I use to pop in here after work back when it was a "real" pub ie. smelly, dirty, old men and young kids playing pool in the back.
Now work brings me back round to maida vale, I love the change, - at last its been given the acknowledgement it deserves. One of the last old gin bars around still intact.
Someone has put some love into the old girl. Really like the way they opened the ceiling in the old pool hall to show the skylight and turned it into a modern dining room, just what maida vale needs, good food not to pricy and not to poncey.
Love the fact that the bar is now a twenties bar with funky music and some of the staff even funkier!- mad, all having fun. great atmosphere.

I DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH HALF THESE PEOPLE, I'VE JUST MOVED TO PUTNEY AND USED THIS SITE TO CHECK OUT THE LOCAL BARS, BUT WITH EVERYONE ON HERE WINGING THAT SOMEONE HAS ACTUALLY CHANGED SOMETHING, I NEARLY DIDNT TRY IT OUT.
I WASNT HERE BEFORE IT CHANGED BUT I THINK ITS A GREAT PUB. GOT EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT PUB GOERS, DOWNSTAIRS HAS A GREAT FUNKY FEEL TO IT AND A GREAT ATMOSPHERE, YES MAY BE A YOUNGER CROWD BUT THATS GOOD. UPSTAIRS AT GROUND LEVEL IS FOR THE MORE REFINED PEOPLE LOWER MUSIC AND A VERY FANCY DINING ROOM. I THINK THERE IS ANOTHER LEVEL BUT I HAVENT BEEN THERE YET(ITHINK ITS ONLY FOR FUNCIONS).
WHAT MAKES THIS PUB GREAT IS THE FRIENDLY STAFF (OR MABY ITS THAT IM FRIENDLY TO THEM)AS I'VE ONLY BEEN THERE A FEW TIMES THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN POLITE AND FRIENDLY HAVING A LAUGH, MET THE LANDLORD, - GOOD LAUGH.
YEAH IT MIGHT BE EXPENSIVE BUT IF YOU WANT CHEAP DRINK GO TO A WITHERSPOONS.
THE OTHER THING THAT MAKES THIS PUB GREAT IS THE FACT THAT NONE OF THE PEOPLE BELOW DRINK THERE ANYMORE!

Ah, ya just gotta love the view in this place - the riverside is nice too but i'm talking about the talent! both at & behind the bar, I thought i'd gone to heaven.
Great buzzing atmosphere on the weekends - nice and chilled during the day, I hear the foods great too.
met the landlord here too, great craic, still got time for you even if hes running around. A great allround pub thats easy on the eyes.
