Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Yates
Standard chain outlet in quite an imposing but rather rundown-looking building. Anonymous semi-modern furniture and limited decoration in a large bar with limited subdivision. Somewhat surprisingly, London Pride, Hobgoblin Gold, Proper Job and the more local Harvey's (£3.60) available from four of the five handpumps, but that's probably too many cask ales if the quality of my beer is anything to go by.

Graham Coombs left this review about Yates
A pretty typical Yates, mainly aimed at the students from the nearby uni, with a standard mix of bare brick and gloomy painted walls, livened up by the occasional artwork. A mixture of high and low tables, with a few TV screens around and a pool table to the rear. Outdoors is limietd to a few tables on the pavement. Handpumps were disappointingly offering Doom Bar and IPA, with Youngs Special off, and a Lilley fruit cider.

Strongers . left this review about Yates's
I’ve not been into a Yates’s for quite some time, but as I passed here on Monday evening last week I thought I’d pop in and have a look around. It was certainly one of the busier pubs I visited that night, but I think that this was mainly due to the Fulham v Chelsea game that was being shown on the projector screen and many plasma screens. There was a mix of students and professional drinkers in this open plan pub and there are DJs at the weekend and on Friday there is a late license until 3am, I’m not sure about any other days. The only hint of any ale was Bombardier that looked as though it was draught and the rest of the draught was the usual suspects including Staropramen. The barmaid that served me was friendly, but the Guinness wasn’t up to scratch and there was a sickly sweet smell around the bar. Cheap food is served, but I know not of the quality.
I didn’t like Yates’s in my youth and I like them even less now.
