Featured ColumnistSeemingly huge from outside, this place is actually a pub split into a couple of other venues that open at different times and on different days. The singular front pub turned out to be a very cheap nest that is very close to the tube station. Upon entry, it feels like a pub that has been dragged from an old style train station with a large clock as centre-piece and old wood finishings on a number of tables.Above you are wide screen tv's showing the football, and in front the bar is well stocked with Extra cold strongbow and shots at �1.30 each. The bar staff and punters are all friendly and the place really has a punky/rocky air to it. I even bumped into bald Phil, if you see him in there give him a "big up" from me!Overall a very cheap little pub with a great location, would be awesome if bigger but this would impede its character...:

Hello, I'm on a mission to visit and rate every pub, club and bar in the UK. I know what your thinking but don't worry- i've got an artificial liver on standby.read about Gregory Cristal's progress on his blog http://barblog.lastminuteliving.com/

The music bar for the live bands is a top night. Good bands and set up..
