London - Pubs & Bars - Bars - Cocktail Bars
Now this is an unusual place......
As the astute Qypers below have mentioned, Ben Crouch's is named after the infamous graverobber of the 19th century. I'd love to give you more info about Mr. Crouch but Wikipedia has let me down :( I think we'll just have to assume he was a very bad man.
The pub itself is decked out liked a haunted house. Gargoyle's, mad scientists and ghouls make up the majority of the decor. Oh, and when you flush the loo you get a screaming noise or a witches cackle. The staff in here were all dressed in school uniform last night (not really sure why) and the punters were either 1) watching the football 2) Dressed up in goth gear 3) Celebrating someones 30th birthday. 4) Rocking out to Guns n' Roses which was being played on the jukebox (kudos points here).
Beer prices were pretty standard and they had a couple ales on. I haven't tried the food in here but the menu looks very Wetherspoonsish. I won't be rushing back, but they have plenty of seats and a decent quiz machine so i won't completely write it off.
