Quite a nice pub, with a few different seating sections within it. It's bustling at the weekend, but not rammed - it's possible to get a table and be served at the bar within a minute, which are the main things really. The menu looks quite appealing and I was sorry to have arrived just a few minutes after the kitchen closed.

Decent pub near Old St Station. The menu is a bit pretentious and pricy. Good range of beers on draught, Czech lagers, Belgian beers and three handpumps.

I spent an evening at The Reliance last week. I started on the Rosey Nosey (pretty good), then had a pint of London Pride (not great) and then finished with the Broadside (no complaints at all).

As I only had three beers I cannot really support or refute the claims (see below) that the beer at this pub is poor. Of the three different ales I tried, two were good and one was a little below average.

The beer did seem a little expensive but the selection (particularly bottled) is good.

The Reliance it a strange little pub, but one which is charming in a bizarre way. The staff seem a little odd too, but I wouldn't mind going back if I were in the area.

The beer in this place is absolutley minging!

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO CLEAN THE LINES???????

Barstaff are obviously heavily into drugs or as suggested below are sedated,or maybe they've drunk too much of their own beer,that's enough to rot anyone's brain.

Council/hygiene officials should be called about the state of the beer.I for one will be getting in touch with trading standards.

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.

Nice looking pub although they seem stoned/sedated!

The manageress is a gorgeous little scottish woman with eyes to die for and the food is pretty good.Sadly thats all this pub has,the beer is way overpriced and out of 3 different pints I tried all were off/stale and did not smell very nice.

Recommend a good line cleaning session to sort your beer out.
