RIP: All Bar One - Marylebone

"Odd looking ABO this one, well by their standards anyway - outside the pub is covered in flowers and the frontage onto the street is quite small and there are some seats outside for some ‘al fresco’ drinking. Don’t let this put you off though as once inside typical ABO proportions (the pub has better seating but worse acoustics than The Dusk on the corner) are the name of the game. Service was definitely above standards on my visit. This makes a nice change as a: they did table service; b: the staff even helped my colleague mop up his spilt pint (honestly, I can’t take him anywhere); and c: our first round of Guinness came back with hearts instead of the usual shamrock carved into the top. Before Friday I didn’t know this place existed, but I wouldn’t be too disappointed to come here again…"
