One of the capital's most pioneering pubs, thanks no doubt to the demands of the artisan local population. There is gallery space for art of a quality that surpasses that of almost every other joint that has since attempted the emulate the Sun. Classic film showings are held every Tuesday and regular live performances from musicians talented enough not attempting to scrape a living off the pub circuit are a common occurrence.

Food, booze and just about everything else you could want from a public house are only describable using gross numbers of superlatives. You get the gist- it's a place worth crawling to with two broken legs (although you'd probably want to get them fixed in the neighbouring hospital beforehand...)
