Below expectations
I went here a few years ago and it had great novelty value all decked out like Dr Frankenstein's lab and the trip the toilet would be accompanied with the rattling of chainsaws, terrifying death screams and creaking doors!
Went there recently and I'm afraid it'd lost it's charm and the toilet 'sound effects' had been replaced by the standard toilet attendant expecting a tip for passing you the soap!
Basically in movie rating terms, two years ago would have atttacted a solid '18', although it has since been savagely edited for TV and is now a family friendly '12a'

As expected
Just off Oxford Street you can find yourself in an oak clad pub, full of gothic decor and eerieness, drinking a "wednesday" or a "gomez" shot (served in a test tube ofcourse) and being truly freaked out by the footsteps and ghoulish cackle approaching when you go to the toilet...yes you have to try Ben Crouch, even if it is just for the W.C experience.
This used to be my local after work, all made so, because of the extremely friendly staff and awesome selection of music always playing. The beer prices are pretty standard (£3ish per pint), and the food is decent (although they just brought in a new menu which is slightly more expensive i believe).
Although gothic in theme, the pub always draws a real variety of people and is always busy in the evenings. There are tables outside for the smokers and the summer months too, which are in an alley rather than being on the road - a bonus in central!
