The Princess of Wales, Primrose Hill

I went to this pub last night as I have recently moved into Primrose Hill. The atmosphere was cold and it seemed to have a real unwelcoming vibe. I ordered the drinks for my friend and I. It took a while for the lady behind the bar to sort out the change and when she did she avoided my open hand and put the change on the bar. I looked at her and was speechless. She just looked at my as if to say 'what?'.

We went down the road to another bar which was amazingly friendly, comfortable and served beautiful drinks. I'll review that place next. It will be my local and the Princess will be avoided forever. I just found it rude, uncomfortable and - one last thing - recently decorated downstairs and the smell of fresh cut wood was overpowering...........it's the sort of thing that can be fixed if people make the effort...it's just not a pub for me...sorry.

I've given it 1/10 just to be polite. It would have had 0/10 were it not for the really nice beer garden - but then again what is the point in having a nice beer garden if you employ rude staff?
