Reviews
"Beautifull interior, great service, nice selection of beer and gin. Interesting history, we would recommend getting a guided tour of the place."
"Big fan of this pub. It's a lovely old gin palace with the original decorations still intact. They do excellent toasted sandwiches if you need a snack to keep you going."
"A beautiful old pub with lots of brilliant cut and gilded glass from the 1930's. Great toasted sandwiches and a huge selection of gin. Helpful and friendly bar staff doing very well to manage some overly loud and obnoxious customers sadly present on my most recent visit."
"Small, single room Victorian pub, directly opposite the Old Bailey; hence its former occupancy, forming part of Newgate Prison. Corner location and attractive curved front profile. Lots of natural light inside; enhanced by wall frescos, a high ceiling and ornate up-lighters. Fuller’s beers, craft ales and plenty of other drink options. Also one of the best gin selections I’ve ever seen - it was also formally a Gin Palace! The food options are fairly simple but still good. Friendly staff. All-in-all, definitely worth five stars."
"Nice historic pub with great selection of beers and ales. They do gin and tonics in balloon glass and they have a huge selection of gins, very tasty done! Staff are not very friendly though but quick and fast service is provided."
