The Slug & Lettuce, Mayfair, W1

What do you expect? S&L crap pub with no real ale, of course. No personality at all. Will not be returning.

Unfortunately, as dull and charmless as one might expect. Anonymous corporate decor, with all tables laid up for dining and just a few stools along the bar. Sign indicates an upstairs bar (not visited). No real ale, or even any keg bitter, so had a quick Estrella Damm (£2.25 for a half) before heading elsewhere.

Seven or eight years ago I would be seen in here quite often. Not through choice, it just happened to be my mates meeting pub before hitting the city. Not a lot has changed as it is still the same lacklustre Slug with expensive premium lagers and uninterested staff. In fact the only difference I noticed was that the toilets smelt a lot more yeasty. I've promised myself not to ever go in here again.
