| Small, friendly pub in a slightly secluded location, round the back of the northwest corner of [[Tottenham Court Road Station]]. You can get to it from Gresse Street off [[Tottenham Court Road]], or Rathbone Place off [[Oxford Street]]. Quite good for the area - not touristy and not excessively overpriced. It's a Sam Smith's pub, so don't expect to recognise any of the brands at all. |

Note, this does a better pint of Sam Smiths than the keg pints in the [[Fitzroy Tavern, W1T 2NA|Fitzroy]], just up the road. --[[IvorW]] |

==== Service and Ambience ==== Music, fairly loud. If you were being nice you might say it was eclectic; if you were being honest you'd be more likely to say it was random. |

Refreshments
Food served until 8pm. Most main menu items looked to be about £5-6. Drinks are cheap as normal for Sam Smith's - example Old Brewery bitter is £1.66 a pint. [Prices as of November 2003]
Layout and Facilities
Small bar at the front (three tables), smaller bar with the gents' and a dartboard out the back. Ladies' (two reasonably-sized cubicles, cramped handbasin area with real taps) and bookable function room (with its own bar) upstairs.
OpenGuiders' Comments
Food is OK - expensive for what it is, but that's probably got a fair bit to do with the very central location. I had mushroom soup, one of the more reasonably-priced menu items at a shade under £3. It started off very well, clearly homemade from real mushrooms, but it had far too much pepper in it, and I say that as someone who likes pepper a lot. --Kake [November 2003]
