The Mash Tun, Victoria Station
This bar has now closed after almost twenty years of trading. RIP

An interesting bar, this one: Years ago the men's toilets were located there (at the bottom of that long flight of stairs) and the urinals were situated where what is now the back of the bar! Perhaps 'The Cheltenham' would have been a more suitable name! Joking aside, not too bad a boozer.

The Mash Tun, Victoria Station
Yes, I agree, it is a tiny pub. And, yes, the selection of real ales is very limited. Possibly for this reason it never seems to get too crowded - apart from the day the station roof leaked, leaving this one the only concourse bar open. However, this tiny bar with limited selection has one very important redeeming feature (for me at least); it is the only bar on the entire Victoria Station premises where you are not treated as the enemy. Visit the Iron Duke, Bonapartes, Molly O'Grady or the JDW on the concourse and you will be treated as some kind of social leper by the bar staff. Not so the Mash Tun. So, keep up the good work: this unit deserves to do well.

Now Reopened as The Green Ginger, a Lloyds (JDW) pub. Watch this space!

An excellent Wetherspoons pub. Good, helpful, friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere. My only gripe is, why does the Guinness have to be served so freezing cold?

Actually, I quite like this bar; for a couple of pints before I make my weary way home. To be sure, I never pay the full price here because I have a BITE Card. Now that is something!
