Wednesday during the evening peak and just time for a quick pint before moving on to a retirement do. Busy but excellent service and enthusiastic staff. It must be ages since I was last here because I remember seeing some new invention called Prestel on my previous visit.

With West Ham playing Chelsea tonight there is a little bit of tension in the air around Liverpool Street in the early evening. This pub has bouncers on the door and I am obliged to drink my pint out of a plastic tub. Greene King house beer also available.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Grubber | 4.20 | | A golden beer; less offensive than I was expecting. Has a soft mouthfeel, but lacks the usual GK Crystal Malt tang. |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Morland Old Golden Hen | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - London Glory | 4.10 | Not Tried |

Predictably busy at the height of the evening rush hour. There was also a house beer on sale, the details of which I did not note.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Fireside | 4.50 | | Chestnut-coloured beer. Vaguely malty, but thin and lacking in body, despite being described as a ‘Full-bodied Ale’ on the pump clip. Hard to believe it is 4.5% |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in City, Central London, EC2M 7NX.
This pub, in Liverpool Street, may have been established as early as 1736 and was rebuilt in its present form in the 1850s, at which time it was called the Cow House and attracted a clientele from nearby livestock markets. But the building of Broad Street Station in 1865 and Liverpool Street Station in 1874 gave a whole new customer base right across the road, which has kept the pub full on weekday evenings ever since. It is a big pub, with two ground floor bars and an upstairs bar as well. Today owned by Greene King, it was formerly a Whitbread house.
We have visited this pub 3 times, seen 7 different beers and tried 3 of them.
