No cask. Keg offering of Camden Hells, Camden IPA, San Miguel, Stella, Corona, Goose Island Midway session IPA, Kopparberg Crisp Apple cider, Guinness, Budweiser, Signature Brew Haze Machine & Roadie, Purity Pure Pilsner, Modelo. Had some decent craft beers by can in fridges behind bar counter.
New venue near Piccadilly Circus. Doubles as a bar and an American diner restaurant. Glass fronted with a black and white ceramic tile floor. Bar counter is along the left-hand wall and has tall stool seating along the length of the bar counter. Black leather banquette serving regular tables in front window to left of entrance. Some tall tables with tall stools down the middle and then some booth tables loved in these types of diner venues down the right-hand side. There is a booth table with decent seating capacity in the far-right corner with a display of iconic vinyl covers in glass fronted cabinets on the walls around the corner. Screens showing Sky Sports absent sound that provided by a hip-hop soundtrack. Quite a bit of white neon providing a stark contrast to the black/white/grey colour scheme. Caught at a quiet time on my way to a lunch appointment, feels like it would be a bit much at a busy time because of the quite small size.

Revisited yesterday - one large room with the bar to the right. This time there were keg fonts on offer. Not much better, I suppose.
This one doesn't have anything on draught. 18.01.2017.
