The Kings Arms, Waterloo

Excellent pub with good selection of ales. Used to be my regular but the prices have risen that bit too high for me so now go elsewhere.

The Stage Door, Waterloo

The good: big screens for the sport. Pretty quiet at weekends. Friendly-ish staff. Expensive, but not as ridiculously so as some of the pubs in the area.

The bad: I wish I was making this up, but 3/4 of the way through my pint I found a metal screw in there. I went up to the bar and the barman said "ah, I was looking for that. Sorry.". What???

There's a pool table that is on its last legs, and a small roof garden, with an outlet pipe from the kitchen that occasionally pumps out the smell of gas or greasy food.

Better pubs in the area are the Kings Arms on Roupell Street and, a bit further away, the Thirsty Bear. Still on the hunt for somewhere decent and (relatively) cheap, though.
