All other visits I had been impressed by this pub, however, popped in on Saturday night with friends from out of town and they had run out of cask beer - keg only - not impressed.

Met some old chums here as we used to use the dart board here a lot. What a disappointment. The beer (old Brewery) was like vinegar. Sent the first pint back. Bar staff could not have been less interested. "I don't like beer" said the one who seemed to be in charge. Got served from another tap and it was poor but drinkable. What can you do? Vow we'll never return and warn the rest of you likewise. There are plenty of places in the city to get a good pint, The Citie of Yorke isn't one of them.

Popped in as I love Sam's Pale Ale. I think the Manager needs a course in Manners. And I haven't got time to mention how bad the Food was. Pity, it should be a great Pub but with all the choice in the area I won't go back. I think people only go in Sam Smith's Pubs cos they are cheap. Anyone care to tell me what else they have to offer?

While not a huge fan of Sam's beers, I pooped in with my brother for a quick half.

I loved the place. Excellent pleasant staff, incredibly cheap ale - £2.40 or there abouts for half an OBB and a Taddy Lager. OBB was in perfect nick. Just the taste I'm not a massive fan of. A bit sweet for me.

Will certainly show it to my sightseeing friends from away if they visit.

I have visited this gem for many years and it has to be my all time favourite pub in London. I will concur with some of the more recent comments with regard to the atmosphere - it really does need to be half full for the place to really take off. That said, I have yet to experience any grumpiness from the staff. The last time I was in - a Saturday in May 2011 - the staff could not have been more friendly, helpful or genuine. And the beer is incredibly cheap as well as being of a very good quality.
