Evening visit until midnight close followed by un-necessarily aggressive shooing out of customers for no explained reason.

Evening visit until midnight close. Much less hassle to eject evident tonight - much more welcoming and still all just about everyone left "on time".

Evening visit until midnight close. Odd how 150 yards away a pub in Greenwich Market had closed early having had no customers for two hours but this place was thriving.

Evening visit until midnight close with usual drinking up time arguments which totally sour a good beer and friendly staff venue.
