Nice venue, the downstairs bar is quite small, so it can be a little claustrophobic at peak times (such as Arsenal matchdays).

The upstairs theatre seems to host a wide variety of acts- from amateur drama to professional stand-ups- but is far from the largest of venues so big acts sell out very quickly.

This is also where the Mighty Boosch started their careers!

The bar staff was super friendly, even when there...more

This pub wins the award for the most tautological name ever. I went here with my mother, because that's how I roll...bling bling.

The downstairs bar area was busy when I went mid-week and seemed groovy. Being served beer in plastic cups is always a sign of class. (This isn't due to the target market for the pub, but because they won't allow you to take glass upstairs into the theatre.)
