Evening. Has the feel of an office-workers' venue.

I moved on here from the Temple Brew House as that pub was too crowded for comfort in the early evening. More comfortable here for only my second ever visit to this pub. A beer called 'Over the Top' also available, but I know not from which brewery it came.
BeerABVScoreNotes
St Austell - Tribute4.20AcceptableAn over-chilled, over-priced and rather bland pint of Bitter.

The pub is found in Temple, Central London, WC2R 3LD.

A traditional, street corner pub in Little Essex Street. Not to be confused with Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese off Fleet Street. Close to Temple station, but slightly tucked away and attracting more of a loyal local office workers crowd than passers-by. Has small bar areas on three levels including a Games Room in the basement. Main ground floor bar is dark wood panelled. Acquired by Shepherd Neame in summer 2018, closed for refurbishment then re-opened. Closed again then re-opened autumn 2022 but rarely selling real ale. Now leased by Shepherd Neame to Blighty Pub Company with regular cask ale back on then but not so from 2023. Closed then reopened mid-October 2024 under Wellman Taverns management and reported open seven days a week.

We have visited this pub twice, seen 7 different beers and tried 2 of them.
