Reasonable Sam Smiths pub let down solely by the absence of any real ale, which means I won't be rushing back

comfortable surroundings; cosy in the winter with roaring fires; very friendly staff and management
|
A surprisingly good pub for this part of London. Good value Thai food. But why is there no properly served real ale?
|
Looks like it could be an old hotel. Now a Sam Smith’s house that seems to promote organic beer and cider fairly heavily. No cask OBB but the Extra Stout was on good form. The food is Thai like so many pubs these days. The building is nice looking with plenty of stained glass, ornate mirrors, wood panelling and old prints. Upstairs lounge, beer garden and tables out on the main road. Mainly old locals who seem to tolerate the newly moneyed Maida Vale/St John’s Wood crowd.

Had a pint love Sam Smith's Old Brewery Bittery (delicious) during a rain break at cricket. Top stuff and pub seemed perfectly fine. From experience, though, the Sam Smith's lagers are evil.

I stopped in here today as a place to pass time. Essentially it's an old-school boozer in a fairly poncey area. Sam Smith's ale (take it or leave it) and betting slips on top of the bar - plus a roaring fire (probably for the used slips). Mid-afternoon was populated by handful of older locals. The kind of pub you don't imagine lasting too much longer round St. John's Wood/Maida Vale.

full of potential & full of wrongens.
|
its alright in here if you can stomach the Sam Smith Shit,..has a billiard table and seats outside (front and back)
|
Nice traditionally furnished Sam Smiths pub - a welcome pub in a poor area ( now that Crockers Folly is sadly closed - allegedly for good )
Nothing exceptional - just cheap beer and a proper pub atmosphere
Note for real ale fans - The Sam Smiths is not served by handpump
|
this is a good pub with nice selections of bitters and home made cider. there is also a dart board. the atmosphere is not the most incredible i have ever witnessed, but nonetheless a decent pub

One of the friendliest pubs in the city...not to mention a pint of Old Brewery Bitter for about as cheap as you can get!

Sam Smith's pub, nice traditional interior. Pub has a billiards table and a nice fire in the winter with amazing tiles!
