Did not go into the pub proper, but to the downstairs bar. A good atmosphere and a couple of interesting bands playing about half an hour each. An enjoyable night let down by a lack of ales.

Am in pub right now. Ordered some beers they told it was going to me 10 minutes as they were changing the barrel. Half an hour later... Only staying because we are with people and it's a tick.

Large corner pub round the back of Great Portland Street tube Station. Not sure if it’s just a bad photo or they have given it a lick of point since it was taken, as it is a quite shocking purple colour from the outside and from that point of view not very welcoming. But it improves when you move inside and has plenty of comfortable seating and an OK space for standing round the bar.
But the single area inside and high ceiling does make it quite cavernous and when busy, as it was went I popped in early evening, it was like drinking in a noisy barn. So will concur with the comment below that it is not an ideal place for a relaxing beer.
Beer was OK though. Plenty of foreign lagers for those who like that sort of thing and a decent pint of St Austell’s Tribute for me.
Good enough place for a meeting point around the GPS area, but I wouldn’t like to spend an evening here ..
