Hat & Feathers, Clerkenwell, EC1

Visited 30/07/25 No cask. Two hand pumps clipped but with the clips turned around. The offer but no offer was Hobgoblin Gold and their own branded golden ale, if you can't have your own branded golden ale on then what hope is there? Keg was 1664 Blanc, Guinness, Estrella, Brooklyn Stonewall IPA, Dream pale ale from Two Tribes, Angelo Poretti and Carlsberg. The pub has a bare boarded bar from the corner entrance door that I never thought would re-open as a pub. There is dark wood wainscotting and upper walls painted in a scarlet colour with some deeper red tiling on a couple of the wall pillars. The bar counter is in the rear left-hand corner and is wooden with some top and bottom brass rails. Regular tables and chairs around the outside walls of the space and large but low-level ornamental ceiling lights. The "lounge" bar can be accessed through a walk through in the front or rear of the bar counter and was similarly bare boarded. A pale blue leather banquette fitted along the left-hand wall with regular tables and chairs in front thereof plus a large table with regular chairs crowded around in the front part. Upper walls in that side painted dark blue and some well positioned mirrors adds to the feeling of the inside being larger than it is. Has the makings of a cosy corner venue (albeit in a busy spot) but really let down by the beer options.
