Funny! Wifey said last night that it looks like the set of a tv show. The lighting above adds to the impression.

It looks like the set of Rising Damp.

Maybe they should've called it Miss Jones'

I hope this pub continues the great service. I tried it Christmas Eve (A peroni of course, thanks cuddlycavies !!!)....
the staff and atmosphere were absolutely brilliant. Nice mix of ages and I'll definetely be going back again...Really hope they succeed.

Was in for a pint this evening and really like the new pub. Bags of atmosphere, and really good service. Was also very busy. Fair play to them. Hope it takes off.

Just one item which needs tidying is the cigarette butts outside - no dedicated smoking area on the premises so I take it the staff are keeping an eye on the amount of butts being stubbed on the pavement immediately outside the door?!? If opening at 5 and closing at the usual hours, then it won't be much a problem if the it's tidied up after closing. Would prefer not to see an ash tray stuck on a wall - I'm not a fan of the stale ciggy smell walking past such ashtray/bins during the day.

Dropped in tonight for a few beer's. Have to say the atmosphere was brilliant, staff very friendly and helpfull and the place was packed. Its just what Greystones was missing. Will definitely be back, this is how a pub should be run. I would recommend everyone to drop in.

I hope to one day get a seat in the pub. Its a welcome change but think there needs to be a small rethink on the lay out - especially at the entrance. In fairness its not christmas week every week so I presume it wont always be that busy.

Noticed that too. Really like the place inside, however, couches armchairs and large dining tables take up valuable standing space.

Take all that ambiance away, and you'll end up with The Burnaby!

Not necessarily. The layout and feel to the pub is nice - but I think they could do with less big armchairs around. Couches is one thing, but I have 3 problems with armchairs in pubs..

1) Purely personal, I don't like drinking my pint on an armchair, I can do that at home.

2) As noted, they take up too much space unless they're up against a wall, or in a corner.

3) You could get 3 or 4 low stools into the same area as one big armchair, thus encouraging conversation and interaction with your friends sitting on the couch on the other side of the table.

Mrs J and I made it in for a drink over christmas. Love the place, will definitely be back.

I'm a bit reluctant to ask this considering how much everyone, including myself, likes the new bar and don't want it to change, but does anyone know if the match is on there tonight or if they have a policy regarding broadcasting sporting events?

Im going to presume the televisions behind the bar are decorative only

Had to laugh! Walked past the other place today. They've joined Facebook to get hip and happenin. Might ''Like'' their page just to tell them that I dont.
Hope Mrs R's continues to thrive.
A change of staff at the other place might happen, but I think the fish stinks from the head as they say.

Was wondering about this last night, the receipts say Mrs. Robinsons I'm pretty sure. Its a bit of an odd name for a pub.

Why not drop in and ask?

Loving this pub. Amazing that it took off the way it has. Great mix of clientele too. Service friendly and nice range of beers. That Blue Moon with the orange slice is interesting. Peroni is lovely too.

I was there last night. Loved the bar. Great atmosphere! Very friendly bar staff.

hamstervision

Ditto - was there on Saturday. The place was jammed, really good atmosphere, really friendly (and speedy) bar-service and a decent selection of beers on tap. Unlike a certain other establishment down the road... I'll definitely be going back.
