The Cock and Woolpack, City Of London
Sweet if you've just finished work and need a beer. The food at lunchtime is great, service at lunchtime great, in the evening decent enough but can take a while to get served. But hey- where's that not the case now??

Well people go on about how tough the music quiz here is- and the press think its the best in London- but I wasn't so impressed- OK the listening rounds are hard, but the rest is easy- as long as you've got google on your phone. I'm sick and tired of iphone tossers ruining the hard brainwork of fair players. I saw one with the cheek to do it right there under the table! Nice pub in general, though- good garden for a cigarette, good beer, and the Rioja aint bad either. Just sort out these loser cheats!

The Charles Dickens, Southwark
This pub is great- and I've always had a great time on the Wednesday Night quiz- but last time I was in, I saw a team looking up the answers on an iphone- what is the point!? I ask you. It's not about the winning, sure, but it's not on- that's what I think, anyway. Is there any way we can stop this kind of cheating? Great pub, as I say, but if there's clientele with that kind of team spirit, I'm voting low.

Good pub- lively but not too lively, old but not too old. Beers expensive but where isn't????? Don't know about this staff thing, I had nothing but a fine time and lovely beer- thanks!!

The Wenlock Arms, Hoxton
Was my kinda place. I'm not a local regular, but I've never had anything but acceptance and a friendly response from those who are- all this talk of trouble and stuff doesn't strike me as true. I'll tell you what, though- I go to the Thursday night quiz occasionally, and it's always been a laugh- but recently (and I've seen this elsewhere) I've seen people cheating on their phones to answer the question.. doesn't that defeat the object? I just want to come down for a couple of drinks and to do the quiz without it being some kind of phone advert. Terrible. But the ale? Delicious.
