"misunderestimates, misunderestimates, MISUNDERESTIMATES"

Can't get my head round that one, bogporn. What are you going on about?Nurse! Nurse!

foghorn's out of his bed again.

And today Matthew, he's being Percy Sledge.I`m appy too foghorn you no upset me man.
By the way met your mate Leg the other day he says hi innit.

Busy boozer in a bit of a beer desert. 3/4 real ales reasonably well kept. More foody than beery though.

(Toilets were OK compared to some we visited this week)Another visit planned for Monday weather permitting I will sit outside again.

Lets hope the toilets are in better shape. First ever visit Saturday and settled for a pint of London Pride and place was packed so sat outside in the cold by the front door..cost 330p a pint and the toilets down a staircase were pretty poor..

This was lunchtime time spent about 20 minutes.

Have visited on a number of occasions now, and am not impressed. Bar staff are generally slow and arrogant, despite clearly knowing very little about the pub trade.

The unsurprisingly named Pig's Ear from the Uley Brewery in Gloucestershire, is sadly nothing more than a rather bland strong bitter that in no way justifies it's hefty price tag. The only other cask option being the uninspiring Deuchars IPA.

My advice is to take a stroll over Battersea Bridge and head directly for the Westbridge instead.Lovely pub, great location, nice posh crowd, and one of the best bloody marys I have ever tasted.

It's just a real shame that the bar staff are rude, arrogant wankers - was planning to eat here on Sunday, but the dismissive and off-hand manner of all the bar staff made me begrudge handing over any more wedge to their coffers. Supped up, and we mooched around the corner to the Cross Keys for a full Sunday Roast there instead. If it was a one-off, then it'd be easier to accept - but I've been here 2 - 3 times before, and it's always been a similar atmosphere. Shame, as it ticks all the other boxes.Pub off the Kings road which is famous because Pink Floyd recorded Arnold Layne in the recording studio accross the road(the house with the head of a cow).

Nothing special beer wise.

Not true melberry. We do - every week in the Builders; money talks, but then you are only a 'working class professional'. Your words!Ps Chelsea local - if u really are chelsea local you will know that u never get into Builders Arms in football kit.What I wonder is the last post about? A quick check shows similar irrelevancies from the same poster.

Good-looking pub in a respectable area. Food is good, in the pricy-for-the-quantity bracket though. Drinks prices are pretty obscene. �4.95 for a pint of Peroni?? It's only lager! The ale is fine - but pint of Young's �3.80; not the way forward for a repeat visit.

Classy Young's pub tucked away off Lots Road, but reflected in its prices.Beer quality good and consistent. Above average looking barmaids.

One of the better pubs to frequent before Chelsi (sic) home gamesDecent enough pub tucked away on the side streets but worth a short detour to check out. Comforting real fire on a wet and windy night and friendly staff.
There's a large front bar with large chunky wooden tables, and a smaller, cosier rear area more geared up for eating. There's board games and books on the shelves for you to use, and a number of pictures adorning the wall, most of them for sale presumably by local artists/photographers. Small TV above the door but this wasn't intrusive.
I agree with some of the other comments about the prices, we paid �6.20 for a pint and a half.
Beers were just Bombadier and Young's bitter. Ciders were Addlestones and Strongbow.

"I could only see two real ales, Pride and Doom Bar, but the first of these was decent enough (and there may have been more round the back).

You've made my day! Bloody hilarious!one of the few traditional gay pubs left in London!
most annoying thing though is the loud italian tourists sitting outside screaming while you try to relax with a pint!
Overall a very good pubQuite a traditional-looking pub which seems slightly out of place in this wealthy area but thankfully it has somehow managed to avoid being revamped as a fancy modern bar. Quite a mixed clientele, from taxi drivers in the front 'snug' to some more exotic types in the rear bar. This is quite spacious, and there also seemed to be another room to the side, meaning than overall the pub is rather larger than it first appears. I could only see two real ales, Pride and Doom Bar, but the first of these was decent enough (and there may have been more round the back).
