CC London Spring Party - ALL BAR ONE - THE SHAD: Fiday 8 April

Gone for LMNH, if only on the basis that I've never been there (wot???).

 

[Sittingduck]

The Crown or the Founders arms for me! Would do the P-House if pushed

 

[Tynan]

Crown, Clerkenwell sq is quite cool for middle London and there's worse things than lawyers to fill a pub on a Friday, they do like a drink and they're bright

But any proper pub near a tube is fine with me

I never go to Covent Garden, full up with once a year drinkers and tourists, how did that even make the list?

 

[redjedi]

Couldn't do multiply votes so went for "Don't care"

Wouldn't be disappointed to miss out on the All Bar One, would much rather a decent pint/bottle than a good view.

 

[dellzeqq]

All Bar One. I don't care about the booze. I just want to sit lock my bikes to the railings and sit outside with a few mates, with a bit of elbow room. LMNH would do. The Founders Arms would do - just. The Crown gives me the pip.

+1
But I won't have my bike

 

[Aperitif]

+1
But I won't have my bike

Well, that's a -1 then, not a +1.

POLL!

I have frequented the Crown in Clerkenwell on a number of occasions and it takes too bloody long to get served. Pretty please no!

I've never been but based on the above I'm not in a rush to go.

The Porterhouse is hidden away a bit and so tends to be missed by the tourist crowd (do they ever get further than the Punch and Judy) but it does get full of suits.

Hi I'm Ian and this is where I am...
If Her Welshness is going to join us then I am going to go where ever she is.. simples...

But personally I have gone for the All Bar One as it's nice and easy to get to...and at least it does London Pride.. doesn't it?

 

[Davywalnuts]

Being of the young and tasteless mind, two dogs Davy will be taking a half day off, or I wont be there till 9pm. So hence forth, I will be in london about 4pm, admiring the views, sun and skirt from AllBarOne. There after, I really dont mind going anywhere else, but I get itchy feet so cant stand being in the same sweaty box for too long..

So, anyone joining me early?

Heee heee..my giggling has just echoed around the Library. Right back at you Ian

But yes SE1 land is very easy and Shad Thames is very near to London Bridge.

If I decide that my temperate side can have a day off, I'll be there early-ish as I'm off all day. It depends how my trip up north goes, if I drink there I may as well go to this shindig!

I voted for All Bar One too as that one is not a bad pub.

Not wanting to disappoint Ian, but also myself and other beer drinkers, I have just checked their web site and this branch has the following beers:


Yes there is lots of Eurofizz (and worse), they don't do Pride any more, but the last one is a genuine English draft ale, served by the pint. They may well have others but I can't get through as their phone is engaged.
