please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Unfortunately this pub is now suffering from its popularity in that some of the staff are getting arrogant. One member of staff interrupted taking a food order to serve others without an apology - won't be back.

I was on a wander looking for a pub and the canopies hanging outside made me initially think this was or had become a bar or restaurant. Spying draught ales through the window I went in.
Glad I did, London Pride (in a pint mug) was better than I'd ever had it. Black Sheep and Young's Bitter also on draught.
Mostly people eating in the nicely lit atmosphere.

Good pub on a street that is mostly known for its Indian restaurants. Black Sheep in handle jugs! Friendly enough place.
|
Visited for lunch after the recent refurbishment. Good pub menu - we had excellent burgers & club sandwiches served with the best chunky chips. The service was very good despite being busy. Beer selection was Black Sheep, Youngs ordinary and London Pride, served in dimple mugs, and an ample selection of lagers. Looks like they've got rid of the TV screens. Last summer a large proportion of the windows opened right back extending the pub to the tables on the pavement - hopefully this will continue in 2008.

If you like M&B's unbranded pubs (which I do), you'll like this place. Beer selection is the same as noted by GuideDogSaint, and typical for M&B. Decent options for food to pick at as a group as well. This place is miles better than The Bree Louise around the corner, which has the atmosphere of a black hole.

What a great pub ... recently had a complete makeover, this is by far the best joint around Euston. Friendly staff, great beers for ale lovers and trendy foreign beer drinkers, and a great range of snacks and food, including fish finger sandwiches! I could happily spend all my day in this place. Can be busy in the evenings, as all great pubs are, but well worth a visit.

Visited here on 4 October. I believe it has been refitted since I was last here. Looks like they have followed the example of the Albany in Great Portland Street as far as te beer goes. Black Sheep Better and GK IPA on draught together with one of the Weston's ciders. Some foreign beers including Star, Erdinger, Budvar Dark and Apple Bocq. They seemed to have a problem with full measures and worrying when an admittedly inexperienced barman tried to put ice cubes in my Chimay Red. Not bad, could do a lot worse.
|
Probably not fair to say too much as my one & only visit was 3 o'clock Tuesday (pm.) Nicely air conditioned, strongbow wasn't as cold as it could be. Empty as it was it looked soulless, but judging by the other reviews that could be a time of day thing.
|
Yeah - I like it. Always busy, seating outside - Staropramen on tap. TV screens and, most importantly, brimming with totty when I was there. Alas, instead of the various lovely specimens on show we were forced to share our bench with a hairy faced Little Mo lookalike. Typical
|
nicely tucked away. An oasis in a field of mayhem.
|
nice ale not too expensive, really enjoyed the smoking balcony!
|
Reasonable prices, big plates of food. Staff are okay, customers mainly office bods, probably from the ad agency round the corner. Quitens down about 8 if it's helpful. Good place to have a post-work natter, as I have done on many an occasion.
|
Decent meet up/post drink type of place for the curry houses. Dead, but pleasant enough on a saturday too. Beer cheap, food appetising and good value, no bouncers or loud music , very pretty and friendly bar staff, mainly office workers and no drunks, gypo`s or chavs etc - so gets the thumbs up ere.
|
Way too full of office types, and an area even had a reserved sign on all the tables for a group of them, which is something that plainly should be outlawed in a pub.
I'm guessing it's one of those Barracuda pubs, as it has those generic menus and the same posters advertising 2-for-1 bottled shite and cheap Fosters nonsense. As a result, it's pretty bland and don't expect any surprises.
But on the other hand, the ales are decent and the prices are good, and it's excellent meeting place for all the cracking Drummond St curry houses.

Clean pub, beer fine, I thought the bar staff were very serious (no smiles), and bordering on the rude. It was busy, full of office workers (it was 6:30pm). TOverall not bad but like I say the bar staff need some customer relations training.

A nice bright pub with decent air conditioning makes it an ideal retreat when there's trouble on the trains at Euston. Large open frontage and outside seating in the Summer. Efficient and friendly service.

Great Pub!
Central London and no drunks, bouncers or other unsavoury characters.
Great in the summer as Drummond Street really comes alive

I worked in this pub last year, one of the rooms above(blue and orange) was my own work. Had a lovely time, and found it to be clean, charming and vibrant. Well worth a visit.
