This has to be one of the most pleasant pubs to visit in the Kings Cross area. Good ale (Bateman's, Courage and Adnams were available last night), pleasant 'local' atmosphere and interesting decor.
Definitely worth a visit.

Got to be the best pub in the Kings Cross area.
Not pretentious, not a gastro-pub/restaurant (thankfully) just a simple local, the sort of place that should be kept.
Food is bring your own, or order deliveries to the pub.
Beers on this evening where 'London Pride' & 'Wadworth’s Henry’s IPA' both in good order, the Deuchers IPA was ready “Just wanted pulling through.”

Erm, my mates seem to love this boozer. Its not a personal favourite because its too small, never enough chairs and even on a cold night, it reaks of BO and body faust. That said, the decor is fab and great range of drinks.

Just remember: Its a resedential area so keep the noise down, yeah?

What a great boozer - truly excellent. The kind of place you, at the same time, want people to use so it doesn't die but also don't want overran with fosters spillers.

2 excellent real ales on, someone had their their meal delivered from a local Thai round the corner, bar billiards, jukey and an open fire. All in the middle of kings x and even more extraordinary just round the corner from the Scotsman!!

Will be back.

I must admit that I wasn't expecting to find a place like this on a side street off the dodgy part of Pentonville Road near Kings Cross station. Inside, a small, old fashioned pub bar with wood everywhere and a friendly atmosphere. Nice pint of Brains SA, and they obvouly take a genuine interest in their beer here. Bar billiards table too.
