Oct 2024 - there had been problesm with the handpumps, we were informed that there was an air leak which spoiled the beer's condition. - some of the pumps now repaired and the pub has made a tentative step into the cask beer world with Doom Bar.
May 2023 - reopened under new management and have stated that there will be more real ale pumps (as you can see above this has not happened) on and sports bar facilities (will still retain the Irish link). New operator operating on a Stonegate lease for 5 years. Praeclara Ltd is described as a new PubCo. The nearest underground station is Kilburn = Brondesbury being on the overground.
Previously -
Acquired by Ross Grady, Angus Stevenson, and Crusoe Millar, who bought the lease in January 2017. Mr Grady, who with his friends runs the Colonel Fawcett in Camden Town and the Smugglers Arms in Warren Street, said: “It’s the first pub that feels like a traditional pub that we hope to restore to its original beauty. We will up the anti with drink offers and live traditional Irish music every Saturday night.”
He added: “The essence of the pub was in good shape, with wood cladding we wanted to keep. We’ve basically worked top down, breathed new life into it with new colour schemes but generally working with what’s there already.” They also have a nice selection of bottled/canned beers but at a price. Pub looks in good shape, two nice rooms with lots of wood panelling. Upstairs room now operates as a restaurant.
This Pub serves no changing beers and 1 regular beer.
