| Visited on 21 Jan. Greene King pub serving IPA, Abbot and Hen but also guests which were York Terrier and Springhead Robin Hood. Small pub packed on a Friday night. Not bad for a GK pub. GuideDogSaint - 10 Mar 2011 23:05 |
| Was very pleased to return to this old haunt (I worked in Red Lion Square many moons ago) after failing to find a pub in High Holborn that was both open after 11pm on a Friday evening and also looked as though normal people went to it. The atmosphere was lively without being too boisterous, the choice and quality of the beers was excellent and the bar staff were helpful and engaging. A great pub. Matthew_of_Ham - 6 Dec 2009 16:49 |
| This looks like a Victorian era pub, but now stripped out with little or no original features left. The bar back looks old, but nobody behind the bar knew anything about it. It’s a Greene King house, with the usual ales on of course, but they also had Bath Brewery Gem, which was excellent. Not cheap at £3.30 a pint, but I would rather pay this for an excellent pint rather than 50p less for an average pint. It’s bare-boarded downstairs, with no seating other than stools beside ledges round the sides of the pub. They advertised table seating upstairs, but I did not venture there. It’s a fair enough pub for a swift pint or two, especially if they have guest ales of the standard of Bath’s Gem, but not somewhere that I should want to spend an evening.
