Thanks to its location this pub is popular with tourists, being handy for many of the Bloomsbury hotels. It's a T & J Bernard pub, so expect a good range of decent beers on the hand pumps, ordinary, but decent enough, pub grub as well as a typical range of wines and spirits. It is a pretty ordinary pub and does the job competently enough, it's a good fall back when the more atmospheric pubs around these parts are either full or closed. (The Swan's open later than most nearby).
