On weekends work till 2 a.m. Nice selection of bottled craft beers (they offer Table beer by Kernel brewery and Steam beer from Anchor brewery in San Francisco). Lagunitas IPA, and 2 real ales on tap.

Good boozer to grab a drink after work. It has comfy seating, large tables for big gatherings and some evenings even DJ. If football or rugby is on they would pull out a big screen!

Perfect Sunday hangout. Great selection of ales. Large portion of chips (£5.50) is enormous and delicious. Only serve roasts on Sundays.

Great vibe. A regular on a Friday night and has good music late on and a nice social vibe.

They have Bitburger on tap! In fact they have quite a few German lagers

Recently refurbished but hasn't lost its character. A good selection of draft beers and good food too.

Try the snacks menu. Macaroni cheese croquettes are a delicious bite size treat.

Comfy, friendly pub. Grab a comfy seat by the fire if you can!

Good for a young trendy group meeting but the music was too loud. Enjoyed the sharing platter and malbec.

The perfect escape from Westfield. Great place for mopey afternoon drinking, given the prison-cage-like booths and the depressing dukebox (Elbow, Nick Drake, Leonard Cohen all in a row on our last vis

Great range of bottles beers but avoid them unless you're made of gold. At £6.10 per bottle they are pisstakingly overpriced.

Useful for a restorative after the horrors of Westfield shopping... Especially on bitter winter's eve.

The Defector might have to be my new favorite cocktail, way too drinkable!

Nicest victorian tea cups and hipster soundtrack.

Average pub, could get lively and rowdy on weekends.

Excellent post-work pubbage

Depending on your mood this is either a brilliantly vibrant friendly craft beer pub which you'd like to have back in your hometown or like tonight, it's hipster hell.
