| Not a bad place, IPA was nice but the Abbot was not so good - don't think many were drinking it. Pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. Oolybel - 2 Jun 2008 10:30 |
| Previously swerved this place due to the prominent GK signage but att’d comments persuaded me to pop in yesterday and, in addition to IPA, Abbot & OSH, they also offered Holden’s Golden Glow & HardyHansen’s Olde Trip (albeit the latter is now GK). Nice simple bar area with stools around perimeter to watch the world go by thru large part-stained glass windows. Jazz soundtrack & friendly polite staff. I thought it would be busier at 13:30 so I don’t know whether some occasional drilling work upstairs or the £3.05 price tag on the (just ok) Golden Glow put some punters off. trainman - 1 Feb 2008 10:48 |
| Now, to some people (myself included), the idea of giving a Greene King a half-decent rating is as strange a concept as, say, Bruce Springsteen inviting the Spice Girls up on stage to join the E Street Band for a couple of encores. However, this is a decent pub, serving well-kept beer with 2 or 3 genuine guest ales as well as the usual GK offerings. The interior decor, including the coloured glass windows, is also fairly traditional and restrained (unlike the large neon GK sign despoiling the exterior). Well worth a try if you are in the High Holborn area. rpadam - 15 Jan 2008 23:56 |
| I would agree that this pub is a good traditional boozer, the staff are good the Green King is pretty good as well. Good pub but there are better nearby BenEd - 3 Jan 2008 14:48 |
| Nice traditional boozer in what looks like a Victorian building on High Holborn. They generally have a full range from the Greene King stable and I have always found the beer to be in good condition. Friendly, chatty and English bar staff come as a pleasant surprise. There is no defined seating areas but there are a few bar stools dotted about and there are ledges below the windows, both inside and out I think, so it’s easy to stand, drink and watch the world go by. There is also an upstairs bar for busy times. Good place for a beer if you are on your way between Holborn and Chancery Lane tubes. Millay - 25 Dec 2007 22:57 |
