Founded in 2018, this place takes its name from some neo-Gothic stone thing surrounded by wrought iron railings, at a road junction just to the south; the presence of Ladies and Gentlemen signs are a clear indication that this was once a public convenience, but as a bar it’s anything but bog standard.
The interior is tastefully trendy; you can do a tour on Google. Understandably though, it’s absolutely tiny with a bar-ette at the end; smooth sounds played over the stereo, but otherwise there’s no electronic entertainment. Customers were young and trendy, making for a good atmosphere on my Thursday visit. On the minus side, illumination is low, meaning that I couldn’t read the unlit fisheyes, just about making out the Siren logo, which turned out to be their IPA, served by a friendly barmaid and at a reasonable – for ‘craft’ – £3.10 a half, for this is a house of keggery, the lack of cask meaning that this doesn’t qualify as a micropub; it tasted like every other beer of this type.
I’m not a fan of bar conversions, almost exclusively eschewing them in favour of traditional purpose-built pubs, which also helps keep them afloat. But this is a great little place and if I could be guaranteed a table to cater for myself and a couple of friends, I could quite easily spend an evening here. However, the lack of cask means that for me it shall remain forever a curiosity, which I’m unlikely to revisit.

This is a great little conversion to a bar. Barmaid assumed by the look of me that i would like the 4.0 lager she recommended to me before i even got to the bar. Wrong ,i went for an imperial stout.I was just about to ask someone where the toilets were when i thought this place is tiny,surely i can find them myself.It took me two circuits of the pub before i found them just behind the front door.

This really is a tiny bar,most definitely micro so time your visit carefully and avoid Spurs match days.There are 6 tables of various sizes and a narrow drinking ledge but more than 15 punters and it will feel rammed .There are benches outside.The internal loos are now just single cubicles.I really liked the jazz soundtrack,it added to the calm atmosphere.
The interior conversion is well done and has retained glazed tiling.The bar is small,there is even room for a tiny kitchen in one corner,so meals are available (at a price) besides bar snacks like scotch eggs.There is a helpful beer menu listing 10 options and for the pre football crowd Flensburger Lager is priced at £4.70.The rest of the options were from some leading craft keg brewers,although I noticed outside some spent key kegs so maybe some of the offerings here will pass the CAMRA real ale test.Sadly the beer menu didn't mention key keg.
On my trip options were from Brew by Numbers,two Kernals,a saison sour and my Pale half at £3,Howling Hops House IPA,a Redemption and an Overtone ,a sparkling cider and Siren Soundwave IPA.A decent selection but pint pricing £6-£7.60 so charge your wallet before entering.
You might get some fine craft keg options here but it's probably a pop in to see venue rather than somewhere to base yourself for a whole evening.
