The George, South Woodford

absolute skankhole. cant get served unless you wait more than 10 minutes, and the bar staff seem to just ignore you even if youre standing there looking like youre waiting for a drink. the bar was an absolute mess and the tables hadnt been cleaned in god knows how long. and there was broken glass all over the floor. seems like quality of service has been disregarded for milking pubescent teens of as much of their money as possible.

guaranteed to serve you a drink if youre falling down drunk, though. which must be good for all the alcoholics in the area. responsible retailing, it is not.
plus a couple of people on the table nearby us were seemingly itching for a fight and at each others throats. no wonder they have bouncers in there these days.

disappointing really because i used to enjoy coming here every week with my friends from work. i doubt i'll be in here again any time soon though.

The Crooked Surgeon, Leicester Square

came here saturday afternoon as part of a pub crawl. several of my friends were sharing a hot dog costume at various points of the afternoon. good atmosphere with the six nations rugby on the big screen. and the food was good too.

i have been here on a saturday night though and seen its impossible to get served for ages, but in the middle of london thats to be expected. would come back but be choosy about WHEN.

The Red Lion, Withington

came here hoping to take part in the free quiz night they run every monday, but we turned up too late for it.

other than that, my experience here was a good one. would easily come back again.
