Durin my recent day out in N22 i visited most of the pubsin the area
This particular pub was a strange mixture.
barstaff were friendly enough.
Draught beer was so so. Lager was passable, but Guiness disappointing.
Decor was bland but fresh and clean apart from
Male toilets were unclean, and an unhealty queue for the cubicle. To many customers keen to powder the nose i think
All in all not a pub i will return to

No real ale, has Sky and GAA

Recently refurbished (although some works are still going on) and due for a reopening in two weeks. Dandered in on a sunday evening expecting a terrible place based on the reviews below. Found a bright, airy, bar with old thyme music playing, people jiving the night away and a fine pint of Guinness. Was a bit like being in Ireland. Sure what's not to like about that?! Almost enough to make a man want to move to Wood Green! I particularly like the toilet door witht he handle on the srong side - genius!

This is one of the worst "pubs" on the planet. Dull. Ignorant. Smelly. Unfriendly.

I had good fun there but you would have to be well on it just to enter because its a bit rough and ready lol and thats a fact as for ladies! I would agree with both of the to lads that posted a comment before me there are no ladies in this bar @ least what I would consider Ladies but the girls that were there would be of Irish descent. sorry girls; yous were all good fun but not taken home to mammy kinda material other than that worth a visit just to see how some people carry on lol including myself it was a bit contagious . friendly enough gang and girls there is someone for everyone lol

Despite the young Ladies accents,check their passports, knowing monaghans i bet they will say citizen of ROI
Just a thought ;o)
|
to nick the fish ! be it English Irish or any other race its ladies I was interested in not drunk, drugged up foul mouth trash with morals of alley cats and thats all there was in this pub and thank god none of which were Irish.
|
conner.henery if it is Irish girls and irish this and that you want may i suggest you go and live in ireland ? This is England and English girls are actually allowed to drink in England.
|
Standard lager and Guinness are available from a slightly threatening �F this and F that� Barmaid. Holby City was being shown on the screens and the pool table was out of use.
I ordered a half, knocked it back and left, never to darken their door again.

Walked in here yesterday only had One Pint of Guinness then left and went down to the Sprigfield. Seems to be too clicky with own little crowed. You get the feeling they don't want to welcome new customers.
|
Horrible place. If you're English forget it. Wouldn't go there again if all the beer was free.
|
just had to pop in!after the previuos reviews. On the contary to peoples experiences, I found the ambience very welcoming and felt at home immediately. Sraff were efficient and friendly. No waiting for drinks. I thoroughly enjoyed as the irsih would say a good nights CRAIC!!!!!!
Recommended to all!!
Plus right beside the bus and tube great for staggering home!!!!

It was a successful thriving pub when it was the Jolly Butchers. I'm Irish and went in here a while ago (just because we were passing and decided to try it out). There were 2 women there - both drunk and acting like trailer trash. I ordered 2 pints and one of the women said "I don't know where she's gone but I'll serve ya"! There were no other customers. A man joined them shortly after and they sat staring at us - so we drank up and left never to return. It's unbelievably awful and an embarrassment to the Irish!

Went in here last bank holiday monday, and i don't feel in a rush to return. The pub its self is in light (coloured) wood. No real character, apart from a few locals. It's irish, very irish! What was it like when it was Jolly butchers?
|
Awful! As was said earlier, they show no interest in serving you unless you either speak with an Irish accent or they know your irish.shut the place down and reopen it with its old name (and real) "the jolly Butchers"
|
Grim. Don't bother going in unless you are a friend of a regular unless you enjoy shifty looks and slow service. Beer isn't up to much, prices don't reflect this. Very, very Irish pub in so much as that if you aren't Irish(which incidentally I'm not) you will stick out like a sore thumb, but sadly the legendary and generally true irish hospitality is lacking. Cramped and uncomfortable. Go somewhere else.
|
not sure what to say I dont know why we went in this place - not a place I would be back in a hurry to. Far nicer places to go
|
Awful music, no atmosphere. Prices change depending on who goes up to the bar. I was charged 50p more for a shot than my mate was.
