This is another very attractive Sam Smith’s pub, retaining what looks like all the original Victorian tiling on the exterior. The inside also has that “brown bar” appearance that I find very welcoming and comfortable. But they don’t even have the handpump version of OBB on. So, this is yet another Sam Smith’s pub that is severely diminished, in my opinion, by the absence of anything decent to drink. But if you like the keg version of OBB, or the Sam Smith’s range of lagers, then you will probably regard this as a good pub.

Great little Sam Smiths, perfect for a cheap quite pint even on a friday after work. But as with all sam smiths you'll love it or hate it.

Had a check what all the other Billys were drinking in here-and decided to 'Go Lager'...cheap enough for central London, a bit of a mish mash of people (and a bit of a mish mash of a pub)...O.K. but not an outstanding Sam Smiths pub -of which there are still a few in London.

Sam Smith's pubs, so my usual comment about the quality of beer stands: this is, as Strongers observes, yet another of their pubs with no draught real ale, which is poor. I'm normally pretty taken with the interiors of Sam Smiths pubs, but didn't like this one: whilst unspoilt I found it gloomy and looking a little unloved. I wouldn't return here, and think 6.9 average is on the high side.

As you enter this pub you come to the main bar area which was being managed by a very nice barman. The usual Sam Smiths selection is available and like so many SS pubs there is no hand pump for the OBB. At the rear of the pub there is a smaller room with a dartboard which was being enjoyed by a group of lads which gave this pub a bit of a vibe, which I find unusual for SS. There is a lounge bar upstairs, but as my visit was before 18:00 I was unable to investigate as it was closed.

I wouldn’t go out of my way to drink here again.
