picture of HennessysLooking after a regular city clientele, this one's not as manic as many others in the square mile, and fits the bill if you're after a quieter drink of an evening. The upstairs restaurant takes care of those looking for lunch and is well worth a look - you'd expect a place that doubles as a caterers to have above average food and it does. We'll endeavour to sample the food at the earliest opportunity, perhaps in conjunction with a look at the pub's other unique selling point: a roof garden. For the moment though, we know it as a decent enough boozer, which in itself is a rare enough thing in the City these days.
