Good boozer and good service with a proper pub feel to it. Should get in early (before 5pm) during December as the place gets very busy very quickly with the office crowd and Christmas parties.

Absolutley cracking. Lovely pub in the issue of the west end. Joe the manager was lovely and welcoming and looked after our whole group. Spotted the casts of west end shows raising a glass or two there too. A cracking night.

Food had a bit of a school dinners vibe, pleasant enough, edible but wouldn't win any awards for taste or quality. Limited choice of pubs in the area. I'd say alcoholic drinks choice was limited. Service nothing special. Music on a Saturday 27th Nov was simply awful, lady on the mic just screeching. Not subjective taste in music, it was awful. Speed at which people left was phenomenal. Overall just OK.

I was there for live music, I can not say they have amazing performance area but it was good for amateur music bands. Owners are really good guys. Thanks for the nice pub guys.

We had a masonic white table there and i must admit we should have gone to McDonalds the meal 35 pounds per head that does not include coffee that's another 11 pounds . they state there was food shortage .
the manger drinking at the bar all night ! informed him about the meal that its was not up to standard . his reply i don't care !
so if you are have a lodge dinner be avoid no bread a slice of pate ,2 sausages and mashed potato , and yogurt in pot , no bread , orders was mixed up , so any body in queens street lodge avoid and we will never go there for a drink again They must be mad to up set
