Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Bleeding Heart Tavern
Describing itself as a 'restaurant, bistro and tavern', the street level bar was not laid up as a dining room when I visited late one afternoon. Fairly crammed with surprisingly plain wooden tables, and rather sparsely decorated, but it had a reasonably traditional pub-like appearance. Downstairs, though, is very different, with several swish dining rooms. Two Adams beers from a bank of four handpumps: Mosaic Pale Ale and the seasonal Nut Brown (£4.80). Ease Up IPA and Dry Hopped Lager also noted on the keg taps.

Tris C left this review about The Bleeding Heart Tavern
This place may have changed since the last reviews as I wouldn't call it a restaurant - that said, I wouldn't call it a boozer either.
The interior is small and slightly raised with a side bar, thereafter it's downstairs to the basement restaurant and kazis. Walls are bare brick, the floor is boarded and furniture is traditional; ugly ventilation ducts are on display. The French(?) bar staff were uniformed and efficient enough.
Two vacant pumps sat next to Adnam's Broadside (£3.90 a pint) which was fine.
Perhaps this place has improved since 2009/10 but either way it's a bit soulless and humdrum; I can't see myself coming here again, but it's better than the One Tun around the corner.

Steve of N21 left this review about The Bleeding Heart Tavern
Steve was right to leave, this is not a pub, it's a gastro restaurant. Yes it calls itself a Tavern and has 4 handpumps on the bar, but it's all window dressing to get you in to eat the expensive nosh.
Not a place for just a pint.
