Brilliant pub! I always have great banter with the bar staff. Very traditional types and also the younger lot, but makes for a great mix. As long as you remember your in somebody's place then you will really enjoy it. Its an east end pub with a lot of history, as the owner, bar staff or customers will tell you. Just read that people get charged for water! HA! You also cant use the toilets if you aren't a customer. I love that!
The most welcoming pub I go to by far, the best looking too.
I was truly disapointed to see that palm tree's managemnt openly demonstrates homophic behavior. My friend and her girlfriend were poked as they were kissing and told that they are not allowed to do so. The management said that this is a policy that is being kept for heterosexual couples also, which is a fact, that it is not true.
I've never experienced any problems here. It has a nice atmosphere and the live music is generally pretty good. Summer time is particularly great - take your beer and sit on the grass by the canal (usually accompanied by fish and chips). Thumbs up from me.
Fantastic place Family run and great music...they have to 3 or 4 musicians in 4 nights a week and have to pay top dollar for them so don't ask for tap water buy a drink and enjoy the music! You will have a great time here guaranteed!
Horrible, please avoid. A previously much-enjoyed pub with nice cosy feel and good crowd has been ruined by the rudeness and homophobia of the staff. As result of having my arm on my girlfriend's shoulder (and nothing more!), we were told by the barman working on saturday 2nd jan 2010 that they didnt have hugging and touching there and it "wasnt that kind of pub". Its not such a great pub that small-minded bigotry need to be tolerated.
I visited this pub for the first time last friday,28/8/09 and loved it straight away.The decor is excellent;because it hasn't been updated for so long its trendy!
A jazz band was playing,they were very good and it appeared they had their own groupies(average age 70!).
There was a very good mix of people in there,all ages and types.
Definitely a find i will be visiting again and taking some friends.
I am sure the pub has featured in some films,does anyone know the answer to this one??
I have always loved this place and regularly enjoyed the jazz and the atmosphere of a Friday/Saturday/Sunday evening. However recently I was unfortunate enough to ask for a glass of water (when ordering a glass of wine) and subsequently bore the wrath of the woman behind the bar who served me. Suddenly what had been a pleasant evening turned sour as other customers confirmed she had done the same to them (one gentleman had even been thrown out for asking for water!) This place looks and feels like it values its customers and the community, however it is merely a facade. The staff were hostile and rude and I will never return. A massive disappointment.
