This is most definitely a post work joint, catering for all the poor souls stuck working 9 – 5 in Surrey Street, hence the name. As such, it makes a great first port of call if you’re dying for a pint, otherwise avoid until later in the evening, when the crowd changes and things get a bit more relaxed. Steep prices mean that its usually not packed, unless you’re around anytime between 5 and 7 in the evening. Avoid at all costs on Fridays unless you enjoy waiting 20 minutes to catch a glimpse of the bar.
