Review: This pub is deceptively big. Looking at it from outside you'd swear you wouldn't have enough room to swing a cat in but it is actually quite long. Popular with after work crowd from the area. The pints are expensive enough but go down a treat after a long day at office. The decor is a simple wooden effect and look well. Service is fine. Also has one of the biggest clocks I've ever seen in it (halfway down the pub) so you'll never be caught short for last orders.
Public Reviews:
- Architecturally and atmospherically disastrous, this pub is a cross between a canteen and an especially ugly church. Big, brown and wooden, this pub has all the character of an airport lounge. It tends to be drafty and uncomfortable. You can either sit at high stools at the bar, around high tables in the front section, or in the row of antisocial sections which run most of the length of the bar. There is also a mezzanine which seems to be only used for parties, and a wierd bit near the toilets right at the back, which admittedly might be comfortable for a large group. Having said that, most of the bar staff are lovely. The evening food is tasty, and they do not churn out ubiquitous pap music.
- Carvery lunch is excellent and one of the best places for full lunch on Baggot Street. Evenings this one is for a quiet chat or a quiet night out. The bar is very, very long but all in is well kitted out. Pop upstairs for some nice leather sofas. Go for the grub, but for more life head to Searsons next door.
