Goose and Granite, Kilburnback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
I've got to correct my comment of nearly 3 years ago. This pub has worked its charms on me, despite having little to no charm at all. It's huge, can always get a seat, the beers and shots are absolutely absurdly cheap (pint of Brains smooth for less than 2 quid), Sky telly for those that fancy the cricket or snooker or whatever, and most remarkable of all it has one of those juke boxes with a big hard disk in it, so I can find some obscure old indie music like Daisy Chainsaw to play on it.
Good place to tank up before heading to the Good Ship or Luminarie for a gig or club. Still has the atmosphere of an airport lounge though.

It was only the other week that I was up in the Goose and Granite and there was this chap well in his cups going round the bar shaking hands with all and sundry. Not having been told off for his little journey round the tables his confidence grew and he gave quite a reasonable rendition of an old Irish ballad and even had some of the patrons joining in.
He declared that he was an Irish traveller and proud of his stock and flashed his gold rings as he waved time to his own singing. A Kilburn clientele would never complain - he was one of their own just blowing off a bit of steam and having a rush of sentiment for the old days.
Its that sort of pub.

Spacious and comfortable, and you can buy beer. But it has no atmosphere whatever. A completely pointless experience.

Ha, an airport lounge. Great description. It's relatively busy irrespective of the time of day, but for no discernable reason beyond being full of people spending their dole money.

Oh dear. Like drinking in an airport lounge. Haven't been in there for a few years but walk past now and then and it looks soulless.
