No cask. Keg is a mixture of beers from the USA, which were Pabst Blue Ribbon, Yards Philly Standard, Kona Big Wave Golden Ale, and from London, the Pagoda lager, the Bloc Party IPA and the Lazarus porter all from Sambrooks, the Yunkling Pennsylvania Amber Lager and the Dennis Hoppr IPA both from Mondo and then the Caple Road cider. A good range by the can and bottle also including one I hadn’t seen outside the sports bar on Maiden Lane in the West End, the Moosehead.

This is the newest London member of their chain of American sports bars. Long narrow venue, bare boarded on the sides with a dark stone tile walkway through the middle of the venue and so becoming the skirt at the bar counter in the rear left-hand corner. There are tall stools along the length of the bar counter with tall tables with tall stools on the right-hand wall opposite the bar counter. Along that right hand wall in the front part of the venue is a long banquette serving several small tables each with a regular chair the other side thereof. In the left-hand side at the front are some regular tables and chairs then a single booth table and a drinking ledge ahead of the bar counter. Lots of screens and lots of American sporting paraphernalia on the walls and the customary mass of dollar bills pinned to the walls by customers with pithy messages. Less grand scale than the branches in Battersea and Waterloo and so more like the original branch in Fitzrovia. Was quite lively with the soundtrack being played on my 30 min or so stop here. There is a downstairs bar called the Nick Foles bar, but I didn't investigate.
