I popped in for a quick one as I had not been here for many years. I discovered that the price of my beer was £2.40 for a half and £4.85 for a pint. I opted for a half.

Late evening visit. Ludicrously loud vinyl music being played when people just wanted to talk to each other.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| St Austell - Tribute | 4.20 | | Seems to me Tribute these days has no smell and tastes like cold bitter water |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Adnams - Ghost Ship | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Red Rock - Rushy Mede | 4.40 | Not Tried | Who is going to buy a beer showing no brewery name nor abv on a home-made paper pumpclip? |

Once upon a time, when the world was considerably younger and I worked nearby, I used this pub quite a lot. Haven’t been here for donkey’s though. Nice and relaxed on Sunday afternoon, with a ‘bring your own vinyl’ thing going on.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| St Austell - Proper Job | 4.50 | | Golden. I always enjoy this English-style IPA. |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Banks's - Young's London Original (was Bitter) - previously brewed in Bedford and at Wychwood | 3.70 | Not Tried |
09 Jul 2016 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening late, as brief a visit as I could make it with slow clearance of dirty glasses and music blaring when everyone was just trying to talk. Offered one of the grimmest short measures seen for yonks.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bath Ales - Gem Bitter | 4.10 | | Now St Austell owned, will it go the way of Doom Bar. Did not taste quite right to me, too cloying |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Wadworth - Horizon | 4.00 | Not Tried |
03 Jul 2015 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening late.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - JHB | 3.80 | | Slightly overchilled but not inappropriate for a balmy night |
| Hop Back - Summer Lightning | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | Ran out, line pulled through for a new cask. Who drinks this stuff? |
02 Jun 2015 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until last orders bell. Window seats have a wall sign beside them saying "Watch out for Thieves nasty slippery vermin".
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Little Beer Corporation - Little Haka | 3.50 | | Dark brown and very flavoursome from this Guildford outfit which I had not come across before |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Oakham - Citra | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Red Rock - Back Beach | 3.80 | Not Tried |

Evening. Some grim brim measures seen.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dartmoor - Dragon's Breath | 4.40 | | |
| Butcombe - Bitter (or Original Beer) | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | Pub clip turned through 90° |
| House Beer - Marquis Brunette | 4.20 | Not Tried | When asked barmaid said Morton-Scott (the pub owners) had opened their own brewery but I can find no record. With no provenance I wouldn't consider drinking it |
11 Oct 2013 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening. A visit for old times sake but not a patch on its old existence when it had a beautiful enormous Hooper Struve mirror on one wall and a large ceiling mounted circular gas heater that could toast the unwary.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portobello - Market Porter | 4.60 | | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | Clip turned round 180° |

| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Young's London Special (was Special) | 4.50 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Charing Cross, Central London, WC2N 4HS.
Formerly the Marquis of Granby this pub has had a makeover in recent years which has added some ecclesiastical looking partitions and booth separators. At the east end the ground floor is wedge shaped. The downstairs bar counter is marble effect and has 4 handpumps. Some of the furnishing is distressed shabby chic. There is a narrow staircase leading up to an upstairs bar open at times for food and has a single handpump, and which may also be hired for private functions. Rear alley for smokers.
We have visited this pub 8 times, seen 19 different beers and tried 7 of them.
