Revisited this pub the other day when I had a couple of hours to spare on a Friday night before getting a train. Overall I'd say it had improved. Strangely the selection of ales seemed to have declined - Flowers, IPA and one other...Pride? However, for a busy Friday the service was decent, prices were fine and it was nicely done up inside. Not a bad place for whiling away time in the area.

I’ve never really got on with this place, perhaps because I have tended to visit on my own and it has generally been packed with large groups and it’s been difficult to find somewhere to stand and have a pint. Decided to give it another go on a recent Monday evening only to find it almost empty. There was an amusing little scene as I arrived and one of the waiting staff leapt to their feet and urged me to take a table. I was able to convince them that I was fully able to carry a pint glass myself and I suspect they realised that I was unlikely to leave a tip anyway. Nice laid back atmosphere when it’s quiet but I imagine it can get quite hectic on a Thursday or Friday night. Four hand pumps, the Landlord I has was OK and reasonably priced at £2.80.

Decent enough pub near Euston station. The Thai food is sensibly priced and nothing to complain about (if also nothing to write home about). It is quite dimly lit, and the music is slightly louder than I would have preferred - both times I've been here, the music has interfered with conversation. Beers on last night included Black Sheep and Landlord. They're still doing table service.

It's a grate place, certainly the best boozer in Euston. Nice choise of beers and wines plus table service! I ve heard they want to build something outside for smokers- that's even better :D

This a nice wee place. Interesting interior, lots of seating outside and table service, so you never have to leave your seat - which is a good thing, otherwise you might miss one of the frequent twitching and gurning nut-jobs walking past. Hours of fun.

Standard selection of booze, pulls a nice pint of the black stuff though.

Best pub this side of Euston.

Popped in for a pint last night, fist visit for over 10 years. Good beer & excellent service

Great place!!! Very kind staff, TABLE SERVICE... Food very good but could change menu from time to time. Apart from that fantastic place for a nice evening with your mates, specially when football is on :)

Only been here the once on the strength of another pub site recommendation but it hardly blew me away. I guess you can sit outside on a sunny day but you'll have to put up with the Eversholt Road traffic. Big screen inside but the picture wasn't that great - maybe I was just unlucky?

Good range of beers mind hence the reason for its popularity. Having a reason to visit this place really depends how much you're into real ale.

To get there from the station you'll have to run the full gamut of Euston seediness.

It's an unassuming pub that's really pretty nice, and has decent beer and food. It's handy for lunch but can get full. It looks pretty shabby from the outside, but don't let that put you off. It's lengths ahead of any of the other local pubs, and is the obvious choice if you need to meet near Euston station.

Look out for the peculiar paintings on the wall. They are for sale, but regrettably no-one has bought any...

Nice pub, with very helpful staff. Thai food seemed popular. Though near the station, not the first pub you come to, so will generally avoid the chavvy lush crew and suits. If meeting people in Euston, could do much worse than this one.

Service was very good here last night - pleasant staff serving direct to the table which was useful with the football on. And then to top it all they went out to the local shop for cigarettes for us too.

An odd pub this one.......I spent the day in here after the 07th of July terrorist attacks and have got a soft spot for the pub now.

It is an odd clientle, sometimes just a few old men and other times rammed with suits. They seem to lack a bit of atmosphere as they count on office trade Mon-Fri and then close Saturday for private parties. Not eaten yet but mates have enjoyed it.

Odd music policy?!?!?

Good beer, friendly and efficient service, decently priced Thai food - all in all a result.

Glad to see this pub has improved. I used to drink here when I first moved to Camden and it was lovely. But it went way down hill a few years ago. Sounds like its worth checking out again.

I had to meet someone near Euston so used Beerintheevening for a recommendation and this one came up.

I generally had low expectations of a pub opposite the station but I was so pleasantly surprised. On the face of it, it is just a traditional boozer with slightly shabby decor. The difference was the way we were treated - the staff were lovely and bought drinks to our table. The beer was well kept and they had a selection of great ales (Flowers, Pride, Greene King). The food was the standard pub thai stuff, very pleasant and again nicely served.

The place was nicely full on a Tuesday and the local ladies darts team was even playing. This is a prime example of a good old fashioned boozer that just offers that little bit extra.

Really welcoming friendly pub. Table service and excellent, authentic Thai food. One of the few pubs in the area where I, as a woman, feel comfortable turning up by myself.

A great traditional pub tastefully decorated, with friendly staff offering table service, delicious food, and good beer. The music adds to the warm feel of the pub. Drop in, you won't be disappointed!

another great london boozer with good ale and decent tucker. quite a few pubs in this area make for a fair pub crawl before staggering to the station 4 the train home

Friendly staff, warm welcome without being intrusive. Comfortable surroundings with nice artwork, which is all for sale as an interesting diversion. Beautiful food which is ordered at and delivered to your table along with your drinks. Altogether a very nice experience.

Proper old London boozer. None of your theme pub pretensions here, just wood panelling, warm and friendly bar staff, fantastically well kept beer, a large selection of fine wines and spirits and great Thai food. Music was pretty good too!
Simon - 7 Mar 2004 22:26
Finally, a pub that does table service! Good music and nice vibe. Stayed all night.

Excellent thai food. Good music & friendly staff. Worth a visit
