| Certainly not cheap but a great choice of beers. If you want cheap and cheerful there are plenty of JD's and Sam Smiths in the area. Plenty of character with an authentic continental feel. Badger350 - 29 Jun 2008 16:10 |
| Last night we went to see the game (NL-Italy) at the Lowlander, Covent Garden and I think this is the last time I'm going there. The snacks and platters are incredibly expensive and you get very, very stingy portions (but suppose us Dutchies are known for this). The beer selection is good but be prepared to pay a nearly £5 each. Staff wasn't the friendliest nearly bit rude and constantly asking if you want another drink. If you are looking for a pub with a wide range of beers and great food I can recommend the Dovetail http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/29/2904/Dovetail/Clerkenwell. Zalia - 10 Jun 2008 09:36 |
| Excellent choice of European beer, no British real ale. Service is ok, though fairly slow when busy. Good point is that you don't have to pay for every beer and meal before you receive it, but downside is the size of the bill when you do get it. Very expensive, even for Central London. Also they add 12% "voluntary" gratuity to the total, so beware!! Steve45 - 23 Apr 2008 20:53 |
| Don't bother going unless its to eat AND drink beer. If thats your plan then its well worth a visit as the range is superb and food informal and nice too. But not really a prop up the bar for a quick beer sort of place. BobBoiston - 17 Apr 2008 18:18 |
| This place reminds me of the grande cafe's of Belgium or Paris, so on that front they have done their job, Im sure that there will be people who have spent more time over on the continent who will tell me that Im wrong for such and such a reason, but its well decked out, the atmosphere is lively so its a fun place to go. The list of beers is immense, and it would certainly take more than one visit to try them all, but what is worth a go, if you are unsure, is to get a "plank" of tasters, the staff are very helpful and from my experience know what they are talking about and can give good recommendations. As far as the food goes I have only ever eaten the moule et frites which I cant fault. all in, because of the prices I see this as one of those sorts of places that you go once in a while, for something a bit different. trickydisco - 17 Mar 2008 11:54 |
