The card says "known for its unique, warm and friendly atmosphere." I would be more inclined to say "unique, warm, friendly and a bit mouldy smelling atmosphere" but I guess that's what comes with being in the basement. This place, however, is what London is all about - finding a little place you never new existed and then going there any getting very, very drunk. You'll find this place if you look for the strange tree growing out of the basement in Hogarth Place and the sign that says "wine bar." Downstairs, the specialise in Swiss cheese fondue and Polish drinking mead, or so the sign says. I have only, however, part took in red wine and a chunky country pate that was good value and tasty. The lady that runs it is also good value. Every time I looked over at her she had a different coloured drink in her hand. One of the "features" of the restaurant is the windows that open out onto a concrete wall that has been painted to look like a lovely vista of a field of grapes or something equally nice. The toilets are a bit like being in a campa-van. With that, and the tree growing from the small basement entrance you could be forgiven for thinking you were on your holidays in the Med somewhere. Dying to abuse their 12 o'clock closing. Prawn Sag Aloo 9/6/03

"Situated next door to West Kensington tube station, there is nothing famous about this pub. Loud music, boring music videos and head-set wearing bouncers are all really tiresome. The American CIA-style door staff are completely unnecessary in this establishment as there's never more than a handful of punters drinking in it. Those looking for a good night down the pub would be better off drinking indoors than visiting this dire bar. Woeful." Fiona, 13/3/03

"On the corner of Earls Court Road and Brompton Road this pub has pretty much everything. No themes here. Just a large "open-plan" style lounge with restaurant/toilets upstairs. Friday nights in this pub are well worth a visit. Live music, hot food available and decent, friendly service at the bar. Only complaint would be that it closes too early for what's on offer. Good, lively crowd who are usually up dancing by 9.00pm along with the band so it's a shame to be kicked out at 11.00 - just when things are getting really good!" Fiona, 13/3/03
