Have noticed this place quite a bit over the years but never popped in as just assumed it was a conventional cafe. It is on a nice corner spot overlooking Regent’s Canal. There are some tables out the front (not so enticing as they face a v busy main road). The ground floor space is quite small but as I was the only punter there (everyone heads upstairs it seems to the terrace) it was very pleasant by the open window over the canal. Beers wise it is just a set of 5 shiny keg taps dispensing Blue Moon, Madri, Staro and a couple of other lagers I didn’t notice. Also Guinness which was perfectly nice. Probably no better than a 4 on beer front, but uplifted as it is a really nice spot!
