This pub is now closed. I don't know if this a temporary thing, but local gossip tells me that the baliffs have been a knocking...

I love this sparse-looking pub and I love their friendly and professional staff (especially Asta!). A good mix of people in a low key atmosphere which is a welcome change to this area.
The pool table is now downstairs and is a bit squashed in for my big elbows!
|
Not sure when it happened but the pub has now reopened. The clientele are resolutely working class but that's not a bad thing given the relentless gentrification of the area.

Good news - this is reopening as a pub. Sign outside says it has been let as "public house" and an application for a license has been posted outside. Builders also seemed to be hovering around.
Lets hope its not aimed at the soul destroyers. There are enough places around Smithfield Market for them.

It has closed down. A shame and doesn't look as though it will ever open, like a few other pubs in the area. Obviously people prefer to ply their uneducated palates with awful lager at places like Fluid and the Charterhouse.

A big sign outside says "New Lease available for Public House/Wine Bar/Restaurant".
This one is dead and ain't coming back I would guess. God knows what it will reopen as. I shudder to think. Another place selling "japanese" lunches??

This is a very nice and cosy pub where you're able to talk to your mates. Nothing flashy and no loud music or any of that sort

i work for charles wells brewery as a technical services engineer
and have just finished refitting
all the celler and pipe work to the bars and can say it is now safe to drink here as the old equipment was a bit tired not fitted by us i might add we also gave the new landlady instructions on how to keep here real ales and general cleaning of lines whitch i might say most pubs these days seem to lack

How nice in these days of chain pubs and soulless corporations to find a pub where the barman is a human being and listens to his customers. Faced with the choice of 2 real ales - Landlord which is well known & loved and a complete unknown called Eagle IPA - I asked for his recommendations. He kindly and unprompted offered me a free sample of each which was just as well as the IPA was foul.
Certainly worth popping into if you're in the area. 8/10.
