The Metropolitan Bar

Another Wetherspoons, another disaster

19 May 07, 20:59 Well below expectations

There is something telling about a pub which advertises itself with bright blue neon lights. Situated literally right outside Baker Street Tube Station, the Metropolitan is another example of why Wetherspoons should be closed. Spacious yes, cheap yes, but at the same time, this place is a prime example of how an open plan, brightly lit, pub can have absolutely no charm. Every time I've been into this pub, I've come away feeling uncomfortable and fed up. Wetherspoons staff never seem to be even remotely interested in their work, or willing to talk to you longer than is necessary, and yet again this place is the same. Factory line pubs... avoid them.
