First Class Sports Bar, Wembley
Not so much a first class sports bar as a second rate flea pit

Not as cheap as it used to be. Sam Smiths pub with its own unique brands that take a little getting used to.

For a station bar, its pretty ok I think. It was pretty packed before gig at Apollo, but they seemed just able to cope. The lager was fine and reasonably priced for Hammersmith. The food looked good.
Location excellent for the aforementioned Apollo or if going to FFC.
Its not a destination for a night out but its a decent enough meeting spot.

Superficially, the pub looks really well, offers a good range of beer and ales, appears to have a great menu, nice beer garden, screens for football etc, etc..
It ticks many boxes.
But something is not right in here.
The clientèle, again at first glance ,appear decent and respectable, but there's a real undercurrent in her making you feel almost instantly identified and unwelcome as a stranger. Nothing blatantly nasty, but small things like refusing to move to allow access to the bar, being passed over for locals when trying to order, generally feeling that you are being "sussed out".
Its cliquey and too villagey. You sense everyone knows everyone.
A really strange experience.

The Assembly House, Kentish Town
Its ok, sells budweiser budvar, which is a plus. Handy for the forum, the train and the bus. Good place to wait for any/either of these.

Its an O'Neills, so guess what its crowded, noisy and expensive...Its an O'Neills.
28 Feb 2014 16:03
Nothing special, It's ok to spend an hour in..Inoffensive little pub.

Waxy's Little Sister, Piccadilly Circus
Apart from its name/ownership, I can't see what this has got in common with Waxy's proper. Crowded and expensive

The Spice of Life, Cambridge Circus
Decent pre/post thetatre pub.
Couple eating steak alongside us, looked rather delicious.

Small pub, but cosy. Had a quick couple Saturday lunchtime. Not too crowded, quite liked it really.

Good selection of ales, including the Camden Town Brewery offerings.
Excellent "wit" beer.
Very busy, but no problem with service at bar. Quite pricey, but that's Camden for you

a bit dark and dirty, the food looked very good, service with a scowl unfortunately

Now called Doolan's. Run very well and friendly bar staff. Plenty of screens for sport. Pool table and darts available. Occasionally music.
Standard keg beers and lagers , but kept very well.

Its a bit like the Tardis in reverse, much smaller on the inside than on the outside!

The Plough and Harrow, Hammersmith
Walked in, stood at bar, completely ignored, walked out.

The Old Suffolk Punch, Hammersmith
FFC supporter pub. Pretty anonymous and in offensive.
1 Jun 2013 15:55
Handy before a match, but inevitably crowded...BBQ is too expensive. Nice riverside stroll down to the ground,FFC.
1 Jun 2013 15:52
The Garrick Arms, Trafalgar Square
Its quite nice inside, bit less crowded than many pubs in theatreland
1 Jun 2013 15:48
Went before and after The Specials gig, as the Beehive ( wetherspoons) was mobbed.. Beer was reasonably priced and ok. Plenty of space to sit..dance floor to skank around on, good DJ

The Porterhouse, Covent Garden
great pub, but absolutely heaving before the bank holiday weekend

The King William IV, Hampstead
Very lively. A very mixed crowd of patrons. The beer was good and the food looked excellent and reasonably priced. Great atmosphere
22 Mar 2013 15:50
Very expensive, not great bar service, strong focus on expensive food. It has lost a lot of its unique character
22 Mar 2013 15:47
Excellent pre gig boozer,. Good music, ggod choice beers and cider, friendly crowd....Food looked good.
22 Mar 2013 15:45
Expensive, short pint measures.
Very busy with really bevvied upcrowds in mid twenties...Quite intinidating even early in the evening
22 Mar 2013 15:42
Been visitin on and off for 30 yrs...Always consistently good and characterful, although it has possibly got a little on the pricey side
22 Mar 2013 15:32
Metro Bar and Canteen, Holloway
Really basic boozer. absolute p*** take on prices on match days
22 Mar 2013 15:30
Nice big boozer, good choice ales and ciders, ok food. Does the job well before and after the football at Arsenal...however , they tweak the drinks prices up on match days on their standard beers !!
22 Mar 2013 15:28
Ok before gig, Aspalls cider was lovely, service fast....
Bit messy though probably cause it was so busy.
Went back after, but the lager, (Carling)? smelled and tasted of piss !!

The William Morris, Hammersmith
Massive beer warehouse, packed before a gig, but cheap and service was efficient enough
17 Mar 2013 13:44
The Hammersmith Ram, Hammersmith
Best pub I've been in to in ages..Good food, great music session, lovely guiness
17 Mar 2013 13:41
its a nice little shop/pub conversion.
Atmosphere quite good as it is so small that three is a crowd.
Now suffering from pub closures nearby as the animals are still out there and they need watering somewhere!!

Absolutely lovely bar, lovely owners,lovely staff..
Live music on occasions,but they have stopped doing food which is a bit surprising as it was delicious!
21 Nov 2012 15:58
Decent enough pub . Comfortable surroundings. Unfortunately I left because I got fed up waiting to be served.
21 Nov 2012 15:47
Barely qualifies as a pub, but its a nice looking overpriced restaurant really!!
21 Nov 2012 15:45
It's ok for a quick couple. Used to be a Wetherspoons and you can tell that from the furnishment. Its clean, sells bog standard keg beers and lager, its pretty inoffensive.
21 Nov 2012 15:42
The Waggon and Horses, Elstree
Absolutely proper boozer. Real Ales,ciders, varied lagers. Old world look, roaring fires, live music nights, great food, great bar staff . Proper,proper boozer!!
21 Nov 2012 15:36
Its no longer really a pub, its a restaurant with a tiny bar. Snobby landlord, over priced pretentious food. Over priced beer
21 Nov 2012 15:33
Standard keg lagers and bitter. It's quite nicely furnished and clean. It's ok to watch Sky football generally. Staff are adequate. The customers are best described as varied.
There's no back yard so the smokers gathered at the front door do present an intimidating barrier and I'm sure that loses custom for this place.
21 Nov 2012 15:31
Typical Harvester, cheap lager, kids hurtling about after school, graveyard atmosphere, useless staff(bar one). Its not a pub
21 Nov 2012 15:25
The pub has actually had a complete refit, including new upholstery and furniture, the creation of a snug, and a dining area to the rear. Sunday roast dinners have been introduced. It's not a real ale pub, but there are always 2 cask ales on offer, currently London Pride and Doombar. There was an initial problem with the music, but that's been sorted out and now its zoned front and back. It is a local wet pub, which is a good thing as these are fast disappearing and either shutting or being "gastro-pubbed". I'm a local and I've never done any "intimidating" or been "intimidated", and the bikers on show are generally middle aged/elderly chaps and ladies who belong to a bike club, hence the Harley on the new pub sign. The natives here are very friendly, as are the staff, if you make the effort and since the refurb things are slowly on the up. It's the only proper pub for miles and its worth the effort.

Sheephaven Bay, Camden
