I've never seen so many jackdaws on the roof of one building.  Once inside 
I enjoyed a good pint of Spitfire.  Some kind of beat group were limbering 
up for a gig, the bassist playing the riff to Pink Floyd's `Money'.  There 
is lots of comforting 1930's woodwork, and many pool trophies.  A large 
no-smoking lounge at rear seemed to be derelict (presumably they are all 
enthusiastic smokers in Risinghurst), but all in all, this is a pretty 
good pub.
