Landlord knows his booze: great beer/cider range and selection, lots of good whiskies and even quality absinthe served properly (no shots or fire here). Ploughmans-style food, laid-back staff .
Just outside the pub it has been written "best pub in london " and no doubt it is the best, amazing collection of ales , lagers and ciders , and they keep on changing, a friendly barman and decent crowd.
They claim to be the best pub in London - and I definitely won't argue with them! Try and come for the ragtime jazz & blues on Thursdays - perfect accompaniment to a delicious ale .
Beers selection is second to none. No mainstreams here. Plenty of exclusives and seasonals on circulation you won’t get elsewhere. Sample everything on tap , try something from the fridge !
Queens Head pale ale (the house brew ) is a tasty, easy drinking session beer . Also very nice staff , ask for suggestions or a sampler of anything on tap .
My favourite pub around King's Cross. Extremely wide range of independent ales , ciders , spirits that's always changing. Free blues and jazz some nights.
A super little neighbourhood pub in Bloomsbury with an inspired beer selection , cheese and meat boards, and thoughtful design touches. There’s live music , comedy and a regular quiz. Read more
Certainly the best pub if near King's Cross. Very cosy and good beer selection .
Great choice of interesting craft beers and craft lagers and the people behind the bar are great too.
Being a free pub , there is a large selection of beers and ciders for all tastes. The food is above average and affordable , such as the homemade pies !
What an absolute gem. Haven't seen a pub so avid and ambitious when it comes to stocking the most unique beers . Their bottle selection alone is unparalleled. Deserves success.
Love the Bee Sting Pear Cider . Fab pub . Great pub bar snacks . Staff are ace too.
A great place to spend an evening. Good selection of beers and ciders and the atmosphere is lovely!
Ragtime on Thursdays - and always a nice cask section on the handpull.
Claims to be the best pub in London ... It may well be! Great people and great pub for a great price. Damn, this is a good one.
Good, if not large, choice of draft beers and great cheese & pickle sandwiches .
Very good beer selection . The Kernel brewery is definitely recommended. Pork pies were also good here.
A lovely pub with an always great selection of craft beer
For the premises itself it is worth a visit. The Beer selection is good but better documented on the other tips hear. Definitely worth a visit.
Impressed with this pub on my first visit. Interesting beers and friendly staff . A winner!
Try one of the porters or a stout - there's always a couple of blinders available draught or more available bottled.
Nice pub with cheap drinks near St Pancras - very nice ambiance owners are very cool !
This place is a block or 2 away from St. Pancras/Kings Cross Tube Station . Very friendly staff with a great beer selection .
Tremendous pub . Always a good beer selection .
Good service . Friendly place. Order the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie , just delicious!
They regularly have Kernel on tap . Today it's the pale ale ; other times it's the table beer or the porter .
You have to try the bee sting cider is the best! Really tasty :)
Brilliant selection of craft beers and nice staff
Small garden on the back is lovely and you can smoke there...
Get a meat and/or cheese platter - gorgeous!!! The blue cheese is to die for
A great pub , great beer selection and great ambiance.
Fantastic ploughman's plate but disappointed to find they don't serve butter with the bread ! Margarine?! It's not world war 2 anymore...
Great pub with jazz performance .
Not bad. £5 for a pint is a little steep but still worth a visit.
Good beer and nice place
Awesome collection of international craft beers
Unpretentious place for a drink
The Elephant School ale will put hairs on your chest!
Friendly staff , ask them for beverage advice.
Order yourself a pork pie ! You won't be sorry!
They have great beers here including Licher Weizen hefe!
The food isn't particularly inspiring (sandwiches only) but beer selection is good
Nice local beers .
Music , beer , atmosphere.
Ran out of cask ales on a Friday night!
Proper pub , with proper beer .

Try the Weizen. Delicious
They good beer snack but not dinner food.
Great weitz beer !
Beer selection here is incredible and the food platters are spot on! - James Southorn
Stunning beer selection! Lots of imports and craft beers from around the world and not too outrageously priced for being right* next to Tower Bridge. - Amanda Foley
Lovely cosy pub with outdoor seating. Nice mulled wine and I like the Modelo drink they do :) - Mona
Halloween all-nighter, better than expected! Only £6 ticket in advance, music venue turned club for the night so pretty big dance space. Loved the mix of indie, throwbacks but also more rnb/ mixes. - Rio Nichols
The service is great and the food is fresh and tasty- the honest burger is top-notch - Des Leo
Amazing burgers & ales, book as it's very crowded during weekends. Big portions! - Alessia Camera
