There are things I love about this place, and things I hate.
To save the best for last, let's start with the things I hate:
- It's usually too crowded for comfort
- The people in the place sometimes seem rude and a little edgy
- Unless you're drinking the special, drinks can be pricey
- It's always too dark, even at 4pm
- The music is too loud to have an intimate conversation (and I'm no grandma!)
- Instead of the expected trendy people, it's full of yuppies and hosers.
Okay, now the things I love:
- The service is fast and attentive
- The workers are nice and can tolerate the rowdy crowd
- The specials are wicked
- Even though the music is loud, it's usually good stuff
- Those yuppies are quick to buy random ladies drinks ;)
- They have a whole wall of windows which open onto Kensington Road!
So, there are equal good and bad things about this Yardhouse. I still enjoy the occasional drink here. It's usually a pretty good time.
