| Belhaven - Herok & Howell’s Festival Ale | 3.80 | | Rather laughably, this is described as an “American-style IPA”. Personally, I have never come across such a low-strength or bland US IPA. I could not see the word ‘Belhaven’ on the pump-clip, although it might be there. Darkish, with caramel and butterscotch tastes. Just a hint of decent hops. Tastes a lot like the regular Greene King IPA with a dash of Cascade in fact. |

The pub is found in Fitzrovia, Central London, W1W 7LQ.
This pub in Great Portland Street was present by 1869 and is an ornate, four-storey, yellow-brick, street corner pub. Internally it now features a smallish, single front bar area and an almost separate rear room. There are several surviving features from the late-Victorian period, including the wooden bar back. The back room is wood-panelled and has some great gilded and etched mirrors and all through the pub are some lovely wall-mounted ceramic panels featuring hunting scenes. Owned more recently by by Greene King, it was good to see it has reverted to a pictorial pub sign after a period with a bland, generic, company sign. Closed 2nd July 2016 with permitted developments authority to combine with next door building for a variety of possible uses on the ground floor, including residential above the ground floor. Back from the dead under new ownership in late November 2021 and reopened with the work having been carried out to a high standard with all historic fittings remaining intact.
We have visited this pub once, seen 5 different beers and tried 1 of them.
