you will be hard pressed to find a friendlier publican in the city... Pork Pie Pat and his pork pies are the stuff of legend. However, if u ask nicely, the fish fingers are out of this world...

It has a good regular crowd for a reason... Ollie! www.olpc.ca

Typically traditional City pub within spitting distance of Mansion House tube station ( District Line). Its a Greene King house which many would consider a major drawback, but the IPA yesterday was probably as good a pint of IPA as you would get.
The traditional feel to the front bar is slightly marred by one of these amusement arcade machines that allows you to play mini-golf. Playing the game appears to involve thumping your open palm on a computer screen at regular intervals ( this is presumably akin to hitting the ball with your golf club in real life). I do feel that machines like this are out of place in old traditional pubs like this, particularly small pubs where they can tend to dominate proceedings.
Still, all in all an enjoyable visit. I shall return, but I wont be disappointed if said machine is not there.

This is your typical City real ale boozer, but the beer I had was of very good quality. I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in the area.

A cultural icon, a true drinkin man's pub...taking the wife there on our honeymoon...a failure in judgement of epic proportions....

Great cosy pub in the City. Friendly barstaff and landlord. Say hello to Pat and Pat. Can get mobbed after office hours. If you don't smoke, you might want to avoid the back room. 15 people smoking in an unventilated small room is torturous, even if you smoke. Although the smoke could help you hide from the boss or other half.

A woman in the Hatchet? Shurely shome mishtake?
Good Beer and as the 'Hog says, it's fine for hiding in, no one'll ever find you in here.

Pokey little back street boozer hidden away next to Mansion House tube. Ideal hiding place.
Now run by a Derby and June-type Irish couple.
Decent beer. Pulled a little Latvian cracker in here once, so holds fond memories.

Very dark and dingy, rather smoky and a stunning barmaid… perfect!

A real drinking man's pub. So much so any women one might find inside look like men! Old wooden floorboards and no messing decor make this place one to be avoided for the women and a place of quite solstice for the men! A true man's city drinking hole.
