The Hoop and Grapes, City Of London

I gave this pub a look in for the first time last week. Hadn't been back in the City for a while and this pub was a pleasant discovery. It was after 8 pm, there wasn't much footfall on the street, but the pub was still fairly packed, alway a good sign. Despite the throng, it took less than 30 seconds to get served at the bar and there were several ciders available.
I took a wander around and sat in the second floor games room for a while (quiet, with squashy sofas, perfect for a peaceful chat) and then settled on the terrace outside.

I had food off the barbecue (hot, fresh, decent veggie options, too) and a nightcap. I think I'll be back!
