This is the latest outlet to be opened by Bloomsbury Leisure Group, hence is sister to the Euston Tap. Stranded is close to Charing Cross mainline station, at the eastern end of the splendid West Strand building, the very large triangular site split in two on its Strand frontage by the imposing glass entrance doors of Coutts Bank. There is an entrance on the Strand and another one round the corner on William IV Street.
There is a 13-metre Czech-built bar with four ale handpumps at the right hand end of the bar as you look at it, and against the rear wall, not on the bar. The T-bar of five rotating keg beers is adjacent, mostly from smaller brewers at date of this entry. The main feature of the bar - at left hand side- are the Budvar dispenses with Original, Nefiltr (unfiltered), Dark and 0.0% and more. These are served in two-thirds measures in larger tankards, and three different pours are available: Hladinka (a full pour with a generous layer of silky foam on top), Šnyt (a smaller pour with more foam) and Mlíko (a mug of wet, sweet foam favoured in Czech pubs). Specialised glass washing/cooling is alongside.
There is a noodle bar on site for eats and the coffee bar is open from 8am. Note that under the terms of the licence alcohol may not be served until 10am Mondays to Saturdays or before noon on Sundays; nor within 20 minutes of the venue closing times.
