Ye Olde Mitre, EC1

Another one of my regular call ins when in this part of the city. It's well hidden down an alleyway between Ely Place & Hatton Garden. The first recording of a pub here was in 1546, but it's not this one. The current pub was built sometime in the 18th century which is still very old. There are 2 small rooms, both effectively snugs with a tree forming part of the wall in one of them. You can't get from one room to the other without going outside. The gents is also outside. Apparently there's an upstairs function room, but I've never visited. There's usually a couple of real ales available, but nothing out of the ordinary with Pride being a regular. It's not one for a long stay because of the limited beer range, but it's a must visit for one.
