BRB at The Gate, Alexandra Park

Nice pub with a good jukebox and the occasional Friday night live music thing going on.

Pizzas are good but not consistent; Great when the young chef is in, but greasy and overdone when the old guy is cooking.

Burgers are always bland, nachos again, depends on who's doing them.

Nice crowd frequent the place, there is 1 bloke in his mid to late 40's who resembles Sid James who can be a little annoying as he hovers around and is very loud but he's harmless.

1 large table full of old guys is usually always present, 1 of them, i think he owns the place seems to encourage it which i think puts some of the younger guys off.

Manageress is good as are the bar staff mostly, never have to wait long to be served.

Most major gripe is they keep running out of fosters and the Carlsberg tastes funny!

Not as consistent with food and drink as the Arc in Angel, but not too bad overall.
