The Hole In The Wall, Chiswick

Nice enough pub, good service and food. Lacks a certain something to make it a buzzing pub.

Grove Park, Chiswick

Sitting outside on a sunny day is pleasant enough. This should be a great pub, but it's grim and has gotten a lot grimmer of late. This is what's wrong with it:

1) Everything is brown on brown on brown
2) The lighting is so murky and dim, it makes it even browner
3) No seats at the bar
4) No atmosphere
5) Miserable landlady
6) No real fun
7) Over priced drinks
8) Bad use of space - it's a hulk of a lounge

To make it better they need to address all the above and really move everything around - those low level sofas should be moved to the dining area. Cabaret nights and cocktail tables would be a better use of the main bar.

The Copper Cow, Chiswick

Not a bad little bar all said and done. Just a shame they don't:

1) Ever change the menu
2) Have proper heaters outside
3) Serve Margaritas at full strength
4) Fix the benches before they fall apart

Barmaids perking up of late though.
