A pub that's gone down the gastro route but some pub character remains and drinkers are welcome. Internally the L shaped room is opened out loosely into two areas. The bar is home to four handpumps offering two ales, Purity UBU and Black Sheep Blitzen on my visit, the third handle had Seacider on leaving the fourth stick bare.I didn't dislike the pub but not somewhere to make a dedicated return to.

A decent sized street corner pub with benches and tables running around the exterior but not for use after 9pm.The interior has been stripped out in that gastro pub style,with trendy hanging short fluorescent tube lighting suspended from the ceiling. The large plate glass windows give lots of natural light to the large dining type tables and bench seating inside.There is exposed brickwork on the way to a staircase giving access to the loos and a first floor photo exhibition,an area which can also be hired for a private party.There is an internal corridor to a rear walled beer garden.
I was peckish and chose from a short menu featuring mainly veggie and vegan food ,although there are meat options.My vegan burger and sweet potato fries was very well cooked and worth the £13.50,filling and delicious.
At the bar there were four handpumps offering Five Points XPA,Harvey's Sussex Best ,Thornbridge Brother Rabbit (NBSS 3.5,£4.35) and a Seacider.
A good pit stop and with passable real ale worth a visit on any crawl of the area.Better than I expected or feared in this hip neighbourhood.

A first into this mid-Victorian pub, once known as the Prince of Wales, the name truncated around 2008 for reasons unknown. Like the Londesborough, this is quite a commanding corner pub which goes back a fair way. The interior is unsurprisingly quite made over, painted olive green throughout with a little bare brick where some logs are stored. Lighting is a bit odd, coming in the form of these tubular Art Deco sconce lights containing fluorescent tubes with further tubes hanging from the ceiling, backed with shiny steel reflectors. The floor is modern bare boarded and the bar has a rather unattractive modern wooden herringbone frontage with chequerboard bar apron; the rear is tiled. Above, is one of these increasingly repetitive tubular steel gantries. Furniture is a mix: there are some conventional tables and chairs, high stools with beer shelves to the windows and a twin stretch of studded claret-coloured banquettes in the centre. The ‘washrooms’ are upstairs but as they didn’t contain a bath, they are in reality just lavatories. What few customers were in were young and fashionable and seemingly mostly French. Music was playing on the stereo but at a sensible volume.
Ales: Brick Brewery's Kinsale Best Bitter and Wild Beer Co’s Bibble at £2.25 a half – not too bad but I’ve had this before and served better.
This place is ok though is very similar to the Londesborough, which I preferred. I also preferred the Shakespeare, so doubt I’d return here if in the area as there’s better to be had in neighbouring streets.
There’s a Friday and Saturday 12.00 am licence too.
