Aside from the cask being dropped due to low sales, this place remains as it ever was. A reliable outlet for Irish and Scottish sports and a bit of atmosphere.
September 2013
An 'Irish' pub that actually is a proper Irish boozer, showing Irish sports on multiple screens and getting the general cultural vibe. The interior is larger than the exterior initially suggests. One ale - London Pride - which is usually fairly solid. Food is offered and there is a friendly welcome. Inside can be a little dark, not helped by the looming office block opposite which cuts out most of the sunshine. Always a good bet for sporting events where the kick off is pre-midday. Previously known as The Railway Tavern and Scruffy Murphys. Used to have an Inter City 125 on the pub sign!

Still Irish themed with lots of tv,s and keg fonts with the usual suspects but London Pride on cask.Fair condition.No fun being in an empty pub when other local pubs were busy.

The worst pint of London Pride I have ever had. And its the only Real Ale on.
I only came in as the Greyfriar (complete with its Cask Marque sign) was all closed up at 10pm on a Tuesday.
Dreadful place. Avoid.
