FAP Rating 3 - Click for an explanation of our ratings
The All Bar One formula writ large. Clean lines with wooden floors, benches, chairs and tables mean every voice echoes and bounces off every surface. Don't go there for a good conversation - go for a good nod. But the formula works. A decent range of beers, including London Pride and - on this visit - a specially wide range of fizzy yellow stuff representing a European beer week. Attractive, young white-unformed staff will offer the change from the marginally overpriced drinks on a tip-pleading saucer. And they can never answer my my favourite All Bar One question - where is the Beano in the 'newspaper and Beano' dispenser? So what lingers? In the spirit of Fancyapint? reviewers you have to look around. And a glance upwards stunned me at the combination of fans and extractors clinging on to that ceiling. For a moment I thought I was in the Tate Modern. But no it was an All Bar One.
