The Brook, Brentford

This was the final pub of the "Griffin Park Four" for me to complete as my previous visit had seen this establishment closed. Now re-opened, I've become the completest I wanted to be, but this probably isn't the pub I was expecting. Entering from the Brook Road entrance, you walk into a smallish rectangular room with the bar counter facing. There's a dartboard against the wall to the bar's left and a wall-mounted touchscreen jukebox to the right of the entrance door, outward-facing. No ale on the bar, but Sharp's Atlantic and Doom Bar were spotted beyond the bar in a darkened area out back (as I realised the bar was actually an island bar). An OK-ish Doom Bar was £3.00 and I decided to decamp to the patio beer garden as the clutch of characters around the bar, in cohorts with the barmaid seemed a bit rum. Always great to be able to actually make a visit to a pub that had previously been shut, but, like PSM, I can't see myself troubling this one again.
