Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Somers Town Coffee House
An attractive old building, thoroughly refurbished (but thankfully not completely ruined) in gastro-pub style by Charles Wells before passing to the Yummy pubco. Reverse 'J'-shaped layout, with a typically varied - although not all very space efficient - range of seating. Quite a bit of patio furniture out front, plus a partly-covered rear outside seating / smoking area. Also has a 'speakeasy' cocktail bar downstairs. On this latest visit I found Landlord and Brewpoint's Anchorman available from two of the three (or is it still six, as it was too crowded to see properly?) handpumps.

Situated between Euston and St Pancras stations,don't be put off by the Charles Wells pub sign,thankfully their awful ales dont feature here.
The interior is very traditional and pleasing with lots of wood panelling,traditional furniture and to the left side a rear section which looks like a dining area.There are a rank of high tables opposite the bar,while outside a front patio would be useful in good weather.I didn't investigate the cellar cocktail bar.There are 4 letting rooms on the second floor and that's why breakfast is available here from 8am on Mon-Fri,10am at weekends although the bar will only open at 11am.The food menu has some interesting dishes,my baba ghanoush was very tasty but beware of a 10% service charge which will also apply to any drinks bought with a meal and brought to your table.Discretionary ? Difficult to argue given the very friendly barmaid but minus a rating point .Median mains around £14,lite bites available.
There are lots of handpumps and three reversed clips on my visit ,leaving TT Landlord and a very good St Austell Proper Job (NBSS 4).12 keg taps do offer some craft options besides the dross.
I enjoyed my visit and would pop in again despite suffering the service charge in silence.

I was expecting this to be a bit of a food led posh pub but found a scruffy back street pub.The bar was piled up with unwashed glasses and felt a bit down at heal.Barstaff seemed unsure what cask beers were actually on.Charles Wells own this and i came because i wanted a beer from their new Brewpoint brewery.Had two on keg and they were both good.Plenty of rear outside seating.
