This was one of the best pubs back in 1986/7 when i worked up the road from it. My recent visit to the street found it closed. I hope it will open its doors again and soon

I went to visit the pub but found it closed, anyone know when it will open? I spent a lot of time in this pub back in the early 1970's when working around the corner at Thomas Cook, actually met my first wife when she was working there! Not a bad place but many changes since then, not all good.

Apparently this pub has been bought by Sir Alan Sugar who will be changing its use. "Apparently" mind...
|
Appears to be closed now with the inside partially stripped (no furniture), with no sign of whether it is being refurbished or just becoming an ex-pub.

Think the review that mentions that it's an unexceptional pub sums it up perfectly. Popped in a wander of pubs but wouldn't be returning to again.

An unexceptional pub. My pint of Adnam's was so-so (with rather more of a head than I'm used to getting on that particular beer), and the manager left a clearly-still-learning-the-ropes barmaid on her own for far too long on a Friday evening, so that barside was crowded with punters gasping for a drink while the rest of the pub was fairly empty. Fortunately for all, entertainment was provided by a group of drunken lads, one of whom was loudly talking about beating up another for spilling beer on him.
Overall, not a terrible place, but I agree with the previous comment--it just doesn't feel like a pub you'd want to spend more than a half-hour or so in.

Something about this pub doesn't quite add up. It's a decent pub to look at, the service is fine, the food is ok, it's clean. I just don't like it, but I can't put a finger on why. I think it may be because it is a bit of a transient pub; where people meet before going on somewhere more interesting. It may just be me.

not too bad. if you have to drink on this street it is better than Shelleys. V nice London Pride

Fairly standardish, gets busy with after work crowd but it's the best 'pub' in the area if it's a pub you're after (rather than a poncey bar)
|
This used to be a shabby but comfortable pub. The last couple of times I visited I was assulted with extremely loud music and equally loud patrons. I would love to know if it has improved. Unfortunately I will be unable to visit it for a year or so to check for myself.
