gem in the olive grove that is stockwell,
well worth trying
20 Aug 2006 20:22
The Bear and Staff, Leicester Square
Not a bad pub for a couple Ive been in here more than once so it cant be that bad
14 Aug 2006 19:35
One of the better pubs in the area Ifound the staff to be very good nothing to grumble about.
12 Aug 2006 12:10
The Crown and Anchor, Covent Garden
Not the worst pub in the area certainly not the best
12 Aug 2006 12:08
The Garrick Arms, Trafalgar Square
Im really suprised (and disapointed that this happened) I have really sung this pubs praise in the past it shows you that you cant judge a book a by its cover.
10 Aug 2006 22:01
My last comment was deleted so I will put a new one on I totally agree with with the comment below the sad thing is this pub has masses of potential if they sort out external and internal maitenence and get a manager/owner who cares about this place enough it could be a gold mine the locals (the majority are a lovely bunch of people) deserve better!!!
10 Aug 2006 21:43
The Crown and Sceptre, Shepherds Bush
A hidden gem in the toilet that is this area the best pub in this area
26 Jul 2006 16:46
Good for a quick pint but the staff are without a doubt awful beyond belief
26 Jul 2006 16:44
Totally disagree with the comment below from campfire the food is excellent certainly not decidedly average like I said before one the best pubs around
14 Jul 2006 03:13
Came here yesterday and was impressed friendly staff we didnt eat but the menu (Dim Sum) looked impressive no real ales which might put some people off but definitely worth a visit.
13 Jul 2006 08:22
Had a few pints in here today it was certainly cold you must have been unlucky this is one of the best pubs in the area.
5 Jul 2006 19:30
The Punch And Judy, Covent Garden
This pub has never been one of the best pubs in London and I cant see it becoming one either I totally agree with Boss_Hogs comment
29 Jun 2006 12:20
Came here last week for the first time because of some promising comments about the place I thought it was nothing special
28 Jun 2006 13:51
No Im positive about which pub Ive visited dont be such a snop clapham this is a pub worth having a look in
24 Jun 2006 03:57
Nice enough pub friendly bloke behind the bar (owners son I believe)worth a visit
24 Jun 2006 03:55
There are some very ropey pubs/bars in this area this dump lives up to that expectancy.
14 Jun 2006 12:31
Came here for the first time on monday have to say its not the best pub Ive been in but the some of the reviews here are unfair I think it has some very good qualities ecspecially the barmans disgust when some pillock tried to pay for a glass of pommigranite juice with his card
14 Jun 2006 03:08
Its in store street so Im positive about bumping into them but you're right stonch I have gone too far about the comments about col students but I still hate this pub.
11 Jun 2006 23:00
Callaghan's Irish Bar, Piccadilly
For the attention of no mild_walkout_mac Im from Thomastown in Kilkenny Ireland perhaps you can explain to me how on earth my previous comment is racist both Irish friends of mine and family have used this term about bars such as Callaghans or O Neils I didnt mean any offence to anyone Irish or anyone English have a look at one of your previous comments about the Hand of China before you have the audacity to make comments like the one abovexxxx
11 Jun 2006 22:41
You have got to be joking this pub is awful Ill be honest Im not a fan of Sam Smith pubs but this is really a terrible pub full of college of law students thinking they're Gods gift. avoid guys!!
8 Jun 2006 22:04
Comment by TheIrishC best pub in Clapham er dont think so unless the only other pubs in clapham you've been drinking in are the Railway and the Sun theres much better pubs in Clapham.
6 Jun 2006 11:03
The Old China Hand, Clerkenwell
I have no problem with people pointing out a pub having a problem with cr*p service and having a grevience that a pub doesnt sell mild obviously thats the end of the world! But is there any need for the racist garbage that has come from nomilds review!
Fine you think the old china is a cr*p pub with cr*p service but just leave it at that!
Theres no need for the other rubbish you spouted mate.
6 Jun 2006 10:46
Nice pub staff friendly worth visiting if you're in that neck of the woods.
