If you go for a pub to drink then this is great . If you go for food you cannot hear yourself as the noise is deafening and service is slow due to all the pub patrons drinking and blocking the table areas

Très bon pub, les cocktails sont excellents et leur choix de gin extrêmement large. Seul bémol, un habitué ivre mort dès 20h30 et portant une perruque blonde, qui nous a accueilli en collant son front sur le notre (d'un aire de chercher la bagarre). Un conseil, parlé lui de moto GP, il deviendra bien plus sympathique. Bon courage pour le comprendre, après autant de verre il n'articule plus trop. En tout cas, super pub. Je vous le recommande !
