The décor and staff are pleasant enough and there is Kilburn's only beer garden (albeit one overlooking a demolition site and some train tracks), but there is nothing special about this Smith & Jones boozer. On our visit, all of the pint glasses we received we absolutely filthy on the inside (not that it stopped us drinking our pints, it just put us off hanging around for another).

Pub changed manager winter 2006 and had a refurb in March 2007. Since then it has gone from strength to strength! Pulls in a good crowd for the football, live music on Sat nights and also the great DJ Alan every Sunday (can't beat this anywhere in Kilburn - 60s, 70s and 80s music to dance away the end of the weekend!). Food is also good - new menu (decent food and decent portions)and they also do a Sunday Roast! Oh and it has a big beer garden and patio for you smokers out there. And the best bit above all......the drinks are cheaper than what they were before the refurb! Don't hear of that often! When I meet up with the girls we always come here for food and drinks at the weekend - would defo recommend!
only one comment, so far on this pub - why not add your own?
