Pub 7, Day 2 – The Great Gatsby

By Rob

After a long trek around the outskirts of town, we were almost prepared to admit defeat. Having travelled from Woodhouse into the city centre, we were not pleased about having to potentially go home.

Eventually we stumbled across The Great Gatsby on Division Street, open until the early hours of the morning. One cheeky little pint of Farmers Blonde later and we had ticked off two pubs so far during that session.

The pub was nice enough inside, if not a bit weird. There was a chaise longue, the purpose of which I’ve never really understood, apart from allowing drunk people to lay out in some exaggerated sexual pose, or pretending to be Roman.

As a result of the absolutely classic tunes the DJ was playing, the Great Gatsby gets 5.5/10. It would be 6/10, but the stupid Picasso-style pictures and weird furniture were clearly indicative of somewhere that was trying too hard to be cool…

Pub: The Great Gatsby (73-75 Division Street, S1 4GE)
Rating: 5.5/10
