The Libertine — Restaurant in London

Here for the pub quiz on 23rd Jan with a group of work friends. 2 of my friends and myself have been openly to the whole pub humiliated by the quizmaster (who was already nearly 30mins late) because we were having fun. She had been given us digs and insults the whole time and we did nothing wrong. We were quiet for the questions obviously for respect. Between questions we obviously spoke and laughed. We are actors and have never felt so uncomfortable in a pub quiz setting. Genuinely mortified and upset as I have bad anxiety and I want to leave and the quiz isn’t even halfway done.

Ended up crying in the bathroom over the embarrassment goven from the host. 2 friends complained to which I was given some apology which I took just for the sake that I wanted to leave so badly but didn’t want to offend my friend who organised this night.

Cheers Libertine for...

The bar staff and pizza were great, but the pub quiz host was truly unpleasant. Ive been to over a hundred pub quizzes in my life, and have never come across such a rude, obnoxious, abrasive host. Chatting away with a team that included her friends intermittently, belittling various teams for requesting a question be repeated, not specifying certain answers and then not giving points when wrong or partial answer was given (i.e. One round had a theme which we had to guess, the theme was actors, or acting families, but the only acceptable answer was acting dynasties -.-) Its all supposed to be a bit of fun and games after work, and I found the whole experience very stressful, as did both tables next to me. Suffice it to say, I will not be returning despite it being a nice pub...

Have been here a few times with colleagues for Friday lunches, on every occasion they experience has been lousy, although this place seems to have a loyal following and although my colleagues complain about this that and the other, they keep on going back, so go figure. All I'll say is this... The place smells weird - a kind of bleachy smell, that's not very pleasant while you're eating. If you're ordering food in a large group, they frequently bring the food out at different times, rather than all at once, this means by the time you're ready to pay the bill and get back to work, your colleague is just receiving their main. The meals frequently get sent back to the kitchen because they forgot this or that or because its just not what...
