The Great Northern, Luton

A weird little Irish pub that nonetheless had a token ale (St Austell Tribute on Tuesday) which came out well and was gratifyingly cheap (less than £2.50 I think). It’s a pretty small, basic place with some nice original green Victorian half-length wall tiling running round the seating area as well as an original arched window at the front. The modern bar top was at odds with the rest of the décor but I liked it. The table I sat at had a glass holder added to each corner, which I haven’t seen before. Dominoes and crib were available. The clientele and music both came with a best before date of 1967, though they were perfectly friendly when I asked the way onwards to the Bricklayers. Not really one I’d recommend for a special visit but there’s enough positives to make it a worthwhile joker stop on a crawl, especially due to its close proximity to the station.
