Went for a late night drink after the theatre. Atmosphere good as ever but spoilt by the miserable bar man who didnt seem to want to be there. Not used to having my pint pushed towards me (and not in its signature glass). But hey ho he might have had a bad day so it won't put me or my wife (who really likes the place but never has to buy the drinks!) going back again.

This is, of course, a true gem and a wonderful place to see and drink in. However the owners - Sam Smiths - have obviously had to move into the 21st century as they have put their prices up by 70p a pint in the past year!!! It was great having this super pub with beer at £2.02 a pint but sadly economics have caught up with the brewery and they have apparently had two price rises in the past 12 months. Having said that it is still a very reasonable price (£2.72) for central London and is certainly at least £1 cheaper than most pubs (excluding Wetherspoons).
Still worth a visit.

Another great Friday 5-8pm session. Great beer with company from all backgronds. A must to visit when in London, my favourite.

Cracking London boozer near Holborn tube with a mixed clientele. It does get very busy 6 - 8pm and the service can be indifferent at times but the excellent Sam Smith's beer, stout and lager, the sumptuous decor (from 1891 mostly, apparently) and the quaintly compartmented layout more than make up for this. The much vaunted men's urinals are probably now unique but are obviously as impractical to clean as they are to use - they invariably stink. Well worth a visit.

Architecturally splendid with an array of nooks and crannies. Along with beer at £2 and a bit, you can't argue very much. The downers are it gets very crowded (not surprising) and, therefore with the bare furnishing, rather hard to hear yourself think, and also some of the bar staff are a bit slow in serving customers. Worth a visit though.
