This is a very basic place that needs new management so that some care can be administered to bring it back from the brink. The barmaid was nice enough and my Guinness was fantastic rocking in at �2.50 a pint. All of the elements are there for a good pub, including a dartboard and a pool table, but alas it has just been neglected for too long.
I will walk past next time I'm in this neck of the woods.

Awful. The worst pub in Edmonton, it seems. An unfortunate award indeed. Bare, harsh place with an atmosphere you could cut with a knife.

From the outside, this looked like one of the better pubs in the area but appearances can be deceptive. The O�Connells Ales moniker on the windows had me thinking there might just be something in here worth drinking but, sadly, just the usual old common keg varieties were on offer. The interior is divided into 2 rather bare and uninviting bars, although the enlarged doorway between them is so open that the music from the TV in one bar seemed to be competing with the jukebox in the other to make an unbearable cacophony of sound that eventually drove us out after 1 pint. The general feeling is that it is a very run down with cracked windows including one that had what looked rather alarmingly like a bullet hole through it. The blinds are nasty and the general d�cor appears cheap, dated and unimaginative with promotional poster randomly placed wherever there is a space. Even the bunting for the upcoming St Patrick�s Day looked rather underwhelming and did nothing to brighten the place up. It is a shame because with a bit of care, attention and imagination, I get the impression that there is potential here. On the plus side, the service was friendly and efficient, the prices fairly cheap and it was not particularly busy even though Spurs were at home that night. Perhaps the Ragged Fleece would be a more apt name.

Nice building and reasonable atmosphere if a little ramshackle. Beer range isn't great or of particularly high quality but the prices are fairly cheap. Lots of screens for showing football and the background music is unusual and not half bad. Alright for a quick drop in, but not a destination pub. There are worse pubs in the vicinity but a short walk up the road to the Crown & Anchor is a much better bet.
