Because of the layout it only takes a smallish number of people in there to get to the point where you can't get a table.
Super place to start a night out, if only for the decor. (which is well worth just dropping in for on it's own just to have a swift half and admire)

Very ornate cellar bar under the MacDonald Burlington hotel. If you like churchlike interiors with a medieval theme alongside suits of armour, tombs of old warriors, alcoves and subdued lighting, then this is the place for you. It’s pretty impressive really. It has two banks of three handpumps doubling up with Pedigree, Bombardier and Everards Sly Fox on the bar. Over two visits the other week (I was at a meeting at the hotel above) I had a pint of the Sly Fox which was only OK and a pint of the Bombardier which was pretty good. It is a little expensive at £3 a pint but someone has to pay for the decor. Slightly surprisingly it has a quiz machine, which is a little out of place. I didn’t know they had those back in the dark ages. It’s an OK place to go if you’re after a bit of private conversation in smart surroundings.
