Met up with some friends here a couple of weeks ago. Place isn't that big but has a fair few tables and like most places mid-week it cleared out a bit by 7-8pm.
Tried the Landlord, Tribute and Doonbar, all excellent so never made it round to the guest ales.
Fish and Chips were good, hot and crispy (but could have used a few extra chips to soak up the beer).
Bar staff were efficient and courteous, never waited more than a few mins to be served.
Overall top venue. About 20 mins from Euston right opposite the imposing British Museum.

Hit this place two years ago knowing it had Old Peculier on cask. Immediately met a regular and we have hit if off since.

Made two visits this trip and started off with Old Peculier and closed with Landlord. Patient staff as the lot of us were getting a bit belligerent.

As a tourist, this is a place where I feel like a local as I get to hang around the regulars. While it is across from the British Museum and most of the folks streaming in are from out of town/country, more credit to them for having a great lineup of real ales.

Only disappointment was that it closed up New Year's Day at 6 pm, but we were warned the day before.

I've had a number of pints here and never a bad one - the staff take pride in knowing quality.

Comfortable enough little pub opposite the British Museum. Four real ales on during our visit - Brains Party Popper, Theakston Old Peculier, St Austell Tribute and Greene King Old Speckled Hen. Tourists come in one door and go out the other when there is no food on!

Went in with a pal on a wander on a cold winters day. The pub was warm and welcoming. The beer was served well by friendly staff.

It's a strange building. It's quite snug but it looks like it's all leaning at strange angles.

Could do with a new carpet, but quite a pleasant experience.

Excellent little pub. Went here before a gig at The Fly on new Oxford Street and was exceptionally impressed by their commitment to beer. About 7 ales - I drank the delish Camerons Fireside Ale - and a policy of asking if you'd like a taster. Food looks OK too - saw Fish & Chips and Sausage/mash on the table next door. Not haut cuisine, by the looks, but hot, fresh and (apparently) tasty. Nice pub too - one bar, trad, Victorian. Amazed it's survived as it is.. One piece of advice: don't order the chilli nuts. they're sh*it!
