Great rock pub, pretty dingy lighting and a great jukebox, lots of Bruce Springsteen, Led Zep, Pink Floyd etc.

We live in South West London, quite a long way away but always make the journey specifically for the chilli nachos - seriously unbeatable. Always end up staying far too late, spending copious amounts on both the pool table and jukebox but well worth it.

If I lived closer we would eat those nachos at least twice a week!]]> Wed, 28 Oct 2009 09:44:03 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/132237j/big-red/1001y8k938625953 BiggseyMalone relaxed sport pub late license mature excellent pub food independent pub young and fun rock pool friendly 51.55774 -0.119441 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/132237j/big-red/1h9rl7

This is the most local rock pub to my flat, so I tend to end up in here a fair amount.

The decor is American biker bar / roadhouse style and does a pretty good job of it. The staff are friendly, but usually too rushed to stop and chat for very long.

It can be very loud, as the rock / metal / alt jukebox is always up high, and they have an unfortunate habit of showing major football matches on very intrusive screens.

The drinks selection is pretty mediocre. No real ale, even in bottles. Only a couple of house wines, which are barely adequate, very restricted selection of core spirits.

The food should be avoided - there are numerous reports of people coming down with food poisoning from eating there.

If you're local to Holloway and into rock / metal / goth (or meeting friends who are), this is a good place to start your evening (and also worth remembering for a late night watering hole).]]> Mon, 08 Dec 2008 10:57:17 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/132237j/big-red/1h9rl72033195423 kittylyst pool late license rock 51.55774 -0.119441 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/132237j/big-red/158al8
