This place is now called Changa Bar and it is a late night dance venue. I walked past a few Saturdays ago and decided not to bother going in as it looked like people were being charged and I didn�t think that my barrel belly would fit in with the young crowd. I couldn�t help myself a couple of days later though as it was almost empty and I�m very nosey.
It is a large enough place with the vast majority of space being standing/dancing room. There was loud house music thumping out through the speakers and I could fell my hips moving and memories of my youth flashing before my eyes before I felt a twinge and had to sit down for a swig of Guinness, which was well served. There was not much choice of other draught with only Fosters, Stella, Kronenburg, John Smiths and Strongbow being available.
There are a couple of large plasma screens that were showing some random foreign outtake show that one of the staff seemed to be enjoying. There is also a small kitchenette area next to the entrance that housed a couple of deep fat fryers and a dumb waiter.
My disco days have long gone, but I probably would have been found in here every now and again if it was open a few years ago.

Totally empty last Sunday except for 4 quiz teams and two characters not in the quiz who shouted out the answers to questions and when admonished sloped off mouthing 'c**t'. Nonetheless, they were mildly preferable to the patronising old git who went around dispensing 'wisdom' at the end of the quiz. Quiz machine broken. No atmosphere. A few Sunday papers on the table to read which was about the only saving grace. This pub used to be okay!

A bit scuffy with no service.
And with prices matching the West End it's not very good!
Was full of chavs last time I was there.

This pub would be wonderful if it wasn't for the fact that it appears to be run for the benefit of a few of the bar staffs mates who hang around the bar giving menacing looks to everyone. But other than that it is really nicely furbished and has many comfy sofas and booths to sit in. Plus it also has a pool table and sky, I watched some of Greeces games during Euro 2004, much to the annoyance of the aforementioned bar staffs goons. I tried some of the food and it was ok, not to sure on the range of beers.
