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.
