| LOVED IT!!! A little hard to find, but Jerry is amazing, Dave is awesome, the beer is fresh, and the food is tasty. We came from the US and the took us right in. So friendly, so delicious, and overall a great time. I walked out with a smile and a full belly every time. If Im ever in London again, Im going straight to McGlynns. Thanks a bunch guys!! We love Minnesota too! buzzalongs - 20 Jan 2010 18:06 |
| A pub called McGlynns with a bright green exterior and a "Cead Mile Failte" sign over the front door is not normally a pub I would venture into, but, in the light of previous reviews here, I did just that last Saturday lunchtime. The pub is situated in a quiet residential side street on the south side of Kings Cross, just off the notorious Argyle Square. Outside, another sign says " A warm welcome in traditional surroundings awaits you". Whilst the surroundings are traditional, the alleged "warm welcome" needs working on as the welcome I received was distinctly muted. It's a slightly old fashioned unpretentious street corner local which, despite the external appearance, appeared to have no real Irish emphasis. The interior is carpeted and comfortable but, apart from some unusually positioned farming implements adorning the walls, there is little of specific note. Seating is of the comfortable banquettes and chairs variety and, in contrast to an earlier poster, I liked the carpet. Unusually, there's a separate restaurant area at the back, but it wasn't open on my visit. At the risk of sounding like one of The Dragons, pub management might want to review opening hours, since 3 separate groups of drinkers came in enquiring about food during the half hour or so of my visit ( they were redirected towards a pub called The Boot, which I'm not familiar with ). 2 of the 3 handpumps were in use during my visit serving Deuchars IPA and Courage Best. Perhaps surprisingly, for a pub where I didn't detect any real ale emphasis or custom, the Deuchars IPA - £ 3.00p - was really quite good. If you fancy a quiet pint in traditional surroundings away from the hustle and bustle of the main line stations, you might want to seek this one out JohnBonser - 24 Dec 2009 09:50 |
| The area immediately around this pub looks almost like a village - very C19. It's a really obscure little corner, the pub invisible until you get very close. First time I went here, on a summer's afternoon, some women were peeling potatoes in the dining room. All very rustic. This time, on a winter's night fast approiaching Christmas the place was dominated by a very loud TV in the corner, even though none of the customers were watching it. We asked them if they could turn it off or turn it down, but we were told it was needed as background noise otherwise there would be 'silence'! Doubt it - the place was full and everybody was chattering. The carpet's horiffic, the barmaid could have done with being a bit more cheery and alert and the the whole place looks pretty grubby but... I still like it. Very old school and they look like they serve 'good honest' food as well - and at cheap prices. Greshon - 10 Dec 2009 15:09 |
| Ordinary kind of street corner local. A bit of a quiet haven from the bustle of the Euston Road. The ale (Deuchars IPA) was garbage though, had to switch to lager.. would have moved on had I not been in company. Snarling_Mallard - 16 Nov 2009 20:42 |
| Unpretentious, traditional pub, serving good ale. Nice to sit outside - it's on a peaceful street with no through traffic. One of the best in the area, and I've been to them all. Disley - 2 Aug 2009 00:15 |
