We must have passed this place about 100 times on our way to Touchwoods. We would have done the same this time except Touchwoods was fucking closed. "Come on," I said "How bad can it be?" We were about to find out.....
One of us came in here about 4 years ago and he was amused to find the exact same people still here. The Irish-theme seems to include the usual beer-barrel tables, a trumpet and a banjo stuck to the wall, a canoe glued to the ceiling with neon lights in and some blue paint on the ceiling representing Dublin's famous River Liffey.
Ale - Carling, XXXX and Grolsch on tap. Forgot to try the Guiness in an Irish-bar which is a schoolboy error....sorry!
Toilets - 1/5 - If you want to shut the cubicle door while you have a crap, you have to sit in darkness.
TV - 1 in the whole gaff, terrestrial purposes only.
Barstaff - Friendly but seem to spend more time round our side of the bar chatting.
Local Nutter - 1. The bloke in the High-Vis cowboy hat. 2. The old bloke who shambled in when we were there and the whole place fell silent and stared at him like it was a John Wayne western. (this second bloke also stole our ciggies we think)
Heading for the door, we noticed they have loads of trophies behind the bar. These are probably for "The shittest pub in Waterloo award". We tried to think of a reason that we would ever go back in there and could only come up with "If it was Christmas Day and everywhere else was closed". It's in a weird place, hidden away behind two better pubs but still......
Overall - 2/10
