Very nice place, staff and locals all very friendly. I go there for a lunchtime pint and always enjoy my visit.

Great pub.Was in here yesterday for the first time.From the outside ,it looks the type of pub that you would walk past and go somewhere else.Couldn't be more different on the inside.Cracking friendly pub that seems to have a decent amount of locals.Typical old school Clerkenwell.Courage best was top drawer as well

Very friendly staff, very reasonably priced. Not the best for ales, but great lager selection and pricing. Nice outdoor space out the back.

If an ale is too bad, I take it back, but the Courage Best passes the grade here (just).

I'm surprised at the lack of comment about this one, having just seen a comment from me dating back two years.

This pub's real ale is consistently and unspeakably bad. (Abbot and Courage Best). How the landlord can keep serving up acetified, oxidised, stale, and over-warm beers which are routinely rejected by discerning drinkers is amazing.

If you're at Sadlers Wells and need a pint, go to the Harlequin just a few metres further down the street.
