I love this place! 26th February 2009

As someone who has frequented jonos for at least 3 and a half years (since I turned 18) I am disappointed to hear that the person who reviewed before me had an unpleasant experience at Jonos, I have never had any problems when I have been there and have never had any issues with rude service.
I like the atmosphere in the pub (it reminds me of the local pub near my home in Ireland), midweek it can get a bit quiet but that is a good time to chat to the bar staff and to have a quiet drink with friends- the weekend is when it gets busy, often with live music (although the music can be hit and miss). The manager of the pub is a lovely, no nonsense woman who runs a very tight ship and I have seen her on occaision grab an incredibly drunk rowdy bloke by the scruff of the neck and send him outside!
Also there is the added bonus of 'lock ins' at Jonos- that is if you are there before 11pm and are not being too obnoxious to the staff! There is also a large mix of age groups ranging from the young to the old Irish and plenty of locals too. With a definate Gaelic football & Galway theme and a nice smoking area above the pub.
I like it, so do the rest of my friends- thats all I can say really!
Oh and it's good value for money too!

First time visit recently and most certainly the last. When my Scottish boyfriend had the affront to ask, after we had ordered our drinks, if we had been served Irish or Scotch, the barmaid told the manageress about it (even though it was a polite enquiry, not a complaint) who then came and questioned us about it, not in a polite way but in a how-dare-you-question-what-you’re-given-in-this-pub way. I’m Irish and have always enjoyed drinking in the Irish pubs in West London and have always come across friendly staff, but not in this case.
