Can only agree with the comments that it has something of an identity crisis - food looks good but when the place is swamped with loud parties in a "pub" setting it was time to move elsewhere to eat. The XB was not exactly in sparkling form, either...

This is a restaurant; not a pub. As a restaurant, it's fine. But you will feel harassed if you just pop in for a few pints - and there's no 'drinking area' either; they want you to buy food/spend money, and will give you menus and hover. Which is fine if, like I say, you want a restaurant.

(hmmm... Russell square? Not really: more kings cross)

Not sure what to make of this place..been a couple of times now but it feels like it doesn't know what it is..pub or restaurant. All the smokers had the tables outside, everyone was eating inside, and any spare tables were reserved for later. Nowhere to stand with a drink without feeling in the way or being asked "can I help you?" like I should be ordering some food.

Hmmm... looked really 'interesting' with the Hams hanging up, but somehow missed the mark. The Theakston XB was OK and the food was average... Quite a nice vibe going on. It's just a shame non-smokers are now 'confined' indoors as al the outside seating gets swamped by the smokers.
