| I like it. It's central London, so that means the Guinness is lousy, it's chocker with tourists and office workers and it's overpriced. But, hey, it works on other levels: Lovely location, the service isn't too bad and it pulsates with a faint, but definite, air of literary and historical associations. Boswell - 1 Jul 2008 14:12 |
| First night in London and in a pub, entered the famous Museum Tavern hoping to have a good experience. I thought that being recommended in tour guides this would be a nice place. Wrong. Staff were more interested in chatting amongst themselves and could care less that I seemed lost. Went across the street and wandered into The Plough which was not a very good experience (see other review). bluesky12 - 23 Jun 2008 00:44 |
| Saturday afternoon pint after a wander around the museum. Surprisingly quiet considering the location. Lots of good ales to choose from and the bar staff helpful when choosing what to drink. I had a rather nice pint of Doom Bar. CambridgeBlue - 11 Jun 2008 12:49 |
| More typically English than queueing for tea bags in the rain with the vicar discussing rises in the price of houses. I assume this is deliberate with one of the world's greatest scientific institutes just opposite. Whenever I have finished looking at the weirdy-beardy sculptures of ancient Mesopotamia, I pop over for a pint of Theakston's Old Peculiar which they have been pouring here for years. It is, of course, a tourist trap and gets crowded, so I just stay long enough to finish my pint and stare with wonder at my change. A good addition to a Bloomsbury/Holborn crawl.

| I like this pub, Good Ale selection rather than just the usual fixed brewery choice. Bar staff could be a little friendlier. Visited on a saturday evening in December. It was comfortable and not so busy that you had to stand. CambridgeBlue - 3 Dec 2007 11:39 |
