The pub is split into three areas with the furthest area to the right slightly more food dominated, to the left there are are series of booths providing more intimate drinking areas as well as two TVs, on silent mode with either sport or rolling news. In summer, some of the doors/windows open more fully to create a pleasant atmosphere around the tables to the front. There is outside seating on the road all year round, which is well used by smokers. Named after a losing betting ticket and there are many framed prints reflecting the racing link. Also look out for the old photos of Cricklewood.
Beer & Burger Store88 Walm Lane
London
NW2 4QY
Converted to pub use in 1996 as one of McGowan’s Irish bars which installed handpumps to sell real ale, although it did not last. In winter 2016 became the area’s first craft beer bar offering up to 20 keg beers (many from London) and a very large bottled selection, many of which are bottle conditioned. It once stocked a real cider in the form of a bag in the box in the fridge – but that seems to have gone.
