Pretty dissapointing pub. Only one if the aforementioned visually impressive ladies on show to boot. Still, she was certainly wise to the ways of good jugs....

Play pool and darts here with London Saints. Normally only either GK IPA or Abbot, sometimes both if you are "lucky". Only real reason to visit is for the visually impressive barmaids.

Classy-looking from the outside, not so classy on the inside, but still a respectable boozer. Unfortunately the only Ale on is Greed King IPA, but at least there are 2 nice pool tables and a dartboard. The one oustanding feature of the pub is the dumb waitor ('Magic beer chute') upstairs in the games room.

Fair do's John Bonser - I meant not a great *immediate* area for pubs, most of the pubs on Fleet Street being pretty average. Of course, there are plenty of great pubs within 10-15 minutes walk of here, but on Fleet Street itself I'd say only the Old Bell deserves particular praise. Recommendations warmly welcomed, though.

"not a great area for pubs" according to Mr Grecian. Hmmmmm.....? I reckon he needs to look a bit harder

Below average. The barmaids are friendly, I agree, and the bar architecture is nice, or at least would be if not for the glass shelves. However, only one real ale on tap is poor, and I didn't feel it was well-served. Also, the layout of the pub is very boring. Not a great area for pubs, but even so there are better local pubs around.

Exclusively female barmaids, who are friendly.
The Australian barmaid (very good looking) gets larger by the day. She must enjoy the pub cuisine, a perk of the job!
Much much better than the dreadful Harrow pub further down the same lane.

never been anywhere so filthy and if it comes to food i'd rather have a big mac meal in mc donalds.
staff might be friendly but don't think they can make up......
wish you good luck!

Friendly and welcoming typical City pub, ( although I 'm sure how many other pubs have an upstairs pool room !). Nice ornate bar back. Well worth visiting if in the area and the more well known pubs ( e g Punch Tavern, Cheshire Cheese, Old Bell ) are too busy. Not too keen on the pub sign outside, is this only temporary and a more traditional permanent one on the way, I wonder ?. Definitely worth a second visit

it isnt thankyou very much whoever posted that comment below. The food is good, makes you feel at home a mixture of people not far from blackfrairs station, cabs around everywhere and also surrounded by shops, the food is lovely and no one ever has had a complaint. so many different people. the reason why its 'full of post room staff from law firms' is because their offices are near and they clearly know a good pub when they see it. clearly this person doesnt have taste. see it for yourself before you judge it by peoples comments

its been painted on the outside and on the inside its looks great! the barmaids there are friendly. there is a room upstairs that has two pool tables in there and a tv. downstairs there is a plasma on the wall. the food served there is good. i heard that they do Pie and Mash which not many pubs do and its is open till late. i go there often it is easy to get to and you always feel welcomed.
