Bobstercat's Qype profile

Traditional, smallish London pub in an area of Belgravia that seems pretty quiet. Lots of Bentleys with personalised number plates around. Lunchtime clientele reflects this – punters talking with educated rather than estuary accents!

Highly impressive new style Currys megastore. Loads of electrical and tech goodies to oggle over!

Gotta be the slowest post office in the world.
14 people in the queue, 1 till working.
20 mins to send one parcel.
Great.

A classic tapas bar and restaurant.
The Argentinian beef really is something else.
I have never had a steak so good, twice from the same restaurant. Great price too.

I blow hot and cold over the Old Barge.
In theory when you look at the location alone it should be 5 stars.
But there is something about it that brings it down. Yes, there's lots of beer and real ale on tap as described by others below. Yes, it's next to the river in hertford.
But it's a weird shape, long and thin. In the evenings you walk in and it feels packed - get halfway to the back and it feels empty.
On hot summer afternoons when it should be at it's best it can be like a kids playground outside - toddlers and teenagers showing off their acne covered skinny muscle-less frames.
Hmmmmm....... So 5 stars for location, real ale etc but the other things bring it down to a 3.

The busiest petrol station for miles around.
But it's not only that - it's a great little corner shop too.
Fags, sweets, tea, coffee, milk, bread, papers, bog roll, kitchen roll, washing up liquid, greeting cards for when you've forgotten a birthday and are on the way to the party...... It's a life saver at times. And the staff are really friendly too.

A pukka back street locals only type of place.
If you want atmosphere, ambience and a roaring social scene - you ain't gonna find it in here.
