The Jerusalem Tavern, Clerkenwell

Great pub which serves as the tap for St. Peter's brewery. Never had any problem with the staff, in fact all have been happy to answer questions about the beer and offer tastings before buying.

Food is reasonably pricey at £5 for a burgers, but this kind of "pop-up-burger-shop-in-a-pub-thing" are everywhere nowadays and you a fiver is par for the course. I had one and it was pretty good.

My only gripe is where the bar is placed. The Queue blocks the walkway and you end up having to knock people to get by. Maybe a reconfiguration of the space would open up the pub a bit?

The Gunmakers, Clerkenwell

Checked this place out on Friday night after work and was very impressed. Interesting beers, good service and above all not absoloutely rammed. Good alternative to the Jerusalem Tavern. I'd give it a solid 8/10.

The Toll Gate, Hornsey

Saw a bloke get bottled in here on Saturday afternoon. A massive fight followed, with full pints glasses being thrown. Still ok if you keep yourself to yourself, but I will think twice before I go back.
