Before this pub decided to turn metal, it was alright for a few beers and a chat. Now you have to shout to be heard by someone directly infront of you. Shame

This pub is shit if you are not a chav. Ok to visit in the summer if you sit outside minding your own business, but you'd be better off at Big Red down the road

Do not come here unless you are aged over 60, an alcoholic and an irish man

Discovering this pub is like discovering a diamond in a mile's worth of dog turd! Although the location is not particularly desirable, it doesn't matter because you will probably end up staying the whole night in Big Red anyway (the late openings help). The pub is dark but not moody (although I get the feeling it would like to be), the bar is always well staffed and the atmosphere in the evenings is always good. Had a fantastic new years here (tickets were free as long as you donate a present for a children's charity per person). recommended

if you want a quiet, pretty empty, atmosphere-free pub where you can hear yourselves speak then come to the Old Diary. It's perfect for a serious, relationship making (or braking) chat with your boyfriend/girlfriend as long as you don't mind paying over the odds for a drink.

I really like this pub for its layout, the beer garden is great (if you can find a seat), had some really good nights here.
The only problem is over-crowding - unless you get there before 6 any day of the week, you will not get a decent seat and will probably end up perched on the end of some group's bench in the sin bin, which is not great.
A great pub if you get there early afternoon, have a few games of pool and then grab yourself a table out the back and order some nice thai food, taking turns to go down to the bar and get jugs of pimms for the rest of the evening!

Ok. so I don't expect much from a 'Spoons, but to be refused food (I was not ordering alcohol by the way) at 11am on a Sunday morning because I supposedly look under 25 (I am actually 26), while all my friends got served (just food that is) was humilating and just plain stupid. The barmaid was happy to serve me a bottle of mineral water though - whats the difference? The other barmaid was miserable as sin so I didn't even bother in the end. A crap, atmosphere-free pub that I wouldn't normally choose to go to anyway.

The Assembly House, Kentish Town
if you are inspired by music, arts and culture, don't come here. If you are looking to neck as many shots of sambucca as you can with your over-weight, fake-tanned, boob-tube wearing mates, go for it
