Decent Young's pub with a bookable upstairs area. In the Good Beer Guide.

It's a real locals' pub, and although it's not particularly close to any Tube station (Russell Square is closest), this does mean that it has the advantage of never being particularly crowded. It has a few benches and tables outside for al fresco drinking in the warm weather; they're around the corner from Greys Inn Road itself, so don't suffer too much from passing traffic.

The toilets leave something to be desired; they've had problems with the drains for years, though it has got better recently.

Kake says: I've never been particularly impressed by the food, but it does the job of soaking up the beer. This is also one of the very few pubs in London where another (male) patron has struck up a friendly conversation with me (woman having a drink on her own) in a non-creepy manner. I like it here.

Last visited by Kake and others, some time in 2006.
