I liked this pub because it was a Samuel Smith’s and had a bit of character to it. It’s small, cosy or cramped depending on your personality, and had an interesting mix of people.
I’m a designer, so the typography on the window bugged me but I realise that won’t be an issue for most. ;)
This pub has charm and good beer at good prices and that goes a long ways.

We took over the snug for an informal leaving do, and I must admit, for an old man’s boozer this place has a certain charm. Like the sister pub just up the road - the Princess Louise - it’s a bit of a maze with different sections and areas to disappear into (just don’t try and move the chairs around, they seem to get rather angry about that). It’s cosy and considering the location, quite a well-kept secret.
Sam Smith’s are cheap and the beer drinkers seem to love what’s on offer. The organic cider is good and I love the lack of branding - get ready for Ye Olde Coke mixers with your vodka.

This pub is brilliant. It’s simple and friendly and a great place to meet friends when no one is really sure where to go.
It’s split into two halves with a little snug at the back which no one knows about, the part with the smaller bar section is a bit more of a old man’s pub. The other half seems to be a bit cooler with more indie kids after they’ve finished playing with guitars on Denmark Street.
As the other guys have stated, it’s a Sam Smiths pub, which people either seem to really love or hate. I’m a fan. Two quid for a pint of beer is pretty good in my book. It’s nice beer too.
The general atmosphere is pretty good. The old locals can get a bit annoyed if the young kids hop over onto ‘their side’ but it’s fun in here. They also do a pretty good lamb hotpot.
If you want a cheap night out in a friendly relaxed pub, you’ll have a great time in here. Just make sure you stay ou of the snug at the back. Unless you want to buy me a beer of course.
