Jerusalem Tavern in Islington

The staff now are very officious. The manner by which we were ejected was offensive. We used to love this pub but the current staff were offended when we “were not standing” to show our willingness to leave even after us explaining we were waiting one of our party to return from the toilet. An otherwise charming venue spoilt by staff who were unnecessarily rude. We won’t return there anytime soon.

Really nice little find, cute old style pub...get there early if want a seat...really nice after work vibe

Is pub that's been on my list to drink at for a while and today I've managed to pop in, I was not disappointed.Good selection of beer, really friendly barman and and open fire which was needed as it was a little wet.I would recommend this pub if you like good ale.

Our group of 5 Norwich City away fans have been restricted to weekend games in London for a long time so as soon as we got tickets for a midweek away match at Tottenham my pub route was arranged with a start at the Jerusalem Tavern.The manager had always responded to my emails quickly and on this occasion booked us in for a table straight away.We arrived on time and discovered the table was best location in the pub and stayed for over 90 minutes to have a couple of pints and hot lunch.Between us we had the ham eggs and chips, sausage and mash and my choice the fish finger butty and chips. They were all excellent and washed down with the great selection of St Peters ales ( which was original reason for looking up the pub ).The atmosphere, service, beers and food were all excellent and it was a great experience for us all. We will be back and if not for a pre match beer will be with my partner when we next visit London.

Visité The Jerusalem esta semana por primera vez. Un gran pub real con un poco de cerveza de barril de Peters Street. Estaba lleno y lleno de ambiente. nosotros (8 de nosotros) logramos movernos alrededor de una mesa y nos quedamos un par de horas antes de salir a cenar. Pero podríamos habernos quedado fácilmente toda la noche. Este es un gran pub que espero visitar de nuevo en algún momento.

Farringdon. Il locale si chiama "taverna": ed è proprio questa l'atmosfera che si respira: tavoloni in legno che incoraggiano le conversazioni tra amici (no wifi here!), muri.. scuri e luci appena accennate dove potersi rilassare dopo una giornata lavorativa. Il posto è frequentato quasi esclusivamente dai locali, le birre alla spina sono buone e costano poco. Passare un paio d'ore in questo locale è come fare un' immersione nello stile di vita british. Non ci sono schermi né musica solo conversazioni tra persone. Sui tavoli un fiore in una bottiglia di vetro. Venire qui non è solo un piacere per chi apprezza la birra, è un' esperienza!

Un pub 'bastante' muy bonito con una buena selección de cervezas y cervezas y un buen menú de comida (no probado). Personal muy amable, feliz de conversar sobre la muuucha historia del lugar y de señalar que algunas de las tomas de la película "Judy" fueron filmadas aquí.Un lugar realmente lindo.

With three friends popped in to shelter from the rain and then enjoyed their Best Bitter along with an Individual Homemade Pie which went down really well. The pub dates from the early 1700s and is a step back in time.

Conocí amigos aquí para tomar una copa por la tarde. A todos nos gustó el interior del viejo mundo con muchos rincones acogedores para conversaciones privadas. Una muy buena selección de cervezas reales, incluida la cerveza orgánica de la calle Peters, así como varias cervezas invitadas. La decoración no está exagerada y ciertamente parece ser un interior muy interesante e histórico con una chimenea abierta y asentamientos anticuados. Recomendado.

Comí y bebí en la Taberna de Jerusalén hace varios años y me complació encontrarlo tan bueno en una tarde de mitad de semana. Hay una excelente selección de cervezas, barril y barril, de la calle. Peter's y otras cervecerías. El servicio fue bueno y amable. Es bastante pequeño y se llenó a medida que los trabajadores locales se servían sus bebidas por la tarde. De hecho, cuando me fui, había más clientes bebiendo afuera que adentro. Merecidamente popular, que sobreviva por mucho tiempo.

This is a fine old-school boozer in London. The best ales (from St. Peter’s brewery) and really good simple food. It’s a wonderful setting, an adapted former watch making facility. Slightly out of the way, well worth searching out.

This is not some gussied up gastro pub or wine bar. It’s a proper, no frills pub with excellent beer, a great atmosphere and some food if you want it. It gets busy and can be a bit tight at times but that adds to the atmosphere.

