A modern bar appealing to the younger generation. At street level is one large room with a bar at the end and a kitchen servery to the side. One corner has movable partitions and can be hired, as can the other bar downstairs. A few tables under an awning provide an outside area. Mostly serving a range of craft and euro keg, but a couple of handpumps offered Sambrook's Wandle and Powerhouse Porter with the latter in excellent condition.

I have walked past this pub on quite a few occasions and thought it was a Spoons and presumed I had reviewed it ages ago. It is in fact a Greene King outlet, so I thought I'd give it a go. One thing I do agree with from the reviews below, is that the staff are very friendly and chatty. The interior is modern, with a long bar positioned along the right hand wall. The wall behind the bar was exposed brick, the bar counter was solid oak, with a painted bar front and some opaque glass globe lamps hanging down along the length of the counter. Three handpumps, with two in use on our mid week visit, serving Trumans Lazurus and GK IPA. I went for a pint of the Trumans, priced at - wait for it, £5.40 a pint. Very overpriced in my opinion for the back end of Holborn.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Square Pig
Fair-sized bar / restaurant with a 'L'-shaped layout featuring semi-modern furniture and generally light decor in the main space and side dining area. Very busy post-work, even on a Wednesday, but the staff were friendly and efficient. Also has a few tables out on the terrace along the side façade. Three real ales on handpump: Greene King IPA, Twickenham Sundancer and Sambrook's Pumphouse Pale (with a hand-written clip, £4.00).
