Sutton Arms, Clerkenwell, EC1

Of all the new pubs we visited across London on Monday, this one had to be the best discovery. It's a corner pub with 2 or 3 (1 was locked) entrances located at the junction of a couple of back streets, just off the busy Clerkenwell Road. The single room is small and basic, but the range of beers is much more impressive. 3 cask ales were listed on a blackboard, which gives plenty of details, including brewery, beer name, tasting notes, ABV and price. Whilst there was a dark beer listed that had just gone off, they still had Three Blind Mice Citra & Nelson Sauvin & Thornbridge Made North on cask. Craft beers were Verdant Neal Gets Things Done, Lost & Grounded Amplify Your Sound, Exale Krankie, Bohem Most, The Kernel Pale Ale & Siren Suspended in Mosaic. I really enjoyed my Three Blind Mice beer. The barman was very knowledgeable and fridges contain an impressive bottle and can selection. An unsuspecting gem that could easily be combined with other local hostelries such as the Jerusalem Tavern and the Old Fountain.

Nice corner pub and very busy on a sunny Friday evening.Old style with carpets on the floor(unusual)but new style young customers.Three good beers on Pride.Darkstar -apa and Oakham-citra.If they keep beers on like this it will stay busy.
