  “Decent pub tucked away in the back streets of the City. Popped in for a pint during a bit of a crawl. Loved the decor, really solid Guinness on tap, and a number of screens to watch the Six Nations.”

  “Decent pub with staff who know how to pour a pint. It’s usually busy with the after-work crowd, tucked away in the backstreets between Blackfriars and St. Paul’s. A nice break from the more touristy spots nearby whilst still having a good ambiance. There’s a wide range of beers on tap and some cool artwork and history on the walls. Definitely worth popping in for a pint or two if you’re in the area. Guinness at time of review was £6.75.”

  “Lovely little pub, tucked away near St Pauls. Very busy outside on a sunny weekday evening in July, but plenty of room inside. Not too loud, nice atmosphere, clean toilets, staff were cool and Guinness was good. Nothing bad to say. If I was to raise any constructive criticism at all I would just say I had numerous pints of Guinness served in a variety of non Guinness glasses, which doesn't bother me but I know it's important to some folks.”

  “This a well hidden gem. My bartender (from Georgia didn't get her name) was great. The drink selection was very vast. They remembered me from just one visit. I ended up visiting 3 times and each time it was a fun place to grab a beer...or three. Just a short walk from the cathedral. I would highly recommend this place for a drink. I will go again next time in town.”

  “Less than 5 minutes from St Pauls is an area of small alleys with several restaurants and pubs. This is a traditional pub that is quite smallish but does have additional seating upstairs and an exterior standing area. Given the small bar area choice is somewhat limited, less than 10 whiskies and no cask ale. I opted for a Stella at £6.40, the service was excellent. Of particular note are the brightly painted windows and the wall painting of London outside the toilets. Food is available. I would recommend a visit to this pub if you are in the area.”

  “If you are looking for a proper old school pub, with great atmosphere, service and beer. This is definitely a place to go. Love coming here for an afterwork pint. They do a really good Guinness.”

  “Traditional single room pub, slightly tucked away on a quiet back street, really close to City Thameslink and St Paul’s Cathedral. Very popular for after work drinks; the narrow alleyways providing plenty of space for outdoor drinkers, now with some seating down the side too. Slightly disappointed to find only one real ale on (Young’s Special) at the time of my visit but nevertheless a good pub.”

  “A great backstreet pub, just off Ludgate hill, a stones throw from St Paul's Cathederal. A roomy pub with a horseshoe bar and plenty of tables outside. An absence of traffic gives an air of tranquility in the centre og London. Beer lovely and cold served by efficient welcoming staff. There is an upstairs dining room serving excellent food, including a very tasty generous Sunday lunch. A most excellent place to visit.”
