Called in for a lunchtime pint and found the place to be very welcoming. Naturally very busy with people spilling out of the museum but I think the multi-national clientele is a bonus, rather than a negative. The Old Peculiar was on top form and would recommend if you're in the area.

Had lunch and Ales/Ciders here after a trip to the British Museum. Quite surprised by the food, too! we thought the place was gonna be a touristy pastiche due to it's proximity, but NOT. Really good ales on tap, Wife loved her lunch as did I. Our daughter's favorite pub, now.

Not so very long ago the choice here would have made this place a mecca for discerning ale drinkers. It is a testament to how things have improved that this tourist trap (across the road from the British Museum) is consdiered to have a poor selection (albeit six) of ales. It seems odd when one considers the likes of Taylor's Landlord and Doom Bar as bog standard brews but it is what they have now become and their quality has suffered accordingly. I had a very palatable pint of Old Peculiar here though. A guest beer (apart from Adnams) would'nt go astray. Though to be honest at least they sell ale - the location they are in means they could sell rat wee and get away with it.

Quite a nice pub and worth visiting for the interior features. Beer range for seven hand pulls totally unimaginative though: Pride, Old Peculier, Abbot, Youngs, Landlord, etc . Landlord not in bad nick although a top up needed to be requested.

Made my first visit to the Museum Tavern today after hearing many great things about it, so I was surprised and a little disappointed to find it in the hands of Punch Taverns and having been on the receiving end of yet another corporate makeover. Yet even with the pub chain's branding and "marketing collateral" in every available space, and huge laminated A3 menus, wine lists and ketchup bottles on every table, they have not completely knocked the charm out of the place. Far from it in fact - much of the pub's original character still shines through, and its numerous Victorian features make it well worth a visit. Seven real ales available too, including a superb Old Peculier.
