Experiences at "Price of Wales" in Little India

[Prince of Wales]

Hi All,

Would be interested to get some feedback on the pub "Prince of Wales" in Little India.
Went there with a bunch of friends for drinks lately. While we found the atmosphere and setting quite pleasant, we were shocked by the unfriendliness of the manager/owner.
The simple and politly addressed questions, if it would be possible to change the channel on the TV, was answered in a very rude and harsh manner.

How were your experiences? Is the manager always so unwelcoming?

Thanks for your replies.

The pool table is the worst you can get in Singapore.

1. no air and proper maintence.

2. non correct number ball... etc. 2 #3 ball, 2 #15 ball and etc.

3. gorund is non level..... no space for proper cueing......

sigh... I also dunno why I pay the $2 to play on the 1st place.... it is pure pain in the neck.

I go there quite a lot and think it's a good bar with a v good atmosphere. I also like the fact that it's got a mixed crowd, ranging from soap dodging student backpacker types (and before I get any hate mail, I've been there done that), local kids interested in the music scene and expats. There is a regular crowd who are all v friendly- ignore the manager, the cr*p tv and dodgy pool table- the crowd makes up for it.

Well,yes, but there are lots of other places in Singapore, where one can enjoy friendly crowds, without having to deal with a unwelcoming/unfriendly manager, cra*p TV and dodgy pool table...
So far, I really cannot see, why one would go there....

Ok, go somewhere else then if it's not your thing!
Personally I think it's one of the more relaxed places in Singapore, is pretty lively and has a good atmosphere. The trade off is that it's not a trendy bar, where everythings perfect.
