| Normally I would refuse to drink in a pub that displayed a signed photograph of Dennis Bergkamp in his Arse.. kit , but I made an exception for this one as I quite liked the Three Kings and the framed photo fitted in quite well with the rest of the tat hanging from the pub walls. I will also make an exception, as I’m led to believe a previous landlord’s (or could even be the present one’s) old man used to run The Hope and Anchor in Islington in its punk heyday. On this balmy summers evening with all four doors open , The Three Kings was a really good place for a few beers. Lots of people drinking outside and the steps and the St James church steps were fully utilised. And even inside it was airy enough to for a decent al fresco feeling. The three handpumps this evening were TT Landlord, Pride and Deuchars IPA. Unfortunately the Deuchars was off but the Landlord and the pride were in good nick. Yes the décor is quirky and I can appreciate the comments about it being a bit like a student bar, and if you venture up the stairs to the two rooms and associated small kitchen you could well be forgiven in thinking you’d stepped into an 80’s student bedsit.. In conclusion, enjoyed my evening at The Three Kings Gann - 27 Jun 2009 15:18 |
| Loved it. Sat outside last Saturday afternoon supping Aspalls, listening to the excellent music selection and passing the time with the friendly, laid back staff. Original without trying too hard. Gem of a pub. cheekyhalfpinter - 22 Jun 2009 13:38 |
| Popped in a couple of weeks ago as was early to meet a friend round the corner. Fantastic little place with a really great vibe and a cracking pint of Deuchars - one of my favourite ales. Food looked great and not expensive although I didn't eat there. Will definitely be returning. Worth noting also that they don't take cards for all you people that don't carry cash! Staff were very friendly also. The lovely barmaid from Brasil, was happy to promote the party they were holding that night to celebrate the last day of Carnival, but alas I could not return due to a prior engagement.

| The first problem I had with the Three Kings was finding the way in, but once I discovered which of the things that looked like a door really was a door I squeezed past the curtain into a dark and mysterious interior. The random bric a brac distributed around the room looked like something from a child's imagination; in keeping with the hippyish exterior. I was served a very good pint of Landlord by a very pleasant barman and enjoyed the quirky surroundings with some ambient sounds none of which I recognised but which created just the right atmosphere at the right voume. A bit pricey at £3.15 a pint but I've spent more for a lot worse. A really interesting pub in an interesting part of town; very well worth the visit. fitzonthepiss - 9 Mar 2009 16:19 |
| Lovely little pub. It has a nice, unique vibe. The drinks are varied and they even did real cornish cider last summer ... they warned my boyf that it might be too strong for me (sweet!) but he explained that I'm into real cider and therefore have guts of cast iron. The art and decor make it, along with a real variety of customers. A gem. squizita - 21 Feb 2009 17:35 |
