|---|---|---|---|
| Clark's (sometimes shown as Westgate Brewery) - Straight Flush | 4.00 | | Very pale and citrussy with a good clean hoppy finish. Brewed by Ossett for Clark's as they don't have the capacity for such a large batch for Wetherspoon. My score 16/20. |

The pub is found in City, Central London, EC3V 0DR.
Big and busy JDW pub in the heart of the City in Gracechurch Street. Huge sports screen on one wall. Wonderful building with lots of high ceilings and marble. The lights in particular are worth noting. Oval bar towards the rear serves numerous handpumps (I saw 18) including guest beers not on the JDW usual guest list. This is definitely worth going to if you are in the City during the week.
We have visited this pub 89 times, seen 401 different beers and tried 181 of them.
