Review of The Angel
15 May 07, 15:37
A grimy, horrible Wetherspoons 
As far as pubs go, I confess I'm not a big fan of Wetherspoons as a chain. Often soulless, rough, grimey dumps, these pubs are a prime example of what goes wrong when chains take over. This prejudice has suited me well over the years, and it takes something extra rare for me to change my mind about this chain. The Angel didn't come close. Your usual dump, this pub reminds me of everything which is wrong with this chain. Yellow, overly crowded, cold, and excedingly boring, The Angel is everything you would expect from these people. Avoid like the plague.

Review of Filthy Macnastys
11 May 07, 09:27
Good musical clientel, nice beer, bit difficult to find 
Aside from having possibly the coolest name for a pub ever, Filthy MacNasty's has quite a bit going for it. Frequented by famous musicians from across the spectrum of rock history, it has a clientel worthy of praise. Compact and smokey, and with some great choices of beer, it is also a great cult place to relax in. It's a labour of love to find this place, a bit off the urban track and so on, but if anything, that just makes it extra special. The people who are there, want to be at that particular pub, and to me, that makes it even more brilliant.
