| Good little boozer, eight handpumps with the ony mainstream beer being youngs ordinary, so plenty of interest for the ale enthusiast. Will be back. Picasso09 - 28 Jul 2010 22:27 |
| Further to Dan137's reply, when I first used the Castle in the mid-eighties it was branded as a Taylor Walker pub. On the Furnival Street side it had a beautiful etched window that showed it was originally a Friary Meux pub, sadly this window was destroyed during a refurb in the nineties.

| In answer to pubinspectors question, it's an ex-Ind Coope House. Never been a Youngs house as far as I know. Dan137 - 26 May 2010 23:38 |
| Very traditional single room London corner pub, tucked away just off Holborn, between Chancery Lane and New Fetter Lane. Wooden floors and dark wood throughout. Lovely huge pained windows. £3.50 for a pint of Addlestones Cider, which is around the average price. I liked this pub a lot on first impressions. You could certainly do a lot lot worse in this part of the city. The only problem I can find with this pub, is it's smallness. The seating consists of one high table, with 4 wooden stools. Then there's 4 stools facing a window (a tad too much like McDonalds / Starbucks.) There's also 3 slightly (and quite nicely) partitioned "stools facing windows" sections, opposite the bar. Still, it wasn't too busy during my visit on early Thursday evening. Nice level of music and a decent atmosphere. I certainly wouldn't mind a return visit. Especially since it's part of a very small group of London pubs that sell Addlestones Cider. For any Addlestones fans, the others are The Black Friar (at the amazingly low price of £3.10), The Green Man on Riding House Street and The Hat and Tun. Well, that's the only ones that I have discovered. Please let me know if there are others. Pat_Bateman - 29 Mar 2010 11:10 |
| Called in last friday during a pub crawl. We don't know the history but it looks as though it was once a Youngs pub but it now appears to be a free house. Good selection of real ale and nice staff. Great pub. pubinspectors - 17 Mar 2010 14:12 |
