Walkabout - Watford

Ah, Walkabout Watford, what a gem for us pub enthusiasts! I've got to say, it's one of those places that really nails the fun side of things – picture yourself sinking into a comfy spot with a cold pint in hand, surrounded by huge screens showing all the live sports you could wish for, from the footie to rugby. The staff are an absolute delight; they've got that knack for making you feel right at home, like Harry who sorted out a table for a group during a mad-busy UCL final, or Maya who's always on point with recommendations and a friendly chat. The food's a winner too – those burgers and wings hit the spot, and the deals like bottomless brunch add a bit of extra cheer to your visit. Plus, with events like karaoke and it turning into a buzzing club at the weekends, there's always something to get excited about, and the beer garden is just the ticket on a nice day. But, let's keep it real, it does get packed to the rafters during peak times, which can make it a challenge to nab a seat or avoid a queue, and once food service ends at 9 PM, you're left with just drinks if you're staying late. Overall, though, it's a solid choice for a good time out – I'd pop in again in a heartbeat for the laughs and the sport, as long as I plan around the crowds!