I always stop in for a drink when in Clerkenwell - can be very busy after five. It's got so much atmosphere - well preserved window on past times.

A real charmer. In a Georgian building, it feels very authentic. On the February lunchtime I visited, I had it almost to myself. Delicious lunch of bitter and a beef and horseradish sandwich. Wonderfully peaceful - no horribe 'background music'.

Tengo cervezas de Peter's Brewery en la calle a menudo en casa, pero nunca me di cuenta de que tienen su propio pub en Londres hasta ahora. Realmente es una pequeña joya. Si bien el interior es aparentemente una remodelación de 1990, nunca se daría cuenta de ello, ya que tiene un auténtico sentimiento histórico al respecto. Las cervezas son excelentes y diferentes, no es frecuente que se vea un toque suave en Londres. Teníamos un almuerzo de sándwich y los sándwiches eran fantásticos, rebanadas de pan en la puerta repleta de rellenos. Definitivamente vale la pena una visita.

由於期待與同事的快速訪問，我在線查看了倫敦克拉肯威爾的耶路撒冷酒館。首先，這是因為我不太了解這個地區，並且想知道這家酒吧和餐館是否真的得到了我所聽到的高度讚揚。 Tripadvisor後來通過電子郵件詢問我是否繼續訪問以及我是否寫了評論。對兩者的回答是，“是”基於一個半小時和一半半的印象。

In anticipation of a quick visit with colleagues, I looked up The Jerusalem Tavern, Clerkenwell, London on line. Primarily, this was because I don't know the area that well and wondered whether this pub plus eatery really lived up to the high praise I'd heard. Tripadvisor has since emailed asking if I'd gone on to visit and whether I'd write a review. The answer to both was, "Yes" based on impressions gained over an hour and a half and a pint and a half. Sadly, on this occasion, I had nothing to eat as I'd just come from an event elsewhere.

Cannot believe I have never been here before - great pub, good selection of beers and reasonably priced for London. Very busy, but it worked and nice evening to also stand outside.

Great, but tiny pub in Britton street Clerkenwell, London. I think named after the nearby St John of Jerusalem gate in the original London wall. Dates back to 1720s. Cosy small pub where the patrons sometimes cascade onto the street. Nice open fire in winter. Friendly staff and great beers. Well worth a visit in the same street where the Triffids recorded a performance in 1980s or there abouts.

This is a revamped (1990s?) pastiche but based on an old (1720) pub and well worth a visit. The website gives the history; suffice it to say a most characterful pub teeming with customers enjoying the delights of St Peter’s brewery (Suffolk). Interestingly, although the beers were on draught most people were drinking the bottled version, possibly due to the delightful shape - modelled on an old American gin bottle.

I have been visiting this fine establishment for many years and it’s always been a wonderful experience the staff are second to none for a warm welcome, the atmosphere and St Peters Brewery beers are a tonic for all those people who are in need of a great London pub , the food is great too. Do your self a favour and make tracks to one of the best places to unwind in London.

Love this little pub, tiny and a bit on the crowded side at times. But, friendly staff, quick service and good choice of drinks. If you're a fan of old, quirky, buildings and a bit of atmosphere with your pint then you'll enjoy a drink in here. Best not to take bulky bags as is quite cosy, but plenty of hooks for hanging coats.

El pub Peter's Brewery de esta calle se encuentra a 5 minutos a pie de la estación de Farringdon y también del Museo de la Orden de la calle John (vale la pena una visita). El pub lleva el nombre del Priorato de la calle Juan de Jerusalén y se remonta a 1720. Tienen una buena selección de cerveza de barril (ale) y sirven almuerzos los días de semana. Hay una buena selección de menú que incluye opciones para vegetarianos a precios razonables. El ploughmans es particularmente buena relación calidad-precio. Tenga en cuenta que el pub está cerrado los fines de semana.

