Inspired to visit by Wills review of just over a year ago, also intrigued as to why this pub and myself have not been aquainted before now. Maybe because its tucked away down a couple of backstreets it's easy to miss. Well attended on my Saturday afternoon visit, it seems a lot of people know where to look for a good honest boozer.
The pub obviously has an Irish leaning but also serves up some very well kept cask ale as a big plus.The three handpumps on the bar had two beers on the go, both from Southwark Brewery, Bermondsey Best and an exemplary Mayflower Session IPA. A good local crowd with a good few fixated on the horse racing on the TV brought back memorys of boozers from yesteryear. Highly recomended and I find myself more aligned with Mr Larters take on the pub than Mr Scrumpys.

Hidden away down the backstreets of St Pancras, this is an Irish pub that now serves real ales from the Southwark brewery and has found its way into the Good Beer Guide. On our visit, these were Bermondsey Best & Mayflower Session IPA. Neither were particularly to our tastes.
It was warm inside on our sunny summer's day visit. The interior is carpeted and larger than I first imagined. However, it dors have a fairly worn appearance. Quite a few people had spilled out onto the street, given the warm weather.
A pub that I may well find myself in again, as I'm occasionally in the area. But not really worthy of a special visit.

A good backstreet pub which draws in the Irish - a group from Connemara were present on their first visit to London and didn't seem to want to go any further! According to the barman it gets absolutely wedged of an evening and has "the biggest turnover of Guinness in London", but in the middle of a sunny afternoon it was quite pleasant. The three handpumps still provide ales from Southwark.
