Average Rating: 
Outside drinking now available (weather permitting)as you can see from the photograph. If you look closely at the other photograph, you will see the name 'Royal Oak' engraved on the wall at the Marishal Street side. This is what the pub was called prior to becoming Freelands in the 70s and then Old Blackfriars somewhat later. Often awarded Pub Of the Year by local CAMRA (it is the 2007 winner), it is famed for the quality of its ale (despite Belhaven buying it over several years ago) and the food is rather good also.
