More of a food place but having said that I was made to feel welcome popping in for a drink. Choice of beers on and kept well. I would call again and maybe try the food which looked good!

“London’s first gastropub” (what an infamous boast!) which is whacked-through single roomer with the usual lack of imagination/clichés in these situations - stripped floor, neutral walls, sparse décor and reserved signs on empty tables. However, there were two bonus angles here;
1. a kitchen directly behind the bar which was big on leaping flames and hissing noises, kebab house in style.
2. three ales; Wells Eagle, Wells Bombardier and Hackney Elderflower. I tried the latter. it was in good nick and remarkably only £1.80 a half, a steal in this area and served up by a friendly barman.
Also noted a small but good set of local bottled ales.
It's all a bit silly but the decent ale, sensible pricing and friendly service meant I left happy, if perhaps not exactly bursting for a return session.

London's first gastropub (1991) in a rather dreary part of Farringdon Road.

The interior's a bit spartan, described as below and in the words of the pub's owners: 'A gloss Hollybush ceiling and Buttermilk walls, panoramic windows and solid ash floor. Mismatched tables and chairs, punters, young and old. World music and jazz, good food, wine and beer…'. There's also a semi-open kitchen of which I'm not a fan, due to the noise and heat in summer. Lighting is a bit gloomy and the music was a touch loud. Despite the gastropub leanings, few people were eating during our midweek visit at 9.00 pm.

The barman was a bit surly and had on offer Wells' Eagle and Bombardier, a reversed clip and Hammerton's New Zealand Pale Ale at £1.80 a half. It was very good and at this price is laughably 'cheap' given the area and reputation of the pub.

I'd definitely come here again for the food, but as a drinkery it could do better.
