Ye Old Mitre, Holborn

Went there after work one night recently with colleagues. Nice selection of beers and it was fun drinking around the beer keg in the alley. However people were heading for shelter, I turned to see where they were going, a couple of seconds later I turned round to grab my beer and the uber-efficient glass sweeper had nabbed it and vanished when it still had a half pint in it. I went in and asked for a replacement half and the landlady was quite rude but I did get my half back. I then went outside to find that exactly the same thing had by then happened to another colleague of mine! I have never had it happen to me before in my life. Later on when it was a bit quieter so we moved inside and started to put chairs from the edge of the room around the table in the middle. Uh oh! The bar staff came charging over telling us to put them back. Despite all that nonsense I would go again as I think I may have just caught it on an odd day.
