The Globe, Covent Garden

My wife and I stopped for a pre-theatre drink and dinner around Christmas, and found the climate and owner delightful. He was cordial, knowledgeable about American politics and education, and entertaining. His stock of American whiskey was under-rated so I offered to send a bottle of Kentucky Rye upon my return. The cider was just a sweet as first tasted 36 years ago at my wife's grandmother's house in Brimpton. My taste for English Ale leaves a bit to be desired...but the scotch (provided gratis, he left the bottle on the table) by HR was a perfect ending to a perfect evening. I can't wait to return and sample the Rye.
