As I walked into this pub some guy that was standing just outside the door told me that I will not…read morefind a pub like this anywhere else. I guess he is a regular because as a regular there is no pub like your local pub - I ought to know, I've had a few myself. Well, even though this is the first and only time I have ever been to this pub I must say that I quite liked it. In fact it reminded me of those old pubs back in the day before they commercialised them and turned them into family affairs and gambling dens. Okay, there isn't any beer garden, but the pool table and the old bar with the stools around it make it look like one of those cosy pubs where you could while away your time. Mind you, when I was there it was basically empty, but then again it was the middle of the day and I assume all the regulars were off at work.

Hmm, the lack of reviews for, well, pretty much any pub in Ipswich seems to suggest that this is…read moreone of those places that very few Yelpers travel to (with, maybe, the exception of myself, but then again I do tend to travel here, there, and everywhere). Anyway, this is another pub that I actually don't want to knock except that I feel I have no choice but to namely because the staff really seemed to be incredibly cold and blunt. Maybe it was just me at the time because the pub itself looked pretty nice, and the beer garden was really cool as well, however the staff really sort of did it in for me.

I've only come here for Thursday nights "jam night" because I've heard nothing but awful things…read moreabout what goes on here over weekends. The Metro is a really great, old building with most of character so it's too bad that nothing better has been put in to replace this nightclub with such a bad name for itself. I mean, jam night was OK. I went with a friend because we both know most of the guys and girls that play on this night. The small patio area where it's held is quaint. The crowd was small, but we knew most of them as well. I was very irritated when one of the bartenders ignored me not once, but twice, to serve his already drunk friends before me although I'd be waiting at the bar first. Not sure who the Metro thinks they are selling $8 something drinks but I think a reality check is needed. I'll never come here aside from coming to support friends for jam nights. I've even heard from many people that the taxi drivers will stray tourists away from Metro when they ask for a good place to go out.
