"I was in the area on a Saturday night around 5pm, and had time to stop for a pint before boarding the Tube to get to my next destination. I was drawn in by the nice exterior of this pub and the fact that, unlike some other pubs in the area, this one didn't have people spilling out into the street, thanks to its slightly tucked away location that's quieter on weekends. Was also very convenient for the St. James' Park tube stop, right across the road. Service was pleasant and welcoming. And I appreciated that in addition to the standard offerings, they had some local craft beers on-tap. I had a delicious holiday pint, sitting at a table and doing some reading. While the atmosphere was social, it wasn't bonkers loud or full of overly drunk people. A nice visit; would definitely return."
