Millers, Kings Cross, N1

Prominent corner pub not too far from Kings Cross station on the Caledonian Road. It was fairly busy on our Saturday morning visit, including a large group of Newcastle football fans and what appeared to be a hen party sporting reindeer antlers. There was a bouncer on the door, presumably to prevent any trouble. I vaguely remember my last visit here almost 5 years ago. But in truth, there's little that sticks in the memory with this one. However, this pub was at least open, with most of the other local boozers not opening until the afternoon. Pride & Doom Bar are the real ales. I opted for SALT Jute on keg, which was dispensed in a plastic glass. It wasn't too bad a beer though.

Just round the corner from Kings Cross it is a decent looking pub. We had pint of London Pride which was just about drinkable and moved on.

Packed inside when we arrived half way through the Chelsea vs Spurs FA Cup Semi Final that was being shown live on the big screen. The bar itself was pretty empty so getting served wasn’t a problem, a few ales on the few pints of Whitstable’s Hull Melon @ 4.4% were very decent. I haven’t visited this pub for over 10 years, when at the time I used to visit at least once a week sometimes more as I knew the landlord. Decent pub but with it being so busy we re-treated out the front where it was quieter. It’s still got dodgy toilets, not quite Trainspotting but not much better.

Another busy pub.Sky sports,Hobgoblin and Pride make up the entertainment. Ornamental bars on the windows to stop the customers breaking out. Obviously not my kind of pub.

Quite a dark interior with exposed brickwork and dark wooden flooring. 3 real ales and food served.

Millers was mobbed during a recent Friday evening visit. The clientele was varied with some football supporters, old boys and medical students in fancy dress. It was a bit of a mission getting to the bar that runs along the left hand wall, but I managed to find a comfortable place to stand at the rear. Plasma screens located throughout were showing muted football results and there was some low background music playing. The bar is stocked with Amstel alongside standard draught and I spotted two hand pumps, but it was too busy to scooch along the bar to see what they were drawing. I found the bar staff to be friendly and although a little busy for my liking there was a good atmosphere. This is not a place that I would actively seek out again for a beer, but I would have no problem popping in for a pint if passing.
