I reckon that this pub's gone downhill a bit since the previous reviewer's visit. It's unusual for a Greene King pub not to do one of their bogstandard ales like IPA, but this is the second of their pubs in as many weeks not to do a real ale. But they had masses of keg beers available, such as Lagunitas Day Time, Sambrook's London Pale Ale, and Punk IPA. My pint of Camden Hells (£5.05) was served in an odd stumpy glass, but it was Camden Brewery branded. I didn't see any sign of food on Monday afternoon.

As far as I could see, there are only tall tables/tall stools in here, including several large barrels doing duty as tall round tables. There's a small outside terrace at the front - really a smoking area I guess - and more outside seating at the back. I wouldn't call either of them a garden though. The only other thing worthy of note is a DJ booth with speakers surrounding it, so maybe it's used for musical entertainment of some kind. In fact I saw a "bring your own vinyl" sign on one of the walls.

It's all a bit gloomy in here, with the brightest thing being the neon sign behind the servery. In general it's a characterless place with a modern feel. It's not my kind of place at all, but it must appeal to some corner of the market, and good luck to them I say.
