We went several times during our stay and had great conversations with others at the bar (Danny was awesome to talk to). One might be concerned about the walk or the neighborhood but the taxi ride is 5 pounds...worth the trip. I enjoyed the John Smith Ale (see picture above)....this is a real London pub, not like those in the restaurants and hotels near the Excel Center.....also and equally important...the prices are very, very good.

Whilst Scenario in Dalston is focused on console gaming (Wii U, SNES and others), Secret Weapon are focusing on PC gaming similar to Meltdown and as such have several PCs for people to try out. The drinks on tap are a bit more like a typical pub fare in that there is Carling, Guinness and Budvar (Czech) and several others; but their bottle and can range is more vibrant from several breweries such as Flying Dog and Monteiths, In addition they have the same gaming cocktails that their Dalston bar are known for so it adds to the gaming vibe. The pub itself is largely intact from it's previous form in that it has kept more of the old school decor around. It has only one floor, but there is a beer garden out the back so you can get some fresh air in between gaming or watching some people play games.

Yesterday evening I had a double dinner date with my fella and friends and we were looking at…read morehaving a pub dinner as they tend to be more reasonably priced than other restaurants. Expecting to come here and find your usual pub which serves cheap and cheerful food, I was surprised to find a very well presented, almost posh looking pub with a huge beer garden, medium sized pond which is home to some ducks and inside was just as good. The interior of the pub is quite charming with the wooden beams exposed and the place felt cosy and warm. It isn't huge on the inside but felt that it was laid out well and wasn't over-crowded and it's nice that the furnishings are quite modern. I had difficulty deciding what to have from the menu, although there isn't a great deal of choice on it, what was there sounded nice. I settled with calamari for starters as it's one of my favourites and chicken skewers for the main course. Calamari was okay, it wasn't the best I've had. I felt that the pieces were a bit small and there wasn't many pieces. My fella had the hot wings for starters but said that they weren't hot at all and didn't live up to the name or expectations, if anything, he said that they may have been a bit overcooked. My chicken skewers, on the other hand, were delicious! The main courses all came out big and thus, made up for the tiny portions for our starters. The chicken, courgette and peppers were cooked perfectly but I don't remember there being courgette mentioned on the menu when I ordered it, I think it was supposed to be onions instead. It doesn't really matter to me as I like both. On the side was some coleslaw and sweet chilli dip. It come with a lot of chips and pita bread. Needless to say, it was far too much and even though I was stuffed I just wanted to carry on eating because it was so nice. Two others on the table had the lamb shank and said that it tasted amazing, the other person had the fillet of steak and chips but everyone liked their mains and commented that they were presented well too. For dessert, I ordered the creme brulee which came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and red berry compote and can't grumble at all, it was decent. Two others had dessert and said that the dessert tasted good but they could have done with having a bit more of it as the portion came up quite small. The waitress was friendly and the place wasn't loud, so it was a relaxed atmosphere. Cocktails were also yummy and fairly cheap too! I got two of the strawberry daiquiri's (which I can never properly pronounce). They went down far too smoothly and easily and actually tasted more like those Munch Bunch drinky yoghurts. Overall, a good experience and would like to come here on a warm sunny day to enjoy the garden.
