Ian Mapp left this review about The Nags Head

Not really sure where to start here, I had no preconceived ideas about what to expect. Unsure whether I should trust a pub where the landlords name is more prominent than the name of the pub.

So, used to be Londons smallest pub before they opened the bottom room. More facts? That photo of our non sweating nonce, 8th in line to the throne, with his arm draped around a girl the same age of his daughter? Taken at #44 over the road.

Back to the pub. I queued behind a group of bemused Italian tourists who got the "treatment".

Card transations have to be more than £15
All beers are £8
Short measures
Rude service
Beers slopped in any old receptacle - Bitburger into a Guinness glass, if you please.

This meant I could be treated with the knowledge, and I swear I got a smile from the Irish Bar Lady.

I loved everything about it. Such an interesting, eccentric place that you wonder why anyone would come to spend (so much) money.

Will I be back - maybe to take disbelieving friends.

No changes here - still a slightly intimidating old creaky place, with Sinatra crooning in the background and Kevin just the same as ever. it’s enjoyable just to listen to him and the regulars, or observe the reactions of the many befuddled tourists that enter. £6 for a sublime Ghost Ship, still a minimum of £15 for card payment. suffice to say there are not many true eccentric pubs like this left, catch it while you can.

When I was told the rules, no cards (under £15) and strictly no mobile phones I thought it was going to be a Sam Smith’s pub but no it’s an eccentric, madly decorated place over three slightly different floor levels, the low counter has been described well before. It has a bit of an Irish vibe, the owners name appears on the front of the building in that style and there’s a possibly mad Irish barmaid/ landlady who rules the place with a rod of iron. My Ghost Ship was excellent and sadly it was £6 a pint. As you might guess it’s a gem.
