Mmmm.
Best bit. Bizarre place which I find quite entertaining (my friends didn't).
Worst bit. I've been in 3 times in the last year and everytime the place was stunk out by their toilets (didn't try the food).
Last visit - music night advertised and I was in the mood to see a good bit of fiddlin'. Went in and 'Stand by your Man' was coming out of the speakers - my English friends thought this hilarious. So don't go if you're expecting traditional (live or Irish) music. All the punters were English.
Great lady running the place, with fine Guinness. Someone had usurped the pool table and she threw them off saying 'ah! be decent! That's an hour now they've been waiting'.
Nice dog still zooming about.
It's better than that GJ's just beside it but I'd probably head for The Old Sergeant before here (unless I was feeling a bit odd). Will watch a GAA match here and see how it goes.

Nice Irish pub with as the Original Rawnsley's rightly says a very friendly dog.
The Guinness is very good and the service is friendly. What's not to like?
More character than a lot of the local Youngs' line-up. And better than a lot of the dead-eyed dying hostelries that pepper south london

Only popped in on a flying visit on a quieter Sat afternoon when the weather was a bit biting but you can see it is a decent little hostelry
Bar staff go out their job happily and stands out as a unique oasis in the Youngs mounted pubs in the area
If you cant smile at the friendly reception of the pub dog that wants you to play 'ball' then nothing will cheer up your mood

Great pub, this. Rough round the edges, lovely staff and a good pint poured. Plus a comedy pool table in the back. A pub to spend a whole night in.
|
This is as close to a real Irish pub as you will get in England.
Great place.
|
Higly recommended. A quiet, friendly place with GAA on the big screen, if you like that sort of thing. Good stout, good craic. And as likely to have IRA supporters as BNP supporters. Which is very unlikely, indeed.

I only go here to watch Irish football matches but get increasingly annoyed by something every time I go. Usually its the crap service but last time I went to watch Ireland play Cyprus they surpassed themselves. For some reason they were showing some Saffa rugby match and the place was full of saffas. Isn't this meant to be an Irish pub? I don't blame the Saffas but what are the staff up to here? Ended up missing the first 20 minutes. Turns out they probably did me a favour as we got kebabbed 5-2.

What a find this pub is.Had a fantastic St Patricks day here.The decor is superb,the food looked fantastic,the Guinness tasted great and the music.....out of this world! Will come back again and again.Would highly recommend this pub to anyone.Thanks to all,for a great day.

Appearances can be deceptive, it may look like an O'Neills nightmare but is actually quite a decent family run venture. Personally I avoid any nights when theres live music, but don't let that deter you.
|
Really friendly quiet Irish pub, run by a nice Irish family.
Good beer, they know how to poor a pint of Guinness!! Very quiet, but that can be nice for catching up with friends.
|
Visited here for the first time last night, and had a great night. Not a poncy wine bar nor a place to pick up, but a great pub with nice people, and the music from Foxy and friends was lovely. Definitely a place for a quiet night getting a few drinks in with your mates, and having a catchup. I'll be back again for sure

This family run Irish pub is one of the most hospitible and unpretentious boozers around. Nothing else in Wandsworth town comes close.
Come in on a Saturday night for a great evening of traditional Irish music courtesy of Foxy and Friends.

Would highly reccomend

Decent family run pub. The clientelle are a bit eccentric but the atmostphere is not at all threatening, so I think "TheWizard"s comment is a little out of line. Basically if you want to know what a pub in the west of ireland is like, this is a good bet. Also you will get to hear that sweet mangled thing that is a london irish accent.
|
Weird Pub this one, its seems to be a hangout for the Village Idiot Brigade or the local Chav scum Brigade.
Very gloomy aswell.
|
The most splendid bar this side of the Irish Sea !!!
Good one and keep up the great vibe !
|
great traditional irish pub would reccomend to all, well worth a visit

Good little boozer. Been in twice, once on St. Pat's day and was impressed both times. Good beer, friendly staff and the inside definatly needs to be seen! Recommended.

Full of IRA supporters

Excellent Irish Pub. A GENUINE Irish Bar, not a theme pub. The inside needs to be seen to believed. Saturday evenings drinking great Guiness, sat by a roaring fire listening to live Irish music, heaven. Vastly superior to the rather tacky GJs next door.
