The pub opposite the football ground. Friendly, helpful, and efficient staff. Decent pint of Guinness.

Friendly, good value pub. Right next to the Watford FC ground and a popular place for Watford fans to have a post-match celebration. Often has really good live music on match day...

A nice pub that, after going through several owners, has started to really pick up. It is family friendly, and offers a nice selection of lagers, but no draught ales. Food is always good and nicely priced. Since it reopened the kitchen has closed and its opening hours have been cut, turning what had been a promising pub into an empty shell. Salsa evenings and match days are what keep it from going under.

A little Gem of a place. Don't let the exterior fool you. This place has a really nice beer garden also, the staff are really friendly in this place, and the music not to load. We didn't have any food so unable to comment on that but for a nice drink I recommend this place. I would avoid on match day! The last time I went they were still not accepting card payment which is really annoying. They did have a cash machine but this was Not free to use. Please allow card payments! :-)

This place has surprisingly great food (not just basic 'pub' food) lovely staff and a calm, inviting atmosphere. I live just down the street and unfortunately did not realise what a gem this was until a recent unplanned visit, despite having walked past it a million times. Now that we know what a great spot this is, we'll definitely be returning frequently! The bruschetta was incredible!
