| Another pub that's gone through the gentrification process, resulting in more expensive drinks and food presented on driftwood. When I was there they had a terrible 'jazz' band playing gash music for a room full of rah-rah toffs. Shut up. I'm aware that the the pub's former incarnation was a dump, but this refit attracts yummy mummies and their boring city worker husbands. Increasingly, there's no place for well-read, articulate (and modest) members of the working class to drink. Why modernise a pub like this? Keep all the idiots contained in their own pub where they can only offend each other. The chavs that used to frequent such places now have nowhere to go so look elsewhere, meaning that the next (nearest) 'proper' pub becomes their new local meaning the existing regulars at that pub are forced, in turn, to find somewhere else. And so it goes on. The yuppies and the chavs have somewhere to drink at the cost of your average boozer. Bah. They shoot horses, don't they? ClareBaldingsChin - 20 Jan 2016 14:45 |
| Gloomy and horrible, looks like they are trying to create a distressed feel to the place like 'Islington chic' old books and rubbish furnishings but seems like that is what it is and the punters were scary unless that is part of the set up also. Expensive beer also. Danny1955 - 2 Apr 2014 02:05 |
| So finally ventured back in here for a quick pint yesterday evening and I have to say the new people are making an effort. There were only 5 or 6 other customers in there but maybe that's not so surprising on a random Wednesday in February. Had an excellent pint of Deuchars at £3.00 a pint which isn't bad although I understand those kind of prices only apply Tues-Thurs, and it's much more expensive on weekends. They're trying to create a different atmosphere in there than previously, soft lighting, settees etc and it does seem the days of drug-fueled thuggery may be over. The barman told me they will be closing again for a few days in April for another refurb and are hoping to start a full food service very soon. Overall quite a pleasant experience, we will see how it develops.. dodgeydave - 6 Feb 2014 07:54 |
| Visited on Saturday, all beers £3 per pint Had 3 ELB beers, 1 Sambrooks and the ubiquitous Doombar Overheard the landlord talking to a young couple with a babyin a pram - he's aiming for the "family feel" with the refurb that's to com, and looking to possibly start up coffee mornings for mothers and kids at some stage. The food aspect is also high on his list. Should make a nice alternative to the Nightingale trev_e11 - 5 Dec 2013 08:47 |
| Have heard great things about the Duke and it's upcoming plans for 2014. Very excited about this - the building has so much potential and will be great to see it being made the most of. Good luck to the new management. E11pubs - 28 Nov 2013 12:04 |
