The Garrick Arms

Sitting next to the Garrick theatre, the Garrick arms is a large wide pub with a sea of wooden furniture inside. The main room feels quite hall-like due to the high ceiling an elaborate light fixture. The inhabitants are mainly tourist types who fancy exploring the inside of a rather modernised and sadly not at all traditional public house. The toilets downstairs are a bit of a shambles have likely spent their days being abused by the drunk and homeless. The service is also relatively slow and the prices a little on the steep side to reflect the tourist trap of an area that this is.

Overall not an establishment I would choose to frequent but seating is quite widely available if required by a small group, say from different shores 4/10

    I visited this pub recently with my girlfriend. We ordered our drinks and quickly popped out for a ciggarette. Both drinks had barely been touched. On our return they were missing and a member of staff had taken them away. after speaking to a member of staff I was asked to speak to the manager who was outside having a ciggarette. A small balding guy. He told me that because we had left our drinks unattended he basically wasn’t going to do anything about it. I pointed out that if I had left a complete meal in a restuarant to pop out for a ciggarette it wouldn’t be missing be he was intransigent and didn’t seem to care. Although the pub is nice the manager seems be a small man with a napoleon complex, as a result I would not recommend this place.
