Astonished to hear yesterday that this pub now has its own brewery; I had to visit to try the beer. I spent most of the time standing in a corner trying to reconcile the reality of the crowded little bar with my rose-tinted memories of many nights here back in the pub’s 1980s glory years. Not one thing looked familiar on my first visit in 25 years plus.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bloomsbury - Hoppy IPA | 4.20 | | A reasonably good, golden beer with plenty of hop character. |
| Bloomsbury - Best Bitter | 4.10 | | A rather dull, brown beer, seemingly aimed at the GK IPA / Doom Bar drinker. Borderline two stars. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Bloomsbury, Central London, WC1N 3NB.
This pub in Lambs Conduit Street was established by the 1820s as the Sun and blossomed in the late-1970s, early-1980s as London’s original guest beer pub, selling a range of beers from regional brewers around the country. Renamed the Perseverance in the 1990s it lapsed back into relative obscurity. It is a street corner pub, with a fairly small ground floor bar and a lounge on the first floor. A micro-brewery was installed in the cellar in 2014 but it closed in 2016.
We have visited this pub 3 times, seen 6 different beers and tried 3 of them.
