 OK, better upstairs
 Facilities 0  Bobbins all!
 Ladies  A lovely blonde in a short skirt and a group of asians in likewise which added nicely to the filth factor, OK barmaid.

 

 OVERALL  Wouldn't come back - a non-entity of a pub

 

For our penultimate stop of the evening, we headed to Leicester Square with fairly low hopes of finding a proper pub rather than a bar. Fears were confirmed with the really old fashioned pub name of the "Brewmaster" (surprised it wasn't "Brewmeister") being the only qualifier. Apart from a gorgeous blonde with an ugly bloke (aren't they always) and some filthy asian girls on the pull, there's not much to say about this tourist crap hole. Luckily there are some decent anecdotes from our visit. Firstly, the humiliation which should be piled onto Guest 8 for having a "Speckled hen Top" - we checked the receipt and it was true. Secondly, this was the third pub out of five to have 'dirtyharrys.co.uk' sponsored urinal inserts and Thirdly, Guest 5 was interviewed by French radio for her thoughts on the London victory earlier in the day, resulting in a lot of Marathon Drinkers website advertising as well as the expected ridiculing of the Gallic losers. All together a enjoyable visit, but not because of the "pub", but our own ambience which was heating up nicely after 5 fairly swift pints... time to head to Piccadilly Circus.
