The Salisbury, WC2

There are some excellent reviews of this fine Victorian pub below, so I'll try not to repeat too much of what has already been said. For me, the most striking aspect of this pub is the amazing glasswork, with most of the walls covered with some fantastic etched mirrors. There are also some fine statuettes dotted around as well, most notably near the seating booth areas to the left of the main entrance. There is quite a bit in the way of seating in here, as well as enough open space to allow for vertical drinking at busier times (being in the heart of the West End theatre district, it's almost always busy in here). The beer choice was Young's London Gold, TT Landlord, St Austell Tribute, Wells Bombardier, Sharp's Doom Bar and possibly one other, but I couldn't see the clip on that pump. I had a pint of London Gold which was well kept and served by a very nice barmaid who was very patient in dealing with a friend who kept changing his order. There were door staff on my Saturday evening visit and inside the atmosphere was warm and vibrant. This pub is well worth stopping off in just for its interior alone, but I thought the beer and ambience meant that it was more of a complete package than that. There are of course, some very good pubs in this part of town and I feel that the Salisbury can rightly consider itself in that category as well.
