| A nice experience. Superb place if you like buildings with charactar and history. All the glasswork, wood and tiles as I presume it's always been? The Youngs Bitter was OK without going overboard. A bit presumptious, but I enjoyed it. A nice place to read the paper and relax. willesden_seadog - 7 Jan 2010 21:52 |
| Not a bad pub. Beer was good (Youngs bitter and Special, Titanic), surroundings pleasant, clientele mostly 20-40s professionals and got quite full. Food was a bit pricey but not bad. Staff mostly pleasant, although one young barman had a face like thunder every time we spoke to him - a bit of seasonal cheer wouldn't go amiss. As is becoming common in pubs like this, some tables had reserved signs on them, which is an annoyance on a packed evening - what is it, a pub or a restaurant? mafting - 5 Dec 2009 16:16 |
| This is a Young’s pub, with the usual range on, including Kew Gold. I had the latter which is a pretty good pint. The pub itself seemed something of a relaxed haven from the bustle of the Paddington area and the nearby busy Bayswater Rd. Very pleasant sitting outside on a warm August afternoon in good company drinking a refreshing pint of Kew Gold. The pub itself has been completely opened out from its original Victorian multi-room format, but retains some of its original Victorian features - carved wood, and etched and cut glass all over the place. The main entrance seems to be on the corner – but take the time to wander round to what is effectively the side entrance in Craven Terrace to have a butcher’s at the original entrance hall containing an original mosaic floor; tiling, and the doors leading to what were originally the Billiards Room and Ladies’ Room. What would best be described as the main room – the room you find yourself in when walking in the entrance – is a reasonably comfortable functional pub bar, but the room at the back is more sumptuous, with armchairs, portraits on the walls, and has more of the appearance of a gentlemen’s club. Something for everyone then. This pub is worth seeking out if you’re in the general area, and I’ll definitely drop in again if I’m in the area. RexRattus - 8 Aug 2009 10:51 |
| Trequites - why would you want them to rip out original features and replace them with bland modern versions??? I thought the interior of this pub was great and my Bombardier was on fine form. I can't say what it's like in the evening because I only spent an hour or so in there in the afternoon but I'd certainly go back if I was in the area. And it had Erdinger on tap for the wife, which is always a plus. mannyowar - 5 May 2009 11:40 |
| Just a 10 minute walk from Paddington station, you can get an excellent pint of Special at the Mitre. They also had Ordinary and I think Deuchars and Bombardier as well if they take your fancy. They had some nice looking snacks, too, although we were only there for the beer. The pub is a bit odd - they've left a lot of the original internal doors and some of them don't open. It would have been nice if they'd improved on the Victorian toilets and brought them up to 21st Century standards as well. Just two very intimate urinals and one sitty-down jobby is a bit antiquated (two in the lady's, I am told) for such a large pub. But it's still a very nice place to have a pint or two while waiting for your train back to civilization. Trequites - 5 Apr 2009 18:26 |
