| They had GKIPA, London Pride and Timothy Taylor Landlord on, as well as a Bulmers Perry and the usual array of lagers on tap. The Pride was OK. They’ve smartened it up a bit since the last time I was in here – gone has the pitted and scruffy black floor covering to be replaced by bare boards. I think that the last time I was in was before the smoking ban so not surprisingly it looks a lot cleaner overall. The clientele seemed to be mainly office workers enjoying food from the Thai menu. There’s a large TV screen on one of the walls, showing the news when I was in, but with the sound muted and with subtitles. Watching the unscrupulous and venal antics of some MPs I had a nasty taste in the mouth, and it was nothing to do with the beer. There was some music playing but it was not loud enough to be a nuisance. The young girls behind the bar were friendly enough, enjoying some friendly banter with a few drinkers at the bar. This bar is somewhat off the beaten track, and is another of those decent but unremarkable pubs that I quite like. In some ways it is better off for being off the main roads from a punter’s point of view, if you’re looking for a less crowded backstreet pub. RexRattus - 15 May 2009 12:10 |
| The Kings Arms is a traditional pub that provides somewhere to run to if you get fed up with the bar/restaurant type places in the local area. It still has some original fixtures and fittings including some attractive etched glass windows. The beer selection is OK and the quality has always been good on my visits. Staff are very customer focussed and happy to chat. Nothing remarkable about the place but just a good honest pub. Millay - 11 Apr 2009 08:13 |
| Pub number eight of a pre xmas crawl. Lacks a bit of charactor but bar staff were friendly and beer was good. Worth a visit. TheHorsesMouth - 5 Mar 2009 12:56 |
| I like this pub. On a quiet backstreet off Grays Inn Road (not sure "Clerkenwell" is an accurate location) but always busy when I've been in. Two or three well-served ales and does decent pork scratchings! grecian - 5 Dec 2008 17:49 |
| We use this for our home darts matches. GK IPA, Broadside and Landlord were available on Thursday, only had the last two which were in good condition. Was pretty busy in here, good atmosphere. GuideDogSaint - 25 Nov 2007 12:13 |