1 Jun 2006 17:22
Great pub 4 real ales excellent selection of malts friendly staff has got alot going for it
1 Jun 2006 17:19
Halleuah to that its a toilet it makes the shite bars in clapham look fantastic its a glorified youth club dressed in burberry
1 Jun 2006 12:20
As said below nice pub good beer but the staff really let this potenial gem of a pub down
1 Jun 2006 12:14
Pleasant friendly village pub
serving good food and real ale
Im amazed no one has not suggested this pub before
31 May 2006 13:16
Good atmosphere good food nothing negative to say about it the best pub in that area.
31 May 2006 12:52
Can think of worse pubs in the area I can also think better pubs
31 May 2006 12:47
Not a bad place to have a few pints on a saturday night as most of the idiots are up the top of the town
24 May 2006 09:53
The Mark Cross Inn, Mark Cross
Its reopened went in there on saturday impressive new refurb I wonder if the chum will comment on this fantastic pub.
23 May 2006 14:26
I was dragged in here kicking and screaming at the weekend by some people who are meant to be mates its still one of the worst pubs in clapham and I no longer socialise with the awful people who dragged me in there to give it another chance!!!
23 May 2006 13:38
I know this sounds fickle from my previous comment but this bar is actually cr*p sorry went in there stone cold sober and realised its up there with the calf and the sun in being well shite!
23 May 2006 13:33
Why why why does this awful brand still exsist Laurel should be ashamed of this not that their other brands are much better.
23 May 2006 09:51
Im amazed at just how bad this place is service sh*t atmosphere the same I experienced the same problems with a clean glass but alas was stupid enough to opt for a bottle instead should be in the centre of leicester square so no normal drinkers will be tricked into going in there.
23 May 2006 09:46
The Guinea Butt, Tunbridge Wells
I cant really think of anything positive to say about this place they've had short spells when they've had someone who gives a sh*t about the place the present glorious leader does not have that quality Im afraid.
23 May 2006 08:32
Not one of the better pubs in Tunbridge wells to be honest a certain element get in here and not alot of pride is took in this place to be honest.
23 May 2006 08:27
The Harbour Inn and Restaurant, Bowmore
Thats awful by the sound of it but I think these comments belong on a resturant review not this web site last time I looked its called beerintheevening
22 May 2006 16:33
Friendly staff always has a good atmosphere a little on the expensive side (but it is clapham) but in saying that it is alot better than alot of the bars on clapham high street.
22 May 2006 11:24
Nice enough pub but there are much better pubs in the area.
17 May 2006 10:37
One of if not the best pub in the area great food,beer and service the only thing going against it is where it is unless you're from the area it is a difficult place to find apart from that a fantastic pub.
17 May 2006 10:34
Since it hasnt took me long to realise that there is no happy medium on clapham high street bars/pubs here are either great or sh*t this is the latter very w*nky.
16 May 2006 19:40
The Porcupine, Leicester Square
Realised why the staff look so miserable in here went in a few days ago (early evening)and they had 1 member of staff behind the bar I apologise for my comment about the staff but management need to sort that problem out asap you may not have noticed but you have a pub near leicester square you might get busy!!!!
16 May 2006 16:46
I like aussie beers aka VB Tooheys etc but hate this place totally agree with the dragging knuckles comment this saying that I hate the brand as well.
15 May 2006 11:39
Mixed feelings about this place so so product list most staff nice enough but I did notice some of them struggling with orders aka one looking blankly when someone ordered a corona
15 May 2006 11:35
I was wrong about this place its not one of the best pubs in clapham old town its one of the best pubs in clapham!!! try this place tis a gem of a pub.
15 May 2006 10:00
Ive been drinking in the hare for a while and the comments (has taken a dive since Brian left) are a tad unfair its very true to say that yes Brian was and is a great host Im abseloutly positve he will work his magic on his most recent venture the brown jug, Chris the present manager has had a extremely big act to follow and in my opinion has done well the Hare is still one of the top pubs in the area.
