Operator: Independent
55 Britton Street, Clerkenwell, EC1M 5UQ (View on Google Map)

Opened in 1996 as a re-creation of an 18th-century tavern. After over 20 years as the Jerusalem Tavern it was reopened in March 2022 in its current guise. The pub is now run by the building's owners but the tie up with St Peter's brewery remains for the time being. The decor is bare wooden floors and bare walls, with a mixture of wooden chairs and tables.

Historic Interest

Conversion

A merchant?s house dated 1719 which became a coffee shop and was converted by St Peter?s Brewery into a three-roomed pub that re-creates an C18 tavern. It has a well-preserved early C19 wooden shop front. The decor is bare wooden floors and bare walls, with wooden chairs and tables, all done in a nicely understated way. The food menu is basic, there are several ales and ciders on offer. Grade II-listed. Closed at weekends.
