The Sun Inn, Barnes

I used to work at this pub back in 1997 and remember a time when the patrons were also your friends. Peter Bull was the governor and kept his employees in line. Being a Yank, I got the usual wind up, but after a while the locals got used to me. There were some lousy times too, but most of my memories there were of retired musicians and the working locals who came in not only for a pint, but for the camaraderie. We were like a giant family! I visited this site to see how this place was doing after ten years and it sounds rather horrifying. I was considering coming back to revisit the place but nearly every review about the Sun Inn seems to make me want to see the pond and walk right past.
