The Doric Arch, Somerstown, London

Though in dark wood and nicely cosy this is a modern pub. It’s on three floors. The ground floor contains nothing but the entrance, the bar is upstairs and the toilets downstairs.
Many old British Railways station signs add to the railway feeling of the place.
But as also other reviewers emphasized the variety of beers is delightful with the full choice of Fuller’s beers and guest beers (6 handpumps) plus - rather unusual - three containers with real cider, the strongest ('organic’) with more than 7% abv.

Most pubs in the vicinity of big train stations like Euston are pretty grim, but the Doric bucks this trend. OK, so if you like acres of cream paint and tasteful paintings and modern furnishings you are going to hate this place, but if you are a train spotter or someone who just likes a good proper boozer then the Doric is for you! There’s quite a lot of memoribilia from London’s transport system hung on the walls which are interesting, even if you aren’t the sort of person who spends hours hanging around in your anorak around train stations!

This pub has a really wide range of tasty real ales, on tap and in bottles. This is a Fuller’s pub and their seasonal ales are always nice. The range changes regularly, lending itself to many return visits - as my boyfriend says, nothing says I love you more than joint membership to CAMRA so we travel here quite often.

To be honest, I’ve never eaten here but I’ve been told the food is reasonable honest pub grub and nicer than what you’d get in the station itself.

Well worth a visit, even if you aren’t planning to travel anywhere from Euston.
