Friendly staff and very good ales!

I've signed up here just to post my comments on this awful pub. We tried an assortment of lagers and the American IPA and most of them had a distinct after-taste of detergent. the staff were rude/confused when this was brought to their attention. Food was poor and I would defiantly never go again. 1/10

Beer was a little funny tasting, barman was moody - nothing special.

Was pretty busy when we popped in last night, although the location and the fact it's open until midnight are probably two reasons for that.
Mainly stuck to the Doombar (£2.95) which was in good form, although they also had Brains SA, Pride, Bengal Lancer, a chocolate beer and a very stouty one which varied in price up to around £3.50 for a pint.
Quite dark inside due to the panelling, and the music was also pretty loud downstairs. Much quieter in the smaller dining area upstairs.
Friendly staff, which moves the place up another mark.

I hadn't been in this place for several year but dropped in a couple of weeks ago to find a refurbished and much improved pub. The previously manky interior now has an impressive dark wood replacement. I'm not sure how long ago this took place but it has certainly taken the pub from one looking to catch the overspill from Charing Cross (no doubt escaping the horrors of the Boadicea) to a genuinely pleasant place for a pint.

The beer range was also impressive with regulars like Doom Bar, Pride, Landlord and Seafarers interspersed with less common Brains SA and Thornbridge Jaipur IPA across the six pumps. The pint of Seafarers I had was fine.

If you are in the area and can't be bothered to walk over to the Ship and Shovell this is a very acceptable alternative.
