One of the best pubs in London. Friendly service and so many different cask ales every week. Even play the twin peaks theme tune occasionally. Very underrated pub that deserves a visit!
Best pub in the area with a good beer selection on cask & keg. The food from the recently revamped kitchen is well worth a try. Good roof terrace for when the weather is favourable.
This place never disappoints. Friendly staff and great range of beers. Has a cute little roof terrace but gets pretty packed, so you'll be lucky to get a seat.
Rotating selection of fart inducing crafty beers. Far less ambitious wine list 😒 Has an often forgotten about bonus roof terrace. Occasional fruit fly infestations and/or bleach aroma.
Melissa MawbyApril 3, 2013Great rooftop bar with heated lamps and lots of seating! Just go through the dark door in the back. Also, the hipster bartender will give you a half pint of beer if you ask for a taste.
Kim PhamJune 26, 2016Low-key one of the best pubs in the area. The true hidden gem is the rooftop beer garden. Perfect for a lazy summer Sunday!
Classic old pub with many unique beer selections. Gets crowded on Friday nights with the local after work crowd.
Soon many great beers but also so busy! Food is good to especially the pulled pork or cheesy chips!
Never empty, but for good reason - this place has a great selection of craft beers and real ales, and the food looks pretty good too. If only there were free tables to eat it on!
Dena HaghsayJanuary 25, 2017I had the pork schnitzel and it was REALLY AWESOME. They have this beer called wise-beer I guess,and it really has a great taste and aroma- Neil PearsonMarch 9, 2014The rooftop beer garden is a lovely hidden oasis of tranquility. Excellent craft beer selection, perfectly crispy chips and a salt beef sandwich of the highest standard.
Andrea CampiApril 17, 2017Very pretty pub with tons of choice in terms of beers. Rooftop garden is very pleasant.
Great place for craft beer and food. Scotch eggs are delicious and they have a £10 meal with a drink lunch deal, Monday to Thursday.
My favourite pub in this part of town. Infallible selection of wonderful beers, well kept, great venue, rooftop garden if you're lucky.
David BakerOctober 11, 2015Amazing selection of cask and keg ales. Really good food as well. Roof terrace perfect in the summer
- Phil MarkhamNovember 5, 2018Just to make clear - great pub though the OF is - it isn't in Hoxton. The parish of St Lukes still counts as Clerkenwell (was in the old borough of Finsbury NOT Shoreditch)
Dertie BixonNovember 15, 2014Extensive craft beer selection. Hidden gem for this area. Don't tell everyone!
Kevin McCulleyJune 29, 2015A wide selection of craft beers and a great little rooftop terrace make this a gem
Best old boozer in Shoreditch. Excellent craft beer too!
You can have mustard and pickle with the salt beef if you want ..... Great sandwich .... Ask Jill for what's good at lunchtime.
Benn GMarch 7, 2012New carpet. Coat of paint. It's no upmarket swanky joint but by gosh, it's quality craft beer and it still feels like a boozer.
Hit the roof terrace and get a salt beef sandwich with your craft beer.
Awesome lunches. Corned beef hash, fried egg + baked beans.. lush.
