Inside are a few small tables around the edge of the room, the largest probably holding around 6 people. There are also some tables outside for smokers. There's a (gas-fuelled) fire for warmth in the winter months, as well as a good juke box. Lighting is generally dim, with bright spotlights here and there. |

There are four handpulls for ales, with a strong emphasis on Brodie's ales (brewed at [[King William IV And The Sweet William, E10 6AE|The King William IV]] in [[Locale Leyton|Leyton]]). On a January 2010 visit, the ales were Everard's Tiger and Brodie's Doppel Dunkel Weizen Heizen and Christmas Tinkle, all well-kept. In October 2013, the ales were Morland Original, Ruddles County, and Brodies Kiwi. They also have the usual range of cooking lagers and basic bar snacks. A pint of lime and soda was 80p in October 2013. |

On both our visits so far (a Thursday evening and a Friday evening), the bar billiards table was covered, and is presumably only available at off-peak times. UPDATE: in 2016 (maybe earlier), the bar billiards table disappeared. |

Child-friendliness: A commenter on this page (Dominic F, July 2013) tells us that according to a member of staff he spoke to, the pub has a "no children" policy. Accessibility: A step to get in. |

A fine little pub just off Pentonville Road near King's Cross Station.
The emphasis should really be put on the small, as this is a simple one-room pub with a bar facing the front doors. At off-peak times, it is a lovely, quiet place for a drink off the beaten track, but after work and especially on a Friday (as on Ewan's January 2010 visit) the place gets completely rammed, though when the weather's nice there's plenty of spillage out on to the street outside.
