It's also walking distance to the brewery part of town. The staff are friendly and accommodating and I had a very positive experience. The hostel itself, as many noted, is very noisy. Despite wearing earplugs, I could hear and feel the vibrations of the music below. The rooms are a tight squeeze. The night we arrived I really needed sleep and it was pretty loud and smoke was coming in through the open window. Closing it made it muggy and hot. The next night I just decided if you can't beat them, join them! And joined the people downstairs. It was fun! Would be hard to stay a long while and don't recommend for light sleepers.

I ordered at the bar for takeaway, even offering one of my tupperware, but the dreadlocked (gross) dude smirked at at me and raised hos 'brow before sauntering away with the the container. I got my meal about 15 minutes late and glad I checked it out before leaving bc the chef had conveniently forgot to add the superfood salad that is SPECIFICALLY stated on the menu as accompanying the meal.I asked him about it, got a scowl but he returned to the kitchen and I got a measly helping atop the aubergine. At least the Bee Sting perry was good! The venue is also quite spacious but this staff member is emblematic how London sux compared to NY where this attitude would NOT be tolerated.

Okay, they are independent, but you do get to a point where you are so large that you can no longer claim to be independent, especially if you have bars world wide.

Worth almost missing your train home for…read more This place is rad. I've been here twice and I'm most certainly a fan -- once to see a friend who lives in London and once by pure, happy accident. The return visit confirmed what a cool place it is: sweet DJ playing a great selection, chilled staff who're quick to serve, a great selection of craft beer and ale, and some pretty funky vintage furniture in the cosy corner. (This is now my "regular" spot, FYI.) Love the weird rabbit/rat picture too. I guess I can't elaborate further, except that if you're getting the last train back to Leeds, you can just about make it with 20 minutes to go, but that involves stampeding your way there. Glad I didn't miss it, and it was worth it for the panic. Now that I think about it, both times I've nearly missed the train home. I kinda think that says something about it, don't you?

I wrote a review of he Slaughtered Lamb not too long ago, and only gave it four stars. How wrong I…read morewas! Granted, this review is more about the music venue that the Lamb runs on in the basement. The Slaughtered Lamb's music venue is just spectacular. It's dimly, yet lambently and comfortably lit. There are many couches and chaises in the little room, but I recommend getting there a bit early to grab a spot at the bar. A friend and I went to see The Title Sequence and Zoey Van Goey. Check them out, they're great. Anyways, about twenty minutes into the show, I counted between forty-five and fifty people in the room. It was such good atmosphere, it was busy and crowded, but it was not at all uncomfortable. Later on, there must have been about one hundred people, but it was not at all oppressive. The room is set up in such a way that the band is not on a stage, but simply play right in front of the patrons. The Lamb is intimate enough that the bands talked and joked with the audience between sets and songs. It may just have been that the two acts I saw were really friendly, but he musicians were milling around, drinking and hanging out with the patrons. It was great. One of my favourite things about the Lamb is that the audience was actually there to listen and enjoy the music, not just drink and be loud. All in all, it was perfect. You should go!

I used to live in nearby Calvert Road so this was my local for some years. I still pop in from time…read moreto time though, as I can vary my journey home by getting off at Maze Hill station (about five minutes walk away). The Vanbrugh is staffed by a young group of people who are, on the whole pretty friendly and welcoming, and it attracts many regulars. The rear section of the pub is more of a restaurant - part of which is under a canopy (bit chilly in the winter). Food is probably above your usual pub grub - with a variety of specials. At the back there is a garden/patio - a petition to Greenwich Council to open it up for customer use has been sitting on the bar for some months. As for entertainment, think recorded music, some live music from time to time, and a TV screen in one corner, plus pub quizes.

Except for some minor stripping. But that's okay because tassels count for something, right? Anyway, yes the show was actually pretty good. It features some acrobatics, dancing, fire hula hoops, you name it. I was impressed given that the actual stage was quite small. The actors used the mezzanine quite extensively. I think of it as a very light cirque du soleil that is slightly bawdy. But I repeat, it is not a gentleman's club. In fact, the audience was either couples or groups of women. The seating is kind of weird upstairs. The room is circular so you may happen to view the show from behind the actors, which is what we did. It was still good but there were certain scenes that took place behind pillars, and it was a bit harder to view those scenes. I bought tickets for only 15 pounds (that's around $22 USD as of this writing) so it was not a bad deal.
