Agree with previous posters - nice pub, good music (that's not so loud you can have a conversation with more than one person at a time), the pizzas on offer are nice & there's a projector on the ceiling that's used for big sporting events (ie Arsenal around these parts). Have asked to see the cricket here in the past which they happily sorted out for us even though it looked like a right faff. Also nice to get a pint in the ol' jar. Worth a visit.

I agree with superyoungisland (Mar 2007). My experience is that the staff are pretty good but you can't describe this place as a pub, it opens for breakfast. I could pretty much guarantee whenever you go in here someone's eating a proper meal of some kind - that doesn't happen in pubs & bars (remember what your Mum said: crisps aren't a proper meal).

I've been here a lot, it's around the corner from work. During the day (lunchtime & early evening) it's not too busy and is nice enough, but then later on, as other reviewers have noted, it turns into a magnet for fools with bouncers, handstamps & all that. I'm highly dubious at the claim that they serve real ale here, unless it's bottled in a box in the basement. Guinness doesn't count. You can get beer on tap here but this pub's not going to sneak into any CAMRA guides any time soon. Food's not bad though.

The Living Room is dead. Long live whatever bar comes in it's place! This place has the builders in at the moment.

Now a flash cocktail bar unimaginatively named 69 Colebrooke Row. If you like cocktails and have loads of cash you'll probably like it. If you prefer real ale (or any draught pints really), you need to give this place a wide berth.

This pub closed a long time ago. It's now a Brazilian restaurant.

Doesn't have Sky. The TV's were advertising mulled wine on a Sunday afternoon when I was trying to find the football - looked nice enough though.
