| Seems to have revived a bit in recent months. The staff were helpful and the food surprisingly good. My pint Pale Rider was fine. But it is clearly a place for rail and beer anoraks. simontheeditor - 29 Jan 2010 13:12 |
| Formerly a free house called The Head of Steam, the Doric Arch is now a Fullers pub situated just outside Euston Station on the edge of the station concourse. It's a split level traditionally furnished pub with, not surprisingly, much railway memorabilia, particularly old station signs. One rather depressing feature of visiting this pub which always sticks in the mind is the need to ask behind the bar for the access code to the downstairs toilets - which I presume is a reflection of the large number of scumbags and druggies in the area. I don't think I've ever been in a pub with this requirement before - and I've drunk in pubs all over the country. It's one of the "benefits" of being in a large international city, I suppose. Sporting events are shown on the TV and the pub is popular with football supporters passing through either from or to a game. Perhaps inevitably, the beer range has been reduced since Fullers acquisition a number of years ago. On my recent Saturday afternoon visit, there were only 2 guests - a rather good TT Landlord and Kelham Island Pale Rider which was past its best. The pub is listed in the 2010 CAMRA GBG. It's convenient for the station and, despite the reduced beer range, I'm inclined to call in again sometime JohnBonser - 24 Dec 2009 08:47 |
| 8/10 Pleased that Fullers have kept guest ales at this pub after taking it over - remains an excellent pub. If only I could work out how to operate the code that opens the door to the toilets.... d'oh! Darren_in_the_City - 11 Dec 2009 10:41 |
| The main thing here is to try and forget this is a station pub on the mezz level of a 60s office block. Having done that the pub itself is quite nice and with 10 pumps enough to give any anorak wearing CAMRA member an extra couple of inhes of beard growth. The 5 at my end of the bar offered Landlord, Centurion Ghost, Pride, Discovery and Kelham Island Brewery Pale Rider. It's still a station pub though and for non-ale buffs like me doesn't really offer much to return to. murgatroyd - 2 Dec 2009 00:50 |
| The so-called review of November 28 (by Union Jak, not the one below it) is racist nonsense and ought to be removed asap. The Doric, previously the Head of Steam is good as far as railway station pubs go, and welcomes everyone, after all they have a business to run. My only gripe is that it has fewer beers to choose from since the change a few years back but still seems to be doing good trade. Phucough - 1 Dec 2009 17:43 |
