  “Avoid avoid avoid. Bag snatchers operate in the area. Had my bag stolen on a Tuesday evening. Asked the staff about it who weren’t interested.”

  “Advertised until 2am on a Sunday night, turned up at 1:15 and told it was wrong on Google and they were closed. An absolute shame as this place 12 years ago and was an amazing dive bar. Somethings gone wrong.”

  “I came here around 4 months ago and got abused by the security, it was an awful experience. They told us we can’t come in because we’re not wearing jeans, I then got an uber home that came back and put on jeans. When me and my friend arrived back with jeans (0 confrontational energy from us) we got told “you can’t come back in because you was here initially in tracksuit bottoms”, in what world does that make sense? That was my first awful experience which made me not want to come back. 4 months later I come again, regrettably. I’m playing pool, I asked the barmaid when do they close. She said 2am and last orders are at 1.45am. At 1.20am a “closed” sign is thrown on our pool table randomly, (during the game) I ask what that is about (looking at the time) she said it’s just the rules and she wants to go home??? She just said 1.45 is the last order. We finished the game and asked if we can play 1 more, to the right of us they just started a game and was told they can, she then said we can’t, makes no sense what so ever ever. Complete jobsworth. Every time I come here, I have an awful experience. I believe in second chances, but I will not be back.”

  “Weirdly dead when I visited. Heard about this place for years and it has an amazing feel. Back in the day must have been amazing but sadly the lack of nightlife generally amongst youth means this great venue fell flat. Service was great but this is a rock dive bar that has lost its energy. Sad times.”

  “Menu advertising food and cocktails yet they don’t serve any food nor cocktails at all. If you want anything to eat you have to get something delivered… more importantly their “security” personnel is extremely racist/discriminatory towards you if you’re not British so do be careful.. absolutely wouldn’t step foot in this place ever again and would recommend you find any other establishment nearby instead. Extremely disappointed.”

  “Came with my friend for her birthday. She was wearing tracksuit bottoms ( a brand new present) bouncers said no trackies at the door. She was holding flowers in her hand and does not drink. Bouncers were enjoying belittling us so we did not complain. Grumpy men at the door looking for a fight. Do not come here.”

  “Bar staff were amazing, DJ was absolutely awful. Meant to be a rock bar DJ played only the worst pop songs. Was a real let down.”

  “Once again, since the same two guys have been working behind the counter, I was refused service at 1:08 a.m. on a Sunday, while they were already closing the pool tables. I took a 20-minute bus ride to get there, only to be sent away, even though the closing time on Google is listed as 2:00 a.m., and it used to actually be that. This used to be my regular Sunday spot, but after repeated experiences like this, I won’t be coming back anymore.”

  “Refused for the second time to serve us 1 hour before the closing time. I understand last minute order but one hour before is a joke. At this point change opening times.”
