Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Candlemaker
Very modern Young's pub (confusingly known as Smiths of Smithfield for a short time after it opened) in the Wallbrook building. Comprises a 'L'-shaped layout overall, with slightly split-level seating areas between the windows and the counter, with tables laid-up for dining further back. Just a couple of handpumps on the counter these days (compared with four on my last visit seven years ago), but at least one of these was actually working this time to dispense 'London Original' (£5.95).

Strongers . left this review about The Candlemaker
The Candlemaker is a modern Young’s establishment with bar area at the front and large restaurant to the right rear. Seating runs along the front windows and there is a small drop to the U-shaped bar area behind. The television in the bar area was off during a recent Wednesday afternoon visit, but live sport is advertised. There was some background music playing.
The bar is stocked with premium keg and the four hand pumps were drawing Young’s Ordinary and Special alongside St Austell’s Proper Job and Weston’s Rosie’s Pig cider. The service was polite, and I thought this place was OK when compared to some of the other bars in the area.
