Description

Independently owned, 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 apparently one one London's most sought after for all kinds of parties and holds up to 100. It does 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 Clerkenwell/Bloomsbury natives. Because of its ideal location and excellent bus and tube routes, it has this near Mid-Town New York feel with people coming and going 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 and Mirror ball.

Recently rated a 4 star by food safety agency. V Good Pub.

Looks like an interesting pub from the outside, but at first glance the interior shouts bleached wood gastro-pub at you. However, they have three handpumps serving a perfectly repectable pint of Harveys and a couple of others (including Hook Norton 'Hooky' Bitter). Helpful bar staff too.

Very nice pub in the holburn area, Excellent service with a smile, and very helpful. Good Wine list with some quality vino for me and my girlfriends to pick from...and by the look of it a good stock of bitter to keep my husband happy.....Good thing his fav is sussex best as we origionally are from Hove.

Nice and relaxing atmosphere, mellow music and candlelight to give a lovely atmosphere....No commercial rubbish on the music system which is always good to hear.......hehe!!!

One of the pubs that brings up the standard let down by a number of poor efforts in the area. Me and my friends always feel welcome when we visit the Yorkshire Grey, The staff make you feel like a guest in their front room – very polite unlike numerous pubs in the area.

There is a good range of Bitters and Bottled beers, And has just changed its wine list – Nice mix of new world and Classic wine origins at good prices, most being under the £15 mark not being to pretentious having a bottle of 87’ chateaux margeaux on the list that has blaintantly been stuck in the cellar since 1988….

Must say gold medal should go to the Aussie Barmaid who is full of energy and very friendly, And run by a couple of young guys who must be proud to look after…..One European very passionate about Whiskey – Got me to try a Japanese one what I most prob would never had thought about, but glad he did…..So Good (yamazaki or something)

Only criticism is Harvey’s Best Bitter not constantly kept on tap – It should be a permanent fixture, but the fact that they like to try new beers from all over the country for all us bitter drinkers is great – Nice to see somewhere that knows there is more To London pride and Youngs out there….

Quite confused by Millays comments about it not being a pub and thwe lack of quality beer. Ive become a regular as my offices have just relocated here and must say this has to be one of the better pubs of the area. What makes this nice is the fact it is a one off and not following a branded enviroment. I was supprised to find out the manager was a young guy not much older than me, fantastic to see someone care about real ale instead of Alcopops and cheap lager/packets of nuts.

Over the last few weeks i have seen Woodfordes Wherry, Harveys sussex best, Hook Norton Hooky, TT Landlord, Green King IPA, and Skinners Cornish Knocker....There is always three different ales on and you are informed of whats coming up soon.

I was dissapointed last saturday when in the area tried to pop in for a quick drink, but found it closed to the public for a event, about 100 people enjoying a band playing, apparently someones birthday and they hired the venue, Spoke to one of the patrons of the party who was outside enjoing a cheky smoke (the brother of the birthday girl) and they said the party was awesome and the staff were excellent at looking after them.....Got me thinking about hiring the venue,

Food is good quality but it would be good to see a few more specials on the menu....But saying that the choice is vast and i have had something different nearly every time ive been......and its all good.

Overall its a great pub, Great Drink, Great food and most important good happy service......

Provided you understand that this is a bar/restaurant rather then a pub, which should be evident from previous reviews, you’ll not be disappointed. It’s very much one for after work do’s and groups of friends wanting to dine out reasonably cheaply. It’s an attractive bar and has a good location at a major crossroad. I’ve found the beer selection to be limited and the fact that they probably don’t turn over too much means it’s rarely in top condition.
