Yes, do watch out for the local 'geezers' calling your girlfriend 'darling'!! (see StuartW review, March 2008) Ha ha, ridiculous - surely this adds to the atmosphere of the pub, and not detracts from it as your review replies. Stick to the wine bars - i hear the Guardian is doing a 2-for-1 special at All Bar One this weekend which you'll probably enjoy.
For me, this was my pub find of 2008 - went to the Beer Festival there in October, and was blown away. Cracking nosh, superb ale, and a great couple of lads (brothers) who run it. Couldn't believe i hadn't been there before - all that wasted time!

Great pub - high ceilings, good atmosphere. Good beer too.

this is the best pub in the area. great owners and staff. top grub and crowd. sure you get a bit more edge further south down the street, but if you just want an easy time in pleasant surroundings then go here, no flash city suits, no charlie big-potatoes, no glum frowners, flawless.

oh do watch out for those nasty geezers that call ladies darling !!!! how terribly common.....sorry mate but thats all part of the rich tapestry of a proper london pub....whats so offensive about calling a lady darling? ..actors do it all the time ....
This is a great pub with a extensive range of beers.
Clerkenwell is fortunate and has lots of good pubs.

Okay for a quick drink or night out with mates, but watch out for the local 'geezers' who seem to think it is alright to call a woman that they don't know 'darling'. Lacks atmosphere inside, and is very open plan so there is nowhere to hide, so the paranoid could think that everyone is looking at them. Reasonably priced, lots of beers (although I am a wine drinker), and nice traditional decor (although the furniture is ancient so watch out for collapsing chairs). Good place to have a couple of quiet ones.
