Food and Drinks

• "Great selection of beers, good food, and very good service."
• "Amazing choice of drinks."
• "Great experience when I was in the UK, pint prices are awesome, an excellent selection of barrel and draft beers and the burgers are delicious."
• "The starters we ordered mac and cheese balls and teriyaki with sweet potatoes fries were nice plus the chicken smoke burger and the kids chicken nuggets was well received from the kids."
• "Delicious food and generous portions."
• "Beautiful chicken pie, gorgeous steak, and handsome veggie burger... all replete with good cider and wine."

Cons:

• "Now their range has taken a step back and is really generic."
• "Standard overpriced bang average Brewdog beer, food was terrible and not worth the price and is the first pub I’ve ever been to that charged for Mayo."
• "The food however, was a let-down. Deep fried in squid, cheese, fries in a notably non-fresh oil kind of made everything taste the same, an unwanted greasy taste."
• "The dinner started in a very disappointing way when we were served some tasteless cold fluid which was passed off as Aperol Spritz."
• "The food was abominable with dreadful tasting fish and chips, whilst the ribs were hard, tasteless, and incredibly fatty."
• "Burger patty completely dry, bun not toasted. Fries undercooked."
• "The ribs and chicken were both dry."

Ambiance and Decor

Pros:

• "The music selection was incredible!"
• "You can also take your drinks outside and across the road when the weather is good."
• "There's quite a lot of space indoors and it's usually easy to reserve a table."
• "One of my favorite places in the city. Relaxed and informal with a huge selection of craft beers, ales and cider."
• "Small but very well put together collection of drafts. Lots of bottle beers. Not the cheapest. Interior very luxurious and comfortable."
• "Great atmosphere with good music."
• "Interested, industrial style decor with plenty of comfy seating."

Cons:

• "It’s quite loud, both in terms of music and people’s voices carrying quite heavily in the space."
• "The music that's probably fine if you're a 14 year old skater punk, but absolute rubbish and headache inducing for most adults."
• "This branch is shabby and on the day we visited couldn't serve cold IPA due to a continuing cellar problem."
• "The music is also so loud that you will definitely need to shout to talk to your companions."
• "But we actually saw the cook rip open the pack of chips with his mouth before pouring them into the frying pan... that is unacceptable..."
• "Nice neighborhood pub around the corner from the tower with friendly staff."
• "This place has a very good beer selection, as you would expect, but it’s a little too ‘big screen, big food’ for my liking and I find the outside decor really vulgar-looking!"

Value and Pricing

Pros:

• "Drinks for all budgets."
• "Good prices."
• "Offers happy hour on cocktails between 4-8pm daily."

Cons:

• "The drinks were over priced for the area."
• "Overpriced... for around £17/£18."
• "Great choice of beer but it is ridiculously expensive, even by London standards."
• "The prices for beer were too much though. Six bucks for a pint of Schneider Weisse and basically every pils from the menu is just overpriced."
• "To top it all off we had to pay £11 in 'service charges' for some of the worst and most incompetent service we have ever received."
• "Burger was overpriced and very disappointing. Soggy sweet potato fries."
• "The beer is still good, albeit still expensive!"
