The Hop Poles, Hammersmith

A few of us decided to go in for a quick drink (since looked quieter than the other ones around) to decide on a venue for the evening but instead we decided to stay on as it was extremely pleasant. We eventually moved upstairs to the patio area (which now has an extra large heater!). The music was tasteful and not too loud either unlike most pubs these days and found the whole experience quite calm and pleasant, ideal for anyone my age (thirties!).

The photo on this site could not be a recent one as we found out that they did not show any sport on TV not even Andy Murray playing tennis! I would definitely go in there again for a few more Peronis and just having a nice time with friends without being pushed around by kids and louts. Surprised at the current rating, a perfect 10 for me.
