The Central Bar, Shepherds Bush

After working as a bar critic for a period of time I can honnestly say that this pub has one of the most unfriendly atmospheres I have ever come into contact with. There is no music, the stench of stale beer is over whelming and the decor should have been left in the 60s.

The main bar staff are polite enough however, the bar managers could do with a course in amiable etiquette. The management are dismissive and appear grumpy. Whilst I was there recently I saw a manager be very rude to a young lady who was clearly humiliated by his actions.

On the upside, the beer is cheap and the pub is ideally situated for Westfield shoppers. Yep, that's where the compliments stop.
