Description

The Yorkshire Grey is a Classic British Pub with a nice contemporary twist. Many over-do the twist but they appear to be spot on here. The Upstairs Lounge is one of London's most sought after for all kinds of parties and holds up to 100. A really good Lunch trade because it does a decent simple and tasty Lunch and again the early evening Solicitors and Media folk are to be seen downing the Real Ale and Chardonay's alongside the new breed of Clknwell/Bloomsbury natives. Because of its ideal location and excellent bus and tube routes, it has a Mid-Town New York feel but a warmth of a local London Pub. A regular Tuesday Quiz.

The Upstairs Lounge hosts many Parties,does a feast of 30th and 40th birthdays, Engagements and weddings as well.The room is like a Dickens sitting room but with a really good Ipod Music system huge Mirror ball and funkynes.

Recently rated a 4 star by food safety agency. Very Good Pub. Call it direct on 0207-405-2519 or email-info@theyorkshiregrey.co.uk

Would it kill them to provide a bit of carpet or upholster the chairs? Maybe all those "solicitors and media folk" enjoy re-living the discomforts of their public school days in these barebones, arse, ear and foot-ache inducing wine bars. Is this the "nice contemporary twist" they are talking about? Seriously, check out the blurb posted in the pub description above.

It appeared to me as if someone had taken a rather promising looking London corner pub and systematically stripped out everything of interest and tradition, replacing it with an ersatz European style cafe.

Go there if you like, I am sure that it appeals to many, but I won't drink there as I can't escape from the conclusion that the owners and management are patronising vandals.

I get here every two months or so on a sort of work cycle and the consistency of the pub is really good. Had leaving drinks here for a mate and we are always looked after. This visit I had fisn n chips and lots of real ale.....what a London Pub should be...well done to all.

Friendly, sometimes too friendly staff, good service, and good selection of drinks, that are slightly more expensive than neighbouring pubs, also found the house wines a bit ropey. Great atmosphere - have been drinking here for 6 years, and it has really benefitted from the last change of owners.
Food menu is great, when they say the platters serve at least 4, they mean it ! - quality of meals is excellent, service times good, and prices competitive.
Avoid Friday nights when it is packed, and queues deep at the bar. Would recommend at other times, do a great Saturday brunch.

The user "Strongers" seems to not have anything better to do with his/her time, rather than complain about everything. I wonder, who does he/she work for?

Following his/her other "reviews" here --> http://www.beerintheevening.com/user_comments.shtml?username=Strongers it is clear that he visits 4-5 pubs a day. Then rushes to go online and complain about them all. Just check out his/her "reviews" at the above link. You will be amazed.

Yorkshire Grey is a decent pub with good value fresh food, cheaper prizes then most pubs in the area, excellent choice on beers, wines, and spirits. A good treat in general!!

This place has a bland wooden interior and an even blander atmosphere that consists of other people’s conversations echoing around the room. The barman was nice enough when he finally served me after finishing his conversation his boss and my Guinness was good. Harveys Best, Greene King IPA and Caledonian Kiss Me Quick were also available on my recent visit along with Amstel and a very limited standard draught selection.

I didn’t spot any TVs and the background music was on so low that I didn’t really see the point in bothering. with it

There are far better pubs in this area so I’ll not be returning.
