Nice atmosphere and service. This is my local and I've noticed it never smells like stale beer or a gent's toilet unlike Hillary Step next door or the otherwise fantastic Carlton Club down the road: here, they offer interesting spirit combinations on request and, as a cider drinker myself, there's usually an option for me. The crowd is usually friendly without undesirable come ons. While it feels very LGBT friendly, I have met both anti and pro trans folk here, but such is life. Spacious seating and interesting decor with two outdoor options, one directly in the sunlight until evening until the spring and summer late evenings, the other providing cover from the rain for smokers or outdoor loners.
