Blue Lion, Holborn

A nice friendly pub. Nice food, and a good range of drinks. Slightly pricey, but acceptable for the area.
The barstaff are friendly, and there is a pool table and TV screens. I would certainly suggest visiting, especially a weekday evening, although it can get slighlty busy at times.
Certainly the best pub in the Grays Inn Road area, and well worth a visit!

This Pub used to be The Ben Crouch, which was always busy and it was a unique and fun pub in London, there was nowhere else quite like it.
Last year it was bought out and has now become a Gastro Pub, which is way too overpriced and similar to a lot of other central London pubs. The Drink is very pricey, the food even more so, and not even that nice. In fact I'd rather eat a Macdonalds and pay �5 for a Macdonalds burger than eat the food here!
The interior is a bit arty and modern, which if in the right setting would work well, but in here is just disastrous! The staff are also somewhat rude. I have actually visited this pub on 2 occasions, on the off chance that I may have just been there on a bad day the first time I visited. But, no, both occasions were not a fun night, and I found myself staying for one drink, trying to eat the food, and quickly moving across the road to 'The Green Man' for cheaper drink and food,and much better service. Avoid!!!
