Friendly knowledgeable service in an old (16th C) pub, small wood panelled rooms off the main bars and a function room upstairs - Will visit again.

Possibly my new favourite London pub. Snug in the lounge is called Ye Closet. Toasted sandwiches at £1.50. Mid Friday PM, moderate number of regulrs in, but just a perfect pub. Dark wood panelling in wonderful, plus wooden seats lining the walls. Staff take pride in their job.

Tuesday early evening and there were a fair number of people in. Just a wonderful pub with great atmosphere. Could stay here for ages.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Orkney (Sinclair) - Dark Island4.60AcceptableMaybe had cider in the glass before, maybe young as had green apple flavour. Tight sparkler blands the flavour. Shame.

The pub is found in Holborn, Central London, EC1N 6SJ.

Located in Ely Court in Ely Place just off Hatton Garden. Old fashioned wood panelled pub straight out of Elizabethan times (built in 1546) tucked down a side alley offering no nonsense beer and plain simple food with no frills. The pub is technically in Cambridgeshire (Ely being in Cambridgeshire) and the licensees used to have to go there for their licence. Regular Good Beer Guide entry. East London & City CAMRA Branch Pub of the Year 2010. SPBW London Pub of the Year 2013. Significant CAMRA discount given here.

We have visited this pub 33 times, seen 71 different beers and tried 40 of them.
