Ye White Hart, Barnes

I'd been away from this pub for just over a week even though it's on my way home. It was always over-priced but tonight I had to �3.40 for a Kronenbourg!!! The atmosphere was always quiet but even the teacher's corner was empty. Is Young's on a deliberate campaign to drive away punters? Watch and see - next year you might see some prime Young's real esate going on the market!

I still rate the pub a 6 for the location and the general friendliness of the locals once you are known but now . . .I'm not sure.

The Tapestry, Mortlake

My closest boozer and I really like it. It's not a pub - if you want a pub then pop across the road to the Gardeners - it's a bar so fits perfectly with this site for having a beer in the evening. I love the place. Lucia is a great landlady - not too intrusive unlike that weird barman they have on sometimes.

When I first moved here I had dinner here and it was empty - now you have to struggle to get a table from Wednesday to Saturday - that's a compliment in itself! Excellent!

Ye Old Axe, Shoreditch

Had the luxury (or punishment) of a repeat stag on consectutive weekends! Went to Browns first weekend - apart from the dance with the really cute Venezuelan chick it was rubbish. Second weekend - the Axe! Wow! Great fun pub. Beer is rubbish. Spirits are watered down or made out of petrol but everything else is perfect. Nice low-down dirty strip joint! Perfect!