13 May 2006 12:22
The Moon Under Water, Leicester Square
Typical wetherspoons a complete toilet of rude staff and not much else
10 May 2006 11:07
The Marquis of Granby, Covent Garden
Vistited for the first time yesterday good selection friendly staff cant think of anything negative to say really worth visiting
10 May 2006 11:04
The Packhorse and Talbot, Chiswick
Not the worst pub in chiswick but seems to be attracting a certain element if they can nip it in the bud it could be a cracking pub
9 May 2006 10:38
Well where do I start outside untidy staff do not seem to give sh*t and still a certain element of trouble drifting in the place I saw one plate of food sent out and sent back 5 minutes later says it all really.
7 May 2006 12:05
The Sussex Arms, Tunbridge Wells
Came here for the first time in ages last sunday wasnt a fan ages ago still not
7 May 2006 11:58
The Hole In The Wall, Waterloo
Very good product range but for a busy pub not enough staff on so you can wait quite a while to get served but worth visiting.
23 Apr 2006 20:02
The Sherlock Holmes, Charing Cross
Expensive seems to be catering for the tourists that sometimes swarm the area friendly staff the only positive note I can think of.
23 Apr 2006 19:58
The Ship and Shovell, Charing Cross
One word awful the worst pint ive had in a long time a very rude couldnt give a sh*t girl behind the bar I will not be returning in the forseable future
23 Apr 2006 19:55
Came here yesterday for the first time and was fairly impressed no pretence to the place unlike certain other pubs/bars in the area
21 Apr 2006 16:09
Went here for the first time tonight I actually didnt think price wise it was to shabby good range pleasant staff nothing special nothing to grumble about though average london boozer
7 Apr 2006 21:49
I feel Ive got to comment on this place (a)I do appreciate that on a friday a bar/pub is likely to be busy.
(b)That despite drinking in here on a regular basis you dont have exclusive rights to getting served straight away.
(c)That staff will make a mistake with who should be served next.
HOWEVER I dont think that when it is steady that you should wait 15 minutes to be served while one of the managers/owners holds court with his mates on a self appreciation commitee Im not a complete berk I appreciate that sometimes you have to wait to be servred but not in these situations! this place has got to sort out problems like this or they dont stand a hope in hell of competing with the bars on the high street.
7 Apr 2006 21:43
Nice old fashioned little pub which hasnt aqquired the pretence of alot of the pubs in the fulham/chelsea area!
On the comment of a saturday you will find that the chelsea scumbags the comment below describes are more likely to use the shed bar, just in case you are worried about bumping into these awful working class people!
The last comment is sarcasm.
7 Apr 2006 15:17
Cracking little pub friendly staff nice relaxed feel to it the best pub in clapham old town by a mile.
6 Apr 2006 10:08
Not a bad old fashioned boozer its worth having a couple of beers once in a while.
6 Apr 2006 10:05
The Frog and Forget-Me-Not, Clapham
Not a bad pub relaxed atmosphere good for a saturday afternoon beer only problem is the idiots you sometimes have to stomach
6 Apr 2006 10:02
The Clapham North, Clapham North
I have mixed feelings about this place they bend over backwards to help you with getting a table reserved for a friday night and I think the idea of buying a bottle of vodka or gin etc is differnt (sorry im from kent originally we dont have clever ideas like that where im from)and the food is very good for a pub but I always feel the staff let down the place slightly not a bad watering hole.
6 Apr 2006 09:58
Not a fan! the sevice poor, product range below average! I couldnt help but have a feeling that was familiar then my girlfriend pointed out to me that it is a sister pub of the railway and the sun then I realised.
6 Apr 2006 09:51
Came here for the first time yesterday very impressed good beers nice relaxed atmosphere to the place one of the best pubs in the area
6 Apr 2006 09:37
Went in here today for the first time had to repeat my order!It seemed a real problem that i wanted a drink god forbid that! I was told recently how improved this bar is,I really dread to think how bad it was before!! Think ill stick to clapham from now on.
