The John Snow, Soho

I've drunk in this pub off & on for number of years, recently the management seems to have changed. I've read about the troubles that the Sam Smith's brewery have been having & as well as putting in place unfriendly policies with regard to having music in the pubs & a very poor attitude to the quality of food, it seems they're at the bottom of the barrel when comes to the people they are able to find to run their pubs. Last Saturday I was on the receiving end of a bizarre tirade from the current manager who appears to be a rude prick. During an afternoon of drinks to celebrate my wife's birthday, in a mixed age & gender group, this ignorant moron felt the need to insult my niece, pulling a bar stool out from under her and demanding we move to the end of the bar. When I questioned his judgement on this he started screaming, became loud, aggressive & threatening. I'm not sure what they tell people when they teach them how to manage pubs these days but this fool was clearly not present that day.
Rounding the bar and shouting for us to leave he casually assaulted me, grabbing my drink & spilling it across my shirt. he was seconds from a good kicking but common sense prevailed on our part.
I used to like this pub but this guy's a worthless prick.
Avoid like the plague.
