Visits Details
13 Jul 2015 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening 10.40pm. "We're closed". When challenged was told it normally closed at 11 but had decided to close early. An unreliable venue for the late night toper!

Pub quiz underway in back room. Expensive pint. A high proportion of the customers are dinking gin, I notice.
| Portobello - Star | 4.30 |  | Really good condition shows this to be an excellent Best Bitter with a bit of a bite. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Adnams - Southwold Bitter | 3.70 | Not Tried | |

A rather brief visit as the pub is very crowded on a Friday evening and I am reduced to standing in the entrance lobby. Expensive pint.
| Portobello - Star | 4.30 |  | Amber-coloured. Slightly sharp, but easy-drinking Bitter. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Marston's - EPA Celebration Ale | 3.60 | Not Tried | |

11:00 First heritage pub of the day's tour. One other group of drinkers in. The Guvnor heard us discussing the pub and brought out his collection of London pub books. He also photocopied the relevant pages from a an old City pub guide one of our party had with him.
| Marston's - EPA | 3.60 |  | Bit thin and sweet. |
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

I moved on to this pub when the Black Friar became too crowded. Busy here too, and I had to be sharp to avoid being short-changed by £5 at the bar.
| Marston's - EPA Celebration Ale | 3.60 |  | The complete name of this beer appears to be EPA Celebration Ale. Pale in colour and a bit feeble in taste. Served way too cold. I suspect it might be one of these ‘fast cask’ thingies. |
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Timothy Taylor - Landlord | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
