The main pub is the Lighterman - there is also a downstairs bar called the Canalside Bar.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Lighterman
Large modern pub / restaurant on three levels in a fine position overlooking the Regent's Canal - the 'L'-shaped ground floor bar with outside seating in Granary Square, a larger downstairs bar with a large patio area beside the towpath and a first-floor dining room with a balcony. Two (rather unobvious) handpumps on the street-level bar-back and three more on the lower bar counter, offering a couple of Crate beers plus Peckham Pale from Brick Brewery (£5.20 - ouch!). To be fair, I found it more appealing on a fine evening than most other reviewers.

A great PSM review covers all the important detail of this new addition to the canalside scene at Kings Cross Granary Square.Although the canalside bar was closed on my midweek afterrnoon visit,I did spy three handpumps here and agree this is the most drinker friendly looking part of this trendy bar.The ground floor is OK for drinkers but the best views are dedicated to dining tables,and the two handpumps here aren't as obvious,with on my trip Dark Star Hophead and Crate Rye (decent condition but £5pp???).The eight keg taps weren't drawing anything too exciting and beware that the drinking tables in this section can be booked,although a start time for the booking is advertised.Although it's hip and cool in here,it's largely aimed at a younger audience and I can't see a return visit for a real ale session.
