NOTE:Every so often I get asked to meet people in stupid pubs and this was one of those occasions. Before I even got there I knew this would be a dismal experience and I am sad to say my instincts were bang on. The immediate impression on entering was the noise: crowds of office workers bellowing at each other in a bid to make themselves heard over the music. Then there was the horribly contrived décor which tries to be trendy, fails miserably and the result is piss-poor version of a Slug and Lettuce. After that you have try and get a drink. The choice for beer drinkers was limited to lager, er – lager or cold Guinness all served at prices that made my wallet shrink back into my jacket pocket. They purport to serve cocktails, but depending on whom you get served by at the bar you’ll either be told they’re too busy to make any or they will labour for ten minutes alternately reading the recipe and searching for the ingredients then make it wrong anyway. Not good enough. They have a comedy club downstairs, but it’s the pub upstairs that’s the joke.