Con sus tablas de piso desnudo, muebles de madera sencillos, fuego abierto y música y ambiente sin máquinas, la taberna Jerusalem parece prácticamente inalterada desde la época victoriana, excepto que solo abrió sus puertas en 1996. Pero esto no se presenta como un intento de falsa Victoriana y, de hecho, es una pequeña joya para el bebedor y el amante de los bares más exigentes. El edificio es obviamente mucho más antiguo y ha habido un pub del mismo nombre en los alrededores anteriormente. Propiedad de la calle. Peter's Brewery, de East Anglia, ofrece toda la gama de sus excelentes cervezas, inusualmente, no a través de una bomba manual sino a través de grifos ubicados en la parte posterior del bar. No hay buena comida aquí, pero hacen comida sencilla a precios razonables en el almuerzo y en un día frío, sentados junto a la chimenea, el Shin of Beef Stew (9, 50) bajó muy bien. Puede que este lugar no sea del gusto de todos, pero los aficionados a los pubs auténticos no se sentirán decepcionados. Cerrado los fines de semana.

Situada a solo cinco minutos a pie de Farringdon staton (use la salida bastante nueva de Turnmill Street si está abierta cuando visite y corte la estrecha calle Benjamin al lado de la calle. La iglesia de John le aterriza en Britton Street), la taberna de Jerusalem parece ha estado allí para siempre, pero en realidad solo desde 1990, al menos en su forma actual, aunque pague el edificio donde reside de forma desaliñada, como un ermitaño, como lo es en 1720.

Echt uriges Pub, kein Schnickschnack, einfache gemütliche Einrichtung, verwinkeltes Lokal mit viel Bierauswahl. Essen kann man auch aber nicht durchgehend sondern ca bis 14::00 und ab 17:00 wieder. Der Kellner/Barkeeper war total nett und hatte echt Ahnung von seinen Bieren. Fast nur Engländer angetroffen, sehr lässig.

A proper unpretentious non-blinged up pub with great beer at reasonable prices. Love this place and will be back again (and again and again....).

We visited The Jerusalem Tavern for lunch as part of a walking tour of London hostelries. As we were quite a large group we had pre-ordered our food. It arrived promptly, the portions were generous and it was all very reasonably priced. An excellent range of beers to accompany our meals. Efficient, friendly service. A fascinating pub, well worth a visit.

Fui aquí con la descendencia más vieja, un lugar bastante inusual dado pisos desiguales y su historia, aunque no ha estado en este sitio por tanto tiempo.

Like most of the reviewers I appreciated the beers on offer here. All served with a smile which is always a bonus!

Son una calle Pub cervecería Pedro, llevando una amplia variedad de bebidas sabrosas de barril y botella. Probé el de temporada y porter, stout este último nada del otro mundo y la ex muy sabroso. El pub en sí es pequeñita, así que no esperes mucho espacio personal. El servicio fue rápido y cortés. Precios muy decente para esa parte de Londres.

Purely here for the beer as I've been drinking St Peter's brewery beer in my local supermarket for a while. It didn't disappoint with a fine selection of ales and a pleasant interior.

Although the building predates the pub this is like a time machine in London. The drinking area is divided in to small booths and you can imagine being transported back a 100 years or more.

I have been using the Jerusalem Tavern since about 2010. Until about 18 months ago they had great food, but the chef, Luigi, left and it's been downhill since then. for about a year they only did bought in pies (which they tended to overlook!). But today I had a really awful beef stew. Luke warm, dry, awful grissaly meat and mainly made up of a gluttonous dumpling, accompanied by peas. I have been feeling sick all afternoon.

This has always been one of my favourite boozers in London and every time I go there, I always struggle to find it. I arrived early at 1145 for a pre-lunchtime pint with a mate as there are very few tables. This Farringdon bar feels like it is centuries old and thankfully doesn't have a trace of that false gastropub, Farrow & Ball heritage paint bullshine you see everywhere in Britain these days. The wooden floor is scuffed, paint is peeling and the knackered tables are coated with what looks like centuries-worth of spilled pints.

Un vrai plongeon dans le monde des londoniens. Barman accueillant et de bon conseil en matière de bières locales. Choix de repas relativement restreint mais varié cependant. Prix très raisonnable et repas très bon, bien que manquant légèrement d'assaisonnement (notamment la sauce gravy, un peu fade).

A country brewery pub in central London... The beer was excellent and the barman very hospitable... Not brave enough to stay longer than the two pints to try the food.... Recommend it? If you love your beer....YES

A colleague introduced me several years ago to the Jerusalem Tavern, located a block west of St. John's Gate in Clerkenwell. It serves tasty ale from St. Peter's Brewery in Suffolk in an interior that looks as if it's a couple hundred years old but dates, in fact, to the 1990s. It gets very crowded and it's often difficult to approach the bar. Nevertheless, the ale is worth the trip, as is the atmosphere. And it's a mere ten minute walk north to Exmouth market for some proper dinner afterwards.

