It's now re-opened as the Kings Cross Social Club. Looking great, nice cocktails, a very useful addition in that area. At the moment they're doing meat or veg platters, not sure if there will be a full kitchen. Definitely worth a try...

Everything securely boarded up and no indication of it re-opening.

All dark and empty now. Looks closed for good.

I wasn�t really expecting anything just because it happens to be a gay bar, and that�s not how I judge pubs even when I notice it. As I said I went in because it�s a pub I remembered from many years ago. If I were to comment on the gay thing I�d say that it is quite obviously gay (even without many customers) but they seemed not to be to precious about the tag and I imagine they are welcoming to all.

And to be fair it is a gay bar love.....wot were you expecting??????

I was doing a few pubs in the area and sought this one out as I remembered a pub of the same name from the 80�s when I worked nearby for a couple of weeks. From the location I�m sure it�s the same one but it�s no longer a proper pub, more a pub trying to be a bar as so many do these days. Jennings Cumberland Ale was the cask offering on my visit. I went late afternoon and there were more staff than customers, no doubt they were waiting for the evening trade.

Just now has Deuchars IPA on with others coming soon. A bit tatty from the outside but inside is fine. As said, it is a gay pub but not threateningly so - there were women in there also and it is a pleasant place to be.

Found this pub to be ok, buying a pint on the handpumps appears to prove cheaper overall than buying a bottled beer, Just the Adnams Broadside real ale on. Take note its in fact a gay pub, but they won't judge you on your sexuality
|
A mate of mine recommended this and said they had Bombardier, Hobgoblin and Adnams on with Timothy Taylor "coming soon".
I haven't been yet but will do at some point and will give a review when I have.

Used to hate this pub, but it has improved immensely in the last six months. Good beers, nice staff, plenty of room. Only annoying thing is those quiz nights they sometimes have. Good place to start the evening off.

Good food, a wide selection of beers including flavoured beers, nice staff, sofas and the like, and some decent music. A good pub in a not so nice area, now doing feed themed nights (Italian food and a Nastro - a fiver... curry and a Tiger - a fiver). Well worth a visit.
