Absolutely
astronomical
prices.
I
wish
I
could
say
I
enjoyed
this
staple
of
Camden.
I'd
understand
if
the
place
was
actually
nice,
or
had
some
sort
of
unique
vibe,
but
this
is
just
another
rundown,
old
beer
smelling
English
pub.
The
only
difference
between
this
and
those
gritty
neighbourhood
pubs,
is
here
they
play
deafeningly
loud
heavy
metal
and
it's
in
Camden.
£7
for
25ml
of
cheap
rail
gin.
And
even
then,
I
had
to
tell
the
bartender
to
actually
fill
the
jigger,
instead
of
halfway
like
I
saw.
His
response
was,
"Well,
we
never
fill
it
all
the
way."
Essentially,
you're
telling
me,
"We
love
fraud."
I'm
guessing
that
is
on
the
direction
of
the
management
and
not
his
personal
choice.
If
your
single
jiggers
are
standard
25ml
English
measures
which
I
would
assume
as
you
are
a
bar
in
England,
then
yes,
actually,
you
must
fill
it
to
the
top.
Or
else
you're
short
pouring.
It's
ridiculous
that
25ml
is
the
standard
in
the
UK
as
it
is
(we
are
used
to
US
ounces
which
are
30ml
--
and
35ml
in
Scotland),
but
to
short
on
that?!
What
am
I
getting
then?
20ml?
For
£7!
It's,
as
the
boomers
would
say,
highway
robbery.
I
then
ordered
one
double
vodka
and
soda
and
it
came
to
£17!!!
I
can
get
sophisticated
cocktails
at
fancy
bars
in
Soho
or
Shoreditch
for
less
than
that.
Why
anybody
would
come
here
is
beyond
me.
To
top
it
off,
I
asked
for
a
slice
of
lemon
or
lime
and
was
told
they
have
to
charge
for
that...
because
they
only
have
one
lime.
Yes,
one
lime
for
that
whole
night's
service.
What
is
going
on?
I
get
that
things
are
more
expensive
these
days,
but
this
is
borderline
insane.
I
don't
even
mind
the
loud
rock
music,
as
allegedly,
it
is
a
music
bar,
but
it
sure
didn't
feel
like
it.
It
felt
like
a
straight-up
tourist
trap.
Nothing
more.
I
can't
say
I
hated
it,
as
the
bartenders
were
pretty
cool
guys,
but
I've
been
to
most
of
the
pubs
in
the
area
at
one
time
or
another
and
this
really
has
to
be
the
most
overpriced,
overrated
one.
If
it
was
reasonably
priced,
I
would
say
it's
a
pretty
okay
place.
