if you want a busy pub with decent looking waitresses then go to the fox and hounds, or on the rocks. the firkin used to be awsome but has greatly greatly steadily gone down hill since it was sold about 5-6 years ago. the guy who used to own it owns the fox. its fffing busy there though, so if you want a bit of a smaller crowd go to the firkin. but still get there kind of early if you expect a seat during a hockey game.
Fox and hounds! enough drinks and their all foxes too!
