Ambience & Decor

Pros:

  • "A huge place yet warm and inviting."
  • "Numerous rooms plus a large beer garden at the back."
  • "Love this kinda funky restaurant and bar, every room is so different."
  • "Ultimate shabby-chic, inviting pub in Hackney's divine Lower Clapton."
  • "Beautiful building, very well furnished with different areas which look amazing."
  • "A great pub with great tunes."
  • "Beautiful old pub with a lovely vibe."

Cons:

  • "Decor looks tatty and tables bit sticky but somehow works."
  • "Particularly not keen of the view directly into the urinals!"
  • "A cavernous pub, draped in derelict decor. The exceedingly high ceilings are wonderful, however, the shabby, faux industrial loom is tired, and not executed well."
  • "Used to come to this pub loads - but really gone down hill. Everything’s sticky, unclean tables, unclean staff."

Service

Cons:

  • "The woman that brought the food to us must be naturally rude, or having one hell of a bad day."
  • "Waited over 20 minutes to be served and the place wasn't even that busy. Lacklustre staff."
  • "Beer was good, my friend approached one of the male bar staff and couldn’t hear him as there was music and he’s deaf in one ear, the bar staff had an attitude and seemed agitated as my friend asked him to repeat himself, made him feel very self conscious."
  • "Staff a little bit indifferent on this occasion."
  • "Service was horrific and the attitude from the staff was dire."
  • "The bar staff really dampened the experience but not appearing to give a crap about who they served or how quickly they moved behind the bar."
