Pretty unremarkable pub in my opinion. Nothing about it stands out. GKIPA, Pride and Bombardier on. I had the IPA which tasted like GKIPA always does. Expensive at over £3 a pint for a very average beer. Can’t see any reason for a repeat visit.

Proper traditional boozer in an area lacking in such things. Good beer and comfortable. Although the guy the guy behind the bar didn't appreciate me putting Smack My B1tch Up by The Prodigy on the jukebox, and cancelled it half way through, (Shouldn't have it on the jukebox then should he)? Good pub though.

I've been coming here since 2000, first for a proper drink in a proper pub and since 2001 and Liverpools 5-4 triumph, when we re-christened it The Lucky Pub, for major sporting fixtures, where the friendliness, good beer and landlord with an excellent sense of what is needed for a major sporting occasion make this pub my favourite in London!

mediocre ales rather smokey, sports orientated - possibly better alternatives in this locality depending on what your looking for
|
Thank god for this place. The only decent real pub in the area. Friendly staff, good beer, and apparently there's a couple of pool tables upstairs (although I've never got as far as the stairs!). Always manage to somehow get a seat.
Mixed crowd, good atmosphere, defintely recommended.

Fantastic friendly staff, shorts served in iced glasses. One of the last real pubs left in the city that hasn't gone gastro and laminate floor on us. XXXX could do with replacing with Fosters as below, but the place is excellent none the less.
|
Just down the City Road from Old Street roundabout. Decent beer, friendly staff. I count 4 big screens but there are probably more upstairs. Interesting mix of customers, not too crowded, always seems to be seats when I'm there(!) My only gripe was that I can hardly breathe with the thick cigarette smoke. Thank goodness for the two doors! Another one to try.
|
Not too easy to find these days but this is a 'proper pub' in the City. Great barstaff, and the landlord is a top man. Recently added plasma screens so you can see the tv from all parts of the pub.
|
I really like this pub, genuine staff. Great for City people who don't like City pubs!
|
Reasonable in here yeah,..but surely you can do better than XXXX on draught as your weak piss option. (didn't that go out with Eldorado?)....Its gotta be fosters or carling surely!
One fruity

yes it's full of suits but at least it's a real pub, good beer, good service and it's not All Bar One/Pitcher/Wetherspoons.

Really Like this pub. Nice atmosphere, good pub food and has an upstairs room with pool table, tv, small terrace.
Bar staff and landlord v friendly and I hear its now open on Saturdays which is very handy for this area which seems to shut down at weekends. Can't even get a coffee on a saturday never mind a pint so well done to The Angel
