Popular and traditional street corner pub just off Moorgate. The beer range was Bath Gem, Directors, Pedigree, Youngs London Gold and Sharp's Doom Bar on my Thursday visit. The bar was decorated with large flags of World Cup competing nations, something which I found a little unnecessary. There were only 3 tables that I could see, and all seating was on stools. A single TV was showing Sky Sports News. There was a games machine in one corner. The snob screens are a nice feature and I particularly enjoyed the dim lighting which made for a pleasant ambience. All too often, lighting in pubs is far too harsh these days. I'm sure I've visited this pub before at a weekend, as it's one of the very few open outside the working week. I'll probably be back again some time.

Was pleasantly surprised to find an open pub in the city on a Saturday. Popped in for a couple of what turned out to be very well kept pints (Buttcombe and Doombar). I'll definitely be back.

Really nice traditional pub (especially for this area). Relaxed atmosphere. well kept beers and I'll definitely be back when I'm next in the area.

This is a typical example of a small London boozer with an additional bar upstairs that I did not visit. I found the barman to be nice enough and my Guinness was well served. Butcombe, Greene king IPA, Deuchars and Pride were all available during my visit, but the Bombardier was off.

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

Pretty bog-standard side street archetypal City pub close to Liverpool Street Station.

There's a reasonably traditional feel to the place, helped by some reproduction snob screens that divide the floor area up into different areas. There's also an upstairs bar, open at busy times.

My visit was noteworthy only for a distinctly average pint of Deuchars IPA - £ 2.90p - and for being served by a ginger haired barman, who had a somewhat offhand and disinterested manner, even by the standards of London pub staff.

It's in the Spirit Group stable. Other beers on were Pride, Bombardier and the ubiquitous Greene King IPA.

I've had good reports of this pub from work colleagues, so I'm expecting a much better all round experience if I decide to drop in again
