Acorn 20, Kingston Upon Thames

OK, The former Artful Dodger has been gutted and sanitised.

The good stuff, Opened out lay out, smokers corner retained, toilets upgraded.

Gone, pool tables, real ale.

Gained
DJ muzak all night long. Too loud to talk over, not loud enough to dance to.
Food, it is good but they keep themselves to finger food.

If you like bars, its worth visiting, if you like pubs, its not for you.

Needs about 12 months to 'mature' as it still feels like a show home!

I've given it a bang in the middle 5

Old Orleans, Kingston Upon Thames

I only drink there because its the after work venue (that and the dodger)

Talk about between a fraggle rock and a hard place, and this is the fraggle rock.

Cold, souless, reminds me of that god awful chicargo chain.

Lacks a drinkable beer beyond a blanc, you ask a whiskey and dry ginger, you sometimes get it, you sometimes get a blank stare.

Its your regular 'trendy' racket venue.

The Litten Tree, Kingston Upon Thames

and the one in epsom seems to have been bulldozed?

Mind you, the door policy there was just asking for the place to be shut down.
