Dirty Dicks Reviews Summary

Atmosphere & Decor

Pros:

• "Went in today, great atmosphere, staff were super friendly and quick at serving and clearing tables."
• "Love the interior look of the place, don't know how old this particular establishment is, but the beams and brickwork look as though they have been lived in for a long time and I mean that in the best possible way."
• "An historically architectural, edge of the City gem. Aged, distressed Wood everywhere, including barrel & butchers block tables. Excellent, ancient character."
• "Beautiful old pub with a great atmosphere and a good selection of drinks on tap."
• "The pub is charming, with its old, wooden beams and Elizabethan feel."
• "Captured by the attractive name, we couldn't miss this place! Wooden pub, warm atmosphere."
• "Dirty dicks is worth a visit, just to see the interior!"

Cons:

• "The Vault room downstairs hosts events - comedy, lectures etc. It is very hot and stuffy!"
• "Standard bar that is decent enough for a late night beer but unfortunately the music is way too loud for my liking, which makes it impossible to have a conversation without having to shout at each other, along with everyone else in the bar."
• "Does get very loud in the evening."
• "Its VERY noisy downstairs and almost deserted upstairs! So take your pick."
• "While the service and overall atmosphere was amazing (as was the aesthetic), the only fault was the extreme noise that went through the bar to the dining room."

Cons:
