Wonderful. I found myself here after being lost and exceedingly grumpy at losing my friends to the greater part of London and my phone to a smaller wetter part of the toilet earlier in the evening. So armed with my wallet and realitively little cash I opted for the first pub I could see and was surprised by this realitively small looking pub. I was pleasantly surprised for the following reasons: 1. For the cost of the pints. (Though not so cheap, it is was cheap for the area and nice too.) 2. For the atmosphere and the board games. (Not only did I start playing by myself, I was soon joined my others keen to learn the ridiculous rules of the novelty board game above the bar.) 3. For the size (its much bigger than it looks, which meant I could find a seat easily) and 4. For the friendly staff. There was a distinct lack of music but after a while you wouldn't have been able to hear it anyway as it started to get busy.

At this point I was excited enough to forget about loosing my previous friends and any/all contact with the world through digital means and made a bad night good. I thank thee.

I have been to this pub several times in the last few years, mainly with works parties, which have always been good, pleasant staff and a great atmosphere..... however this all changed last night by the severely rude barman that was running it last night.

Two from our party were drinking soda water (one was driving and one was a little unwell) but that didn't stop the barman for making rude remarks about it. I'm not sure what we had done to warrant such a reaction from him but every-time he walked past us he told us to shut up, stop swearing (?!) and to buy a proper drink, which mystified us as the rest of our party WERE drinking!

We were constantly stared down aggressively by the barman's friends when ever we came to the bar or left to go to the toilet.

Eventually we had enough and decide to leave... and we were met by 'good, you are finally going, take you soda water with you' and more unintelligible verbal abuse by the barman and his 'friends'.

This is totally unacceptable especially as we had gone there for a quite drink and a meeting. My friends and myself will certainly not be back and I will not book our Christmas parties with them again.
I will be contacting the brewery about it also.

No laughing, talking, "swearing" or drinking. Even if you find yourself dying of thirst, avoid at all costs!

Glasshouse is run by a very friendly young couple, made us feel as if we were at home. Great food and great service.

I am always in there. It's a short walk from where I work and a shorter stagger to the clubs. I love a pint of Alpine or 12 with Anita, Lee and Elana.
