The Admiralty, Whitehall, WC2

I like what Fullers have done here with their refurb, as the interior of this pub most definitely fits the name The Admiralty. This is a Fullers Ale and Pie house, with the full range of fullers ales and pies. The bar on the left was finished with a granite counter and the timber work painted in black, with gold painted inlay. The Quarter Deck upstairs was mainly set out for dining. I went for Oliver's Island Golden Ale, which was superb.

Now owned by Fullers and high quality interior.large ground floor bar with upstairs balcony.Lots of chandeliers, mirrors and comfortable seating.Booths as well.Money well spent on the interior but not for pub traditionalists.7 OR 8 handpumps with the full Fullers range so I tried the George Gales -fire cracker.Good condition but dull beer.

This place is an expensive Whisky bar and restaurant that I was dragged into last week. The food looked good, but the Scottish bottled lager and especially the whisky beer were not to my liking. I also found the kilted barman to be very disinterested in the punters. There is a dining area upstairs from the gastro bar and what looked like a night club with dance floor downstairs, but I could be very much mistaken. The toilets were also ‘DOONSTAIRS' (their words, not mine) miles from the bar through a network of darkened corridors. The décor is well done and inventive, but I wouldn’t return here just for a drink again.
