Strongers . left this review about Boundary Farringdon
The Boundary is a long sports bar with seating across the front wall that has lots of patio doors that I imagine are opened in the summer. There’s lots of sports paraphernalia on the walls and by the entrance is a giant Heineken rugby ball, rugby was one of the sports muted on the numerous television screens found throughout. Two pool tables sit adjacent to the left-hand wall, and a dart room is advertised, but I didn’t see it. The sunken bar is along the rear wall where the serving counter supports premium keg alongside mainstream craft keg, half an Amstel was £3.85. The service was polite and I’m sure there’s a good atmosphere when a big match is on, but it was empty during a recent midweek afternoon visit.

This is a long rectangular sports bar with the bar counter along a good part of the rear long wall, with a red lino skirt in the lower level of the venue that is otherwise bare boarded. The bar counter has a regular brick front and a well-used polished wood bar counter. There is a line of tall tables along the other side of the lower level facing the bar counter with tall unbacked stools and a red leather seat pad. Plenty of large screens showing a variety of sporting action on my visit high on the wall above the bar counter but more on eye level if you sit on the upper level of the venue, which had a dark blue heavy duty carpet floor covering. Collection of tall tables around the entrance but then regular tables and chairs along most of the length of the venue to the far corner where there are a few pool tables. There were quite a few picnic benches out the front on a paved area. Quite like this as a sports bar, a little hidden away so always not too busy.

Long but fairly thin sports bar, lots of TV screens, slightly obscured in places strangely, probably due to the shape & the commentry for matches isn't as high as you may imagine. Beer keg, food very expensive. OK to match a match but not perfect. Hidden in Cowcross Yard. Its ok
