Lovely drinks & affordable.

However, I am very disappointed in the disabled toilet currently being used as a storage area.

Not very inclusive for the disabled community, as you wouldn’t be able to use the toilet safety as you can’t reach grab rails and also the amount of clutter doesn’t make it an accessible toilet.

A large pub. Often either very busy or very quiet. A good place to go for a pint or two though

Spacious it is. It has a few couches, if sitting lower to the ground is your thing. Conveniently close to the O2 Academy if you fancy a pre/ post concert drink.

What a lovely experience on a Tuesday night. The barman who we’d like to call a “Johnny Depp lookalike” was super friendly, and made an overly fussy customer very happy. Went out of his way to make our night. Extra spicy Bloody Mary was on point. Place is lovely and clean, garden beautiful with heaters for the winter. 10/10

Good place, decent atmosphere.
But…
Do you want the exact same food and drinks, for a lower price too, just go to Spoons.
