Historical version 18 of Old Mitre, EC1N 6SJ (view current version)

Small, cosy pub off Hatton Garden in Clerkenwell, in the Good Beer Guide. Note that it's closed on weekends; also, the only food available is bar snacks (toasties, pork pies, scotch eggs).

Their advert in the August/September 2008 issue of the London Drinker magazine says they have Adnams Bitter, Broadside, and Deuchars IPA available at all times, as well as guest beers. In June 2008, they had Sarah Hughes ruby mild on as well as a couple of others.

The Old Mitre was the London regional winner in the 2006 Abbot Ale Perfect Pub awards, and the East London & City pub of the year in 2008. It's also on CAMRA's national inventory of historically-interesting pub interiors.

Getting here: Walk up Hatton Garden; between numbers 8 and 9 on the right hand side there's an alleyway. This is Ely Court. The entrance is marked with a blue mitre on the nearby lamppost and a sign for the pub above photo of the blue mitre.
