Quinno _ left this review about The Barking Smack
A pub that is better than the initial impression (unclean, dark, grotty, a bit chav - basically a low-brow seafront pub) it gives off. There was a decent selection of ale, including a rather nice Tipples Brewery Moonrocket. The food (mussels) was pretty good, as was the service. However, it's difficult to overlook the broken window and the creosoted radiator, as well as the comedy lavs!
With a bit of TLC, this could be a really good place as it's got the location sorted. Until then it's just OK - worth a stop for a pint but not a session.
