Newly refurbished pub directly opposite Harper-Collins publishers in Hammersmith which benefits from a regular clientele of frustrated auteur intellectuals bitching about the delights of working for Rupert Murdoch and sucking back an impressive amount of booze. Lovely publishing ladies can be found here.
The beer array is tasty and they also have fancy snacks, and the new Regal Room upstairs is fast becoming one of the best live music and comedy venues in the area. The new management are friendly and proactive, and greet customers by name. This pub has come on a lot and is now an oasis of classy drinking on the Fulham Palace Road.
