Whatever you think of Sam Smiths' drinks, you have to admit that their pubs are always friendly and cosy. Except this one, apparently. It would seem that the same deliberately rude bar staff noted by Rich in his 2003 review are still there. The quirky decor does not make up for the fact that it's too big, too crowded, too dirty, and run by people who don't give a crap. I assume they can get away with it because the location ensures that they will always be full with transient customers and never have a need to hang on to regulars.

This pub is always part of a good crawl around the area (Princess Louise, here, The Old Mitre then onto The Jerusalem Tavern in Clerkenwell). Lovely historical pub with lots of different areas with the main bar area having little booths for a quiet(er) chat with friends. Food not too bad and good staff. It's a pity that Sam Smith's only do the one real ale, but the bottled SS's ales are still a cut above and still not too badly priced. Can get a little packed friday evenings when the offices in the area close, but that sometimes only adds to the atmosphere.

A great London location and building, well worth a visit for those visiting the greatest city on earth. However greatly let down by being run by Sam Smiths. Not very clean,tired within,dirty toilets. Just going through the motions of selling beer and not playing up properly the addedbonusof the experience within such a unique building. Strange that the Chandos at St.Martin's lane is always run well,with a higher turn over trade. Is it due to the landlord orarea manager. Best have a look in for the building and history; and save your thirst for the Olde Mitre.

Great Sam Smiths pub well worth a visit, make first after Ye Olde Mitre in Hatton Garden. This historical pub should not be missed. Old Brewery £1.88 a pint in London
