OMG....the barmen are 3 of the hottest in London...if your single get down there soon as possible and check these 3 young stallions out.

My best memory from our trip to London 19-23 dec 2007 is from Mac Glynns, both lunch and evening beer was exelent. Many thanks from 7 persons from Sweden
|
It's a very welcoming pub for a stray visitor.
We seven Swedes felt at home right after walking through the doors and when we got our food the feeling of homeliness grew even stronger.
The only thing really differing it from home is the variety of drinks. I for instance just have 3-4 sorts of beer at home. That and the fact that I didn't have to to any washing up after dinner.

Back again at this great pub and just as my last visit a great welcome, very impressive new french staff and a lovely new carpet. Gerry was the perfect host as always, and very pleased to see Jessy is still cooking great food,chicken curry,chips & rice plenty full for a great price of 5.00 ponds.

Search this place out if you have some time to spare when waiting for a train at Kings Cross or St Pancras. Unusually for an Irish pub, it does serve real ale.
|
Friendly pub with great food at low prices, Great service from most staff, one rather dodgy annoying bar man, tall dude with dark hair and attitude.

This is now my pub of choice when I've time before my train. Well kept Courage (ie Charlie Wells) Best and Directors, and it does food, although I never tried any.
|
this pub is ok but it needs new carpet and some females
|
This is a hidden gem in what is a rough and ready area in all respects - pubs included. Tucked away in a back street, this has all the advantages of a friendly 'local' boozer which belie its central London location. A great homely feeling - not posh, polished or classy, but down to earth and honest and a welcome change from the clone pubs you find in London, packed with suits and with prices inflated. Enjoyable venue.
|
Nice pub, though bit smokey for me (roll on the ban!!)
Beer wasn't brilliant but at least they did have some proper beer, which is unusual for an Irish pub.
|
A good place to unwind on a friday evening after work.
The beer is smooth and it goes down well. Sound Pub.
|
an absolute sensational public house!! Words fail to describe how good this pub really is.
If you like ale .... this is the pub for you!
If you like quiche .... this is the pub for you!
If you like majestic packing horses with cart as part of the decor .... then this is certainly the pub for you!!!!
Visiting this pub changed my perception on pubs and life in general and I have grown as a human being by experincing 1 hour of my life inside this establishment, which I only stumbled across due to fait and instinct!
|
If anyone seriously thinks this is the best pub ever, they need to get out more. Prices are reasonable, but the beer wasn't great. Nothing special
|
A wonderfull pub. Simply the best i have ever visited. During our stay, we sat there three days in a row drinking Guiness and whiskey; but also Strongbow and Pedigree(which tastes the same as a norwegian dogfood brand with the same name.) But anyway, it was superb there. The atmosphere, the mood and the people working there was great! Especialy the landlord, a cool spoonplaying chap. Keep up the good music (you know what we mean, the folk-stuf!) Or else, Eivind would be disapointed, and we would have to visit again.
Ps.
The only reason that it did not get the best rating, was that they also played pop-music. (Which doesn't belong in a pub like McGlynns)
Fair greetings and best wishes from your norwegian friends, the boys from Honefoss(Henfalls)!!!

Imagine standing behind your bar when Harry Potter ,Hagrid ,Ron ,Hermione & a couple of other wizards turn up at your bar ,Gerry laughed took our order for 6 butter beers ,served them at our table & has been doing so ever since .
I have tried the other pubs in the area (sorry Mick n Marion )but this is the pub I feel most welcome in .If I go out of the square mile I always head back to here ,a lot of people think its my second home (Its not, he wont let me sleep there)
Cant wait to go to the US to meet the friends we met in the pub who have invited us to stay
This is definatly the place to go if u want to feel welcome & u want some home cooked food (I always bring my family here)

This is, by far, the best pub I've ever been to. I loved it there, and the landlord is also a very cool guy. I was in London with my english class and we went to McGlynns every evening. Shame we had to leave so soon though, but I'll definitely come back! Another thing: their irish coffee is extremely good! I'm already looking forward to the next time I go to Londonm, even though I just came home.
This place is absolutely recommended!
|
Good pub with a bit more heart to it than Chads down the road. Good beer and a place to relax away from the Euston Road and Kings Cross. No rip off prices either.
|
Lots of shamrocks and stuff knocking about.Only realised (after getting my Guinness)that no one else was drinking it-not a good sign for an 'Irish' pub. Looks just like any other back street boozer to me.
|
Proper boozer, mainly blokes, but didn't feel uncomfortable being one of very few women in there. Great Courage best and excellent pub grub. Couldn't believe I got change for a fiver for 2 beers and pie and chips for under a fiver - bargain!

