Pub Watch: Jerusalem Tavern (Farringdon, London)
Making sure I visit all my favourite spots around town before the imminent departure, Thursday night was the turn of one of my favourtie pubs - Jerusalem Tavern. The Good Beer Guide says a "tiny pub with a huge reputation". And there is not doubting that, everytime I go there the place is always pack, and in Thursday's case, spilling out on the road.Inside is small and bare, lots of wood and candles with a medieval feel - which is fitting as a pub has stood on the site since at least the 14th century. The beers inside are all from the St Peters Brewery, who brew a large variety of unique, if not always brialliant, beers. Though the bottles that the beers come in - large medicine-type - bottles always attract interest, and the taps mounted as barrels in the wall behind the bar are also a little different.
I'll certainly miss going to this place, always has a great atmosphere and just that little bit quirky.

Hey Sam - great timing. I've always thought short beer lines were a great option and these guys have done it well, with those barrel tops as features. Short lines are common in USA but not here, where the lines go under the floor and up to the front of the bar - causing capital $, wastage $ and temperature quality issues!).
Keep up the good "research".

Mr Noslocin's looking pretty sharp with those glasses too. A welcome return, I reckon.
