Young's pub in Bloomsbury on Lambs Conduit Street. It's a very good pub, and so can get crowded in the evenings; not to the extent that you might have trouble getting in through the front door, but certainly to the extent that you might have to hover for a while before you get a seat.

On a visit in March 2008, a pint of ordinary was £2.80. Apart from Young's Bitter, they also had Courage Directors Bitter, Bombardier and Deuchars IPA.

Food is served noon-9pm Monday to Sunday. Kake comments (April 2007): Good food, though not cheap. The burgers are particularly recommended; steak photo, lamb, chicken and vegetarian burgers are all £7.95. They do go for quality over quantity. Other mains range from the burger prices to a maximum £9.50. There are also sandwiches from £5.50-6.50. Chips are £2.50, though you don't get a huge amount (verified in March 2008 by Ewan).

Puddings on offer are sticky toffee pudding with custard (£3.25), orange and cranberry cake (£3.50), and jam roly poly with custard (£3.75). Kake found nothing at all wrong with her sticky toffee pudding, but is not a pudding connoisseur; anyone else got comments?

Gents' loos are on the ground floor (there are two of them, one on either side of the bar), but the ladies' is upstairs (staircase is wide, with a sturdy handrail). One interesting aspect of the ladies' is that the cubicle itself is in a separate room from the handbasin, which lives in the "powder room" across the hallway.

There's a small beer garden out the back and a function room upstairs which can be hired out.
