The Eagle, Old Street, N1

Haven't ventured back in since I had to change 3 different cloudy pints on the trot, despite the rather abrupt antipodean bartender trying to convince me 'that's how it should be'. Errm, I don't think so mate, g'day.

I have walked past this pub many times in the past going to and from the Wenlock Arms, so this time decided to give it a go. A large opened out pub fairly busy on a Saturday night,England v Germany was on a TV screen until it went haywire and got turned off.Five pumps with four on,Ilkley Crossroads, Purity Ubu, Skinners Lushingtons and unfortunately Doom Bar,The Skinners beer was in good nick.It was better here than expected.

Very busy pub with lots of seating but nowhere to stand and rest your drink apart from the bar.4 beers on handpump and looks like Nicholsons range of beers.Superb pint of Orkney -dark island.Quite a messy looking pub.
