It's a single-room pub, though there are tables outside on the street, and in the passageway alongside the pub. It's a perfectly friendly place and a good bet for a drink in the area, especially if you like ale, though at busy periods (after work weekdays) it get full easily due to its small size. |

There are six ale handpumps, which on a September 2008 visit had Deuchars IPA, Bombardier, Courage Directors, John Smith Cask and Wadworth 6X (£3.05/pint on that visit), the last rather indifferently kept, though it was fine on a subsequent visit, as was the Deuchars. Ales were very similar on a February 2013 visit, with two guest ales. In May 2010, a half of Symonds cider was £2. Along their very crowded bar top <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/8452117333/ photo]</small>, they also have fonts for the basic lagers, along with a range of Budvar options (the regular offering, Budvar Dark, a nifty 'Half and Half' tap to mix the two together, and Budvar Yeast). |

A pub in Bloomsbury, just behind the Brunswick Centre, near Russell Square Station.
It's a single-room pub, though there are tables outside on the street, and in the passageway alongside the pub. It's a perfectly friendly place and a good bet for a drink in the area, especially if you like ale.
There are six ale handpumps, which on a September 2008 visit had Deuchars IPA, Bombardier, Courage Directors, John Smith Cask and Wadworth 6X (£3.05/pint), the last rather indifferently kept, though it was fine on a subsequent visit, as was the Deuchars. In May 2010, a half of Symonds cider was £2. They also have the basic lagers, along with Budvar and Budvar Dark and a nifty 'half and half' tap as well to mix the two together.
As of September 2008, lunch is served noon-2pm Monday to Friday. In the evening, they only have standard bar snacks as well as a few varieties of Pukka Pies.
Accessibility: A step up to get in. Not sure about the toilets.