After over two years of not seeing my little brother, I was less than impressed by the neighbourhood I was walking through to see him again.
A busy train station, construction and drab B&Bs, with uniform front entrances and not in the least warm or welcoming.
Then I turned the corner on to Whidborne St. and there was this light on the corner, warm and friendly. Like an inviting oasis in the middle of a dark neighbourhood, McGlynn's is everything you would want from a local pub.
I'm glad I came to meet Gerry and the rest of the gang. I know my brother is in good hands.
(even if he does occasionally need to see the "Dolan fighting stance"!!)

if unfortunate enough to be stranded in King's Cross, this is the place to flee for and take refuge.
|
Lovely pub -Gerry and the gang are tops, well worth a visit !!

I enjoyed my visit here. It is a slightly unusual place but all the better because of this. The beer was good even though I am not a great fan of Courage Best.There is a nice welcome and a good selection of 'real' people (if you understand my meaning)
Good to see that the gents is handy for the bar & the ladies have to trek down the stairs;makes a change

Well what can one say about McGlynns its got to be the best Pub in Kings cross if not London. Gerry & his team are the best, Jessy is a fantastic cook and the portions are great too. We hate going out of the square mile as we get withdrawal symptoms fom our fantastic local.
|
The best pub in the area, you meet the nicest people of kings cross, london and england (because of the builders) in this place!!
|
I visited this pub while on vacation in London from the United States during the beginning of November. This is the best pub I encountered while visiting in London. The food was served in a separate room in the back and it was excellent and plentiful. There is a good selection of beer. The staff was attentive and courteous. There was one girl from the Ukraine and one from Poland and they were hard workers. The customers were friendly. I will return to this pub.
|
I cannot believe the rating by Mike. I visited this pub several times for wonderful food, excellent ale and great conversation. I will go out of my way while visiting London to enjoy this pub. The staff were attentive and excellent, especially Oksana. The cusomers were hospitable and met one feel at home. This is the best pub in London in my opinion!

Best pub food I have ever tasted. Chicken curry is top of the list and is served with Rice Or Chips @ £4.75 is unpassible.
Just over from Canada and know Erish pubs this one is an exception.

I can't believe the comments by Mike. The Pub is the best kept secret in the Cross. The food is excellent, the beer is first class and the pub has a friendly atmosphere. In my opinion as a someone who has lived in and around Kings Cross all my life it is the ONLY pub worth visiting in the Cross.
Jason - 17 Aug 2004 18:43 |
Everyone else must be having a laugh with this dump. It is without doubt the worst pub I have every been to. The burger and chips, me and my american buddy had was rancidious. It wreaked of fried grease, every glass was covered in lipstick.

Anna is the Swedish barmaid and she is gorgeous, well worth going to visit, not to mention the curly haired Kiwi vixen, oooh behave!
Anon - 14 Jun 2004 13:08 |
It's a great place. Everytime we're in London, we simply must pop round for at least a pint. Food is good, plenty and cheap. nice Swedish barmaid.

Went there last night. great pre-gig pub if you're going to Scala and don't want to surrounded by trendies. friendly staff and the food was great - loads of it and cheap.

Friendly people, excellent food, friendly helpful staff. Good place to go for a Gunness and a Paddy's, and a steak and kidney pie!

Wonderful pub, welcoming owner Jerry is helpful and kind to travellers, as well as taking care of the locals with free food on the holidays. Patrons will chat with you and make you feel welcome. Best food in the area, home cooked, and cheap Sunday noon meal that is to die for.
