Late-afternoon and sparsely populated. A rather awkwardly-shaped place I felt.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Rooster's - Twenty-Fifth Anniversary4.30ExcellentGolden and clear. A nice blend of hop flavours.
Fourpure - British Strawberry & Cream Sour4.00ExcellentFrom key-keg. Hazy gold in colour. Lots of strawberries, lots of cream, not much sour.

Busy in here. Definitely attracting a City Boy (rather than East End) clientele.

The pub is found in Old Street, Central London, EC1V 9NR.

A new addition to the Draft House chain which opened in May 2016 in Old Street. It is on two levels, with the bar at the higher level, and has some outside tables. Décor is a sort of retro 1990s industrial chic with lots of exposed ducts and metalwork. Very convenient for Old Street station. Subsequently renamed with the AF standing for alcohol free (well no beers more than 0.5% ABV are sold). Closed by BrewDog then subsequently re-opened with a new name as sports bar in May 2024.

We have visited this pub 3 times, seen 10 different beers and tried 4 of them.
