Cask, SW1

Yes I would agree with previous views that this pub does not look very inviting from the outside but once inside you have a choice of 8 real ales, 3 from the Thornbridge Brewery with the other beers rotating with one being a Dark Star brew.The inside is a bit clinical but this is made up for by the great choice of real ales and the very friendly staff who seem very keen to promote real ale.10 mins from Pimlico tube station and a must for the real ale drinker if in the area.

I was a little put off with the outside of this pub as I approached as it is built into a block of unattractive flats and there were a few people smoking in the doorway as to avoid the heavy rain giving this place a sinister feel. Thankfully the interior is clean and the clientele seemed nice enough, but there was a lack any kind of atmosphere and this was when all of the seating was taken up. Maybe the problem was that the pub was busy with couples and small groups that had been or were about to dine meaning that no one was standing at the bar. This place excels in the beer front with five ales on hand pump and a host of bottled beers behind the bar. The staff were very friendly and I would suggest that anyone wanting to order the best beer for them talks to the governor as he is very knowledgeable and some of the bottles are hidden out of sight behind others on the shelf due to lack of space. I wouldn’t purposely go out of my way to visit here again, but this is due to my own personal taste and I’m sure that CAMRA fans will love it in here.

I thought it was about time I paid a visit, and passing nearby while doing a walk from the Time Out Book of London Walks thankfully gave me the opportunity. It wasn't an auspicious start, as the Hophead came out cloudy, nevertheless, it was promptly changed with a smile and an apology, I went for the Twickenham Original, which was in very good nick. At this point my pen stopped working, but from memory now there were Whitstable Oyster Stout, an 80/- Scottish beer and some kind of wheat beer from a Norfolk brewery. The pub is smaller than I expected, as for the modern feel it works here,and the low key atmosphere is rather relaxing. Good to see the beer mat collection is growing, I didn't know the previous pub, but this rebirth seems to be working very well and good luck to all concerned.

Excellent city centre pub with 5 real ales on (usually at least 1 dark star) & a great selection of Belgian/German bottled beers make this well worth searching out if in the Victoria area.

Good old fashioned pub that has 2 bars on 2 levels with other seperate drinking ares.A very good selection of up to 7 real ales and one cider.Check the board for real ales that are on as they are spread between the 2 bars.

There's more than a change of name at the former Pimlico Tram. Until recently, even the locals were inclined to give the place a miss, but they and visitors are much happier to venture in now. The Cask has something of a "Lounge Bar" feel to it, with lots of wood (floor, bench seats etc.) about. As the name suggests, the emphasis is on food as much as drink, but the menu is very reasonably priced for central London (there's a short £5 lunch menu, for example) and the quality is excellent. Beer is something else they're good at here. Of the 5 hand pumps, one or two are for Dark Star: last night the Hophead was slipping down very nicely indeed and, not for the first time, impressing lager drinkers. If you do prefer a colder, fizzier pint, you can choose from Leffe Blonde, Budvar, Peroni & Amstel and there's a cider too (Aspall's). Not only that, but there's several fridges full of German & Belgian bottles, too. Well worth the short stroll down from Victoria Station.
