The Crown, Farringdon 2nd March 2007

Work colleagues persuaded me into a pub which is usually far too busy for me to frequent. It was only 4pm and relatively quiet.

Adnam's Bitter (3.7%): Delicious 'proper' bitter which on a Friday afternoon was very welcome. I do like this beer.

I suppose I have to face the fact that this is a very good pub. The beer is kept well, they have a range of malt whiskies as well as a range of Belgian beers.

As long as its not Thursday or Friday after about 5.30pm, you might even get served within a few minutes.

Oh and there's a great space to sit outside on Clerkenwell Green in the warmer months.
