please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Gone bust (feel mildly guilty re my comment below).

Soon to be a Carluccio's - can't imagine anyone being too upset by this.

Seems to be really suffering due to the popularity of the 'new' Halfway House, so fingers crossed it goes bust and becomes a restaurant again.

Echo comments re outside seating in a bus stop, ha ha

Possibly the worst 'pub' in Earlsfield, which is some accolade. Totally lacking in any soul or character.
Introduced an hilarious outside seating area which is basically in a bus stop.

Headed down on a Sunday to fill a burger craving and check out the lunch menu. First impression is not great, there is something about the decor here that is just not quite right. In my view, it's tired and a little tacky. We were also frustrated to find the beers completely overpriced and unfortunately they don't serve Magners.

The menu was lacking in interesting choices, burgers were the obvious chioce. We ordered a selection of burgers to the table, each was really ordinary and ultimately disappointing.(Overcooked burgers, untoasted buns) It really would not take much to get these right. In my view this place just hasn't got it and I won't be returning in a hurry.

Has really come on leaps and bounds in the last six months or so since the new manager paulo took charge. Good for a quiet drink during the week or a bit more of a lively one on a Friday or a Saturday night. Recommended

Excessive prices for drinks. Shame really as I found it to be a pleasant place for a drink and a chat with mates.

in the same street than the Puzzle but a different kind of bar : more trendy :)) Girls should like it to spread any gossip seated on leather bench. Boys should : when it time to have a good burger with their drinks. The staff is also friendly so it 's great to come here. Greg

This place feels like the end of the world is nigh... Truely awful - if you like drinking tasteless flat lager in an environment devoid of civility then come here before you go to the Puzzle and you'll fit right on in. God help you.

Great bar and as has already been said, a nice change for Earlsfield. Fits smartly between the madness of the Puzzle and the blandness of the Open Page/Bar 366. Staff and management are always friendly; decent food and prices. Music selection could do with a bit of a tweak but i guess that's the atmosphere they're looking to stick with.
'All Bar One' comment below provided by a MrLash - hmmm. Name says is it all eh.

It aspires to being an All Bar One.

It really is that bad.

Very good after-work type of place to go drink.

As the previous poster said, "nice chilled out atmosphere".

You can hear yourself speak, it's not very smokey, the bathrooms are very clean, and the service is probably the best I've experienced in London.

It's a very spacious and light bar, that thus far doesn't get overly busy or overly boisterous. For what it is, an excellent bar and long overdue type of place for Earlsfield.