4 Apr 2006 19:36
Very rightly said below the staff are friendly but the one thing Ive noticed is the Oak Tree seems to be a haven for people barred from the slug and even the sennockian,apart from that it is quite a nice pub.
3 Apr 2006 10:56
I think this is the best pub in the fitzrovia area by a mile great for a beer day or night im a big fan
3 Apr 2006 10:39
The Devonshire Arms, Piccadilly
A okay pub service is slow even when quiet lots of tourists as said in the comment below.
3 Apr 2006 10:28
The Bell And Compass, Charing Cross
Its okay as a pub usual brands behind the bar the staff are very friendly and I know thats not the most important thing but it does bring people back
3 Apr 2006 10:25
The Polar Bear, Leicester Square
Went here for the first time last week pleasant atmosphere the girl behind the bar was friendly not the best pub ive had a beer in this area but Ill definitely be back
3 Apr 2006 10:19
Food for a chain is okay but once you've been to one you've been to them all
3 Apr 2006 09:55
The Rose and Crown, Tunbridge Wells
Leave Grubby alone he hasnt harmed you but yeah pretty cr*p as pubs go
1 Apr 2006 15:36
The Opera House, Tunbridge Wells
The usual cr*p, full of winos desperate for a beer at 10am will serve absolutely anyone just like most wetherspoons a complete toilet
1 Apr 2006 15:32
Not a bad bar but wha t is the decor all about weird!
staff are friendly but its only a quick beer place for me and no more
31 Mar 2006 15:18
One of the places to avoid in Clapham if you're not 18-21 after sheer cheese and wearing what your trophy girlfriend has told you to wear walk away grown ups with real lifes
31 Mar 2006 15:10
Worked here in the late nineties one the few work places i would drink in came here recently for the first time in 6years what the f*ck have they done???
it was fine as it was what a disaster!!!!
31 Mar 2006 15:00
met a couple of mates in there a few months back as it is their local although slightly expensive had a good afternoons drinking in there watching the rugby nice pub
31 Mar 2006 14:56
Apologies for my ignorance about Sam Smith pubs Im humbled Im not a mainsteam fan aka fosters stella but Im just not a fan of their beer
31 Mar 2006 14:31
The Princess of Wales, Charing Cross
not a bad pub always busy make sure you get a seat because you will get bumped into alot if standing
31 Mar 2006 14:23
Champagne Charlie's, Charing Cross
Fine if you want a glass of wine or you are taking out a girl way above your usual standard for a quick drink before dinner but the staff are really arrogant in here
31 Mar 2006 14:20
Boadicea, Charing Cross Station
Exactly what you expect for a small pub in a station if you really need a drink theres plenty of bars and pubs a minute away
31 Mar 2006 14:16
Cant see the appeal of this pub cr*p atmosphere and these awful sam smith brands
31 Mar 2006 14:11
used to be a cracking pub at one point was probably the best pub in tunbridge wells has really gone down hill
30 Mar 2006 15:51
The Beacon Hotel, Langton Green
Totally agree with the comment below has become a victim of its own success
30 Mar 2006 15:49
Quite nice pub but this pub lets anyone in here hence some unsavoury characters puts you off drinking in there to be honest
30 Mar 2006 15:45
Very clicky the few times ive been in here ate once kicked myself for doing so
30 Mar 2006 15:41
This is without doubt one of the most pretenious overpriced overrated places in the area much better pubs in the old town let alone clapham.
30 Mar 2006 15:24
Most improved pub in clapham when i first started drinking in this pub about 18months ago it was frankly cr*p but decided to give it another chance just after chrimbo and have been a big fan ever since now one of the best pubs in clapham.
30 Mar 2006 15:15
Good bar but you find this place by mistake its so well hidden friendly staff not too expensive like some bars in clapham and sells zubrowka so it gets my vote.
30 Mar 2006 15:11
This place has mostly managed to keep a unpretenious feel to it great selection behind the bar great for a saturday afternoon session
30 Mar 2006 15:06
Ive been drinking in clapham for just over 19 months and ive been here once! why? because even the mediocre pubs are much better than this place!
