Went past at the weekend - and workmen were inside of the pub (which is completly gutted), don't know if carrying out a refurb, or readying it for flats.

Three pumps, usually two on. Formerly the Banker's Draught (previously a Barclay's bank branch), reopened in 2007 with the restoration of real ales after a long absence. One room with long bar at front, dining room at rear specialising in steaks and grills. Outside tables. (see www.thechamberlayne.co.uk).
Pub is closed, notice on door says it is waiting to be converted to a Wm Hill betting shop. Sal's Bar, which was spun-off from here, and was actually joined behind the bar is next door (No 249) and is still open.

This place underwent a comprehensive re-vamp in 2006 and now operates over three floors, with an upstairs restaurant, bar menu downstairs, outside tables/terrace and a market on Sundays. Music nights Thursdays and Sundays. Converted from a grim, 1970s bunker of a pub: now much more welcoming. (see www.islandpubco.com)
This pub has recently been given a beautiful revamp. It has retained lots of the original features and the introduction of atmospheric lighting and chandeliers lend it a look of glamour. The staff are all very friendly. They have two ales on tap, which change constantly, they are pleased with how well they are selling and plan to put on a third line. Bar billiards, darts and pool. See website for details on food menus and serving times.
An open plan conversion with adjacent restaurant room and covered garden at rear. The menu focuses mainly on organic burgers. Real ale has been restored after a long absence. Also serves Hoegaarden on tap and Budvar in bottles.
Sal's Bar is a comfortable pub which covers the essentials well for its older Irish clientele. Racing on the big screen, wall-to-wall Guinness and a friendly atmosphere prevailed. Red Artexed walls and a varnished pine bar (with mounted hurling stick) gives the place the air of a 1970s lounge bar in Offaly. Par for the course in Neasden, then. (with thanks to fancyapint.com)
