This has got to be the most beautiful exterior of a pub I have ever seen. It is worth it for you to at least walk by, take a picture, and maybe pop in for a beer of a bite. I knew I had wanted to visit this pub since I saw pictures online ages ago. As I approached and say the gorgeous plants, flags, and signage ... I was not disappointed. The interior is spacious, but it was busy when we visited. There is no host/hostess, so, be prepared that it is on you to procure a table. The staff was nice enough, not overly friendly, but it's a pub, and I didn't necessarily expect 5-star service. There are plenty of drink options (mostly beer). The decor is chaotic and cluttered, but it works, and creates a fun environment. I wish I had time to try some of their Thai food. It smelled amazing as it passed by our table. Some tips: This pub is near the Nottinghill area. So, if you get a chance, check out the colorful buildings and the neat Portobello Market. If it's busy and packed, split up to search for seating. Odds are people all just having a pint or two and will be in and out shortly. The Thai menu looks amazing, but don't come in expecting typical English pub food. Also, the men's restroom had the most pungent urine smell that you could actually smell it harts away in the pub area. So, you might have to hold your breath as you go in. All in all, it was a fun time, and I would definitely go back! Cheers!!
