Couple of visits either side of a formal lunch at Drapers Hall. Barn of a place - great decor.
Sampled a house bitter at 3.9 labelled as Broad Street Brew - plain and forgettable.

I was tempted into this pub by the unexpected sound of live music in a City pub. ‘Showcasing some of London’s Best Live Music Acts’ said the sign. It shows how much off the pace I am these days that I was surprised to hear that ‘London’s Best Live Music Acts’ play Cream cover versions.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jo C's - Bitter Old Bustard | 4.30 | | I know these kind of beers are very popular, but brown bitters with tangy Crystal malt and faded hops do not do it for me. (If I had been told it was GK IPA I would not have questioned it). |
| Nethergate (was Nethergate Growler for a while then name reverted) - Augustinian | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Hogs Back - England's Glory | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Redemption - Pale Ale | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Phoenix Best Bitter | 3.80 | Not Tried |

19:30 Packed with young City workers. The noise of their shouted conversations was deafening.