30 Mar 2006 14:57
love the food good range of beers but i dont know which planet the staff are on sometimes
30 Mar 2006 14:52
Not a bad bar if you can get over the staff thinking their gods gift good range of bottled beers
29 Mar 2006 13:44
Callaghan's Irish Bar, Piccadilly
Im not really a fan of plastic paddy pubs but this i have to say isnt a bad place to have a few beers one of the more reasonably priced places as well
29 Mar 2006 13:42
went there for the first time in 13 years still just as impressed nice one
29 Mar 2006 13:38
The Jack Horner, Tottenham Court Road
Nice pub Im slowly beggining to become a fan of Fullers pubs and this one is a good advert for them
29 Mar 2006 12:51
The Rising Sun, Tottenham Court Road
not a bad pub better than the fitzroy tavern not that is difficult

really odd place selling brands that no one has heard from im not against something different but this pub and the fitzroy tavern that correct me if im wrong is the same company are trying to be too different im not a fan

The Ku Bar, Charing Cross Road
went here last saturday thought it was pretenious and frankly i wont be bothered if i dont go there again
29 Mar 2006 12:39
The Garrick Arms, Trafalgar Square
quite a nice pub but without trying to sound like a miserable git its one these pubs that is better mid afternoon when its quiet
29 Mar 2006 12:35
The Porcupine, Leicester Square
strange place to be honest staff look suicidal most of the time puts you off going in there
29 Mar 2006 12:33
The Hogshead, Leicester Square
one of the most pointless places in london its a cr*p brand as it is but this one takes some beating.

one of several plastic paddy pubs if i want to go to a irish bar ill go to ireland, but if i do stomach one, callaghans is the best out of a bad bunch.
29 Mar 2006 12:26
without doubt one the best pubs in london! staff always friendly no pretence whatsoever and good selection of products im totally about this place
29 Mar 2006 12:23
was much better when the previous managers had it at least they stopped the trouble makers coming in the present lot are afraid of their own shadow
28 Mar 2006 11:52
typical wetherspoons annally run was much better when arran was there
28 Mar 2006 11:49
The Rose and Crown, Tunbridge Wells
typical old fashioned boozer where a tumbleweed roles past if anyone has the audacity to try it for the first time nice to see the refusal to serve drunk people is in place (not).

Not a bad bar considering where it is very good selection of wines and spirits and has followed the trends of the other bars and pubs in clapham but the staff seem to be at a funeral sometimes still its 10 times better than the railway

Ive just discovered the bobbin after the recommendation from a mate of mine nice selection of beers and spirits im afraid im one these awful people who thinks aussie beers are the elixer of life proper ones i mean! however what is it with the staff? went in there for a beer recently and the fact i wanted to be served went down as well as thierry henry joining spurs apart from that nice little pub.
28 Mar 2006 11:27
if you are after a good old fashioned spit and sawdust pub then this is worth a pint i come here when i get p***** off with the pretty people and the city boys in the old town dont knock it until you've tried it
28 Mar 2006 11:19
agree with the below comment dont go there of the evening its not bad for a saturday lunchtime beer food is good.
staff seem to think they're too cool to be friendly though but still worth a look.
28 Mar 2006 11:14
went here for the first time last night nice to see minimal city boys frequenting fairly good range barmaid needs to be a bit friendlier though
28 Mar 2006 11:08
pretenious with a capital p bad service with a capital b theres a few bad pubs in clapham this is in the top 3
28 Mar 2006 11:03
i started going in here when i moved to clapham 18 months ago and very soon stopped because of the awful attitude of the staff i went in there again recently to give it another chance and after one drink kicked myself for being stupid enough to give this place a second chance
28 Mar 2006 10:47
I eat here quite a bit and to be honest have never had a problem paying the service charge as it has been very good
28 Mar 2006 10:40
The Nevill Crest and Gun, Eridge Green
Not a great pub to be honest
Is a little unfriendly beer not too good
Is a Brunning & Price pub its sister pub the Hare is superior.