We went here for lunch and the pub was quite empty, mainly beer drinkers.

Lovely atmospheric pub, which sells beers and ales from St Peters Brewery, which is based in Suffolk. Really close to Smithfield market, and lovely to visit for a pint. Small, so assume you may stand, unless you get there early enough. A must for a pint in that area of central London

Met two City friends for a quick lunch in this "fake" old world pub but that is not meant to...

Qué encantador pub que sirve cerveza peculiar y muy buena comida.

Genial para una bebida, es muy difícil conseguir una mesa, lo cual es la única razón de su categoría de 4 No de 5. Gran pretendía hacer en general!

Mi hijo tiene sólo cambiaron a una pantalla frente a esta taberna. Así que tomamos un par de copas. El personal es muy amable. Muy buena atmósfera, y creo que hacer la comida, aunque no tuvimos tiempo para probar. Seguro que volveré.

Soy muy buena para ale. Entonces vine aquí. El lugar es bueno, pero también de Jesús María y José de cosa. Ordenar Sí, este lugar tiene el ambiente de una posada con no tener cerveza. ¿Dónde está el duende Hill o pálido de la ciudad Beaver cervezas?

Este es un viejo pub que recibe e inusual muy lleno, así que esperar a estar de pie. La decoración es muy simple y revestimiento de madera. No ale. El servicio es eficiente en vez de amable. Si te gusta un tipo diferente de pub luego pop aquí. Más de un par de copas después del trabajo en algún pub que llevar a su familia.

went here for the first time last night for a quick beer which turned into a long beer!!! Tucked away in the back streets of Farringdon and as soon as I entered the pub I knew it was going to be a late night!I loved the rustic look about this place. The bar staff was very friendly and I liked being in a small cosy bar without any background music drinking good beer, what more can you ask for! Just a shame this is 9 miles away from my home which is probably a good thing as I could easily see myself becoming a regular!

Sobald man durch die Tür geht macht man einen Sprung in die Vergangenheit. Spartanische Einrichtung, aber Biere gibts hier! Wenn man Zeit zum Verkosten hat, kommt man als Bierliebhaber ganz auf seine Kosten.

No fuss old style pub with with a great selection of st Peters ales and bitters It does have other drinks and a really good atmosphere.

Visiting this small traditional pub was a great pleasure. The selection of Ales on tap were excellent.

Apparemment, il y a une taverne ici depuis le 14ème siècle dans ce superbe endroit où est distribué les bières de la St Peter's Brewery. Bières d'excellentes factures (une milk stout à tomber). J'ai gouté un vin blanc anglais excellent (oublié le nom) Un endroit un peu encombré à certaines heures...

Living in Lincolnshire I visit London on business and can't wait to get out and back to proper pubs......,! Hold the press London just got better the St. Peter's brewery is one I know from crafts beers available in lots of super markets but to be able to buy it in its own tavern Fantastic.This is a jewel in Londons crown don't leave without a visit staff very friendly lovely safe area great beer make an effort impress a friend and take them therePete

Wonderful historic pub hidden in the back streets of Farringdon. Wide range of beer in barrels, whch you can sip in a dickensian feeling nook. It does get a bit busy though. A London gem. No rubbish background musak either.

My favourite pub in London!! The Jerusalem tavern is utterly unique....a tiny, quirky, bustling historic pub in the heart of Clerkenwell selling the full range of award winning beers and ales from Suffolk brewery St Peter's. The interior of the pub is a hark back to the London coffee houses of the 17th century and has been used as a location for several period films and TV shows. The staff are welcoming and knowledgeable and the cosy interior is enhanced with antique furniture and open fires. Nothing like it in London.

What an amazing pub! It's absolutely tiny and will remind you of something out of Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. Great atmosphere, great selection of craft beer and amazing atmosphere. You will be lucky to get a seat so be prepared to stand and move around a bit but it's worth it.

A great find fantastic range of beers without being gassed. Pleasant staff who can not have been more helpful. Interesting display of illustrations for sale decorated the bar.

A genuinely interesting and unique setting with a bespoke range of beers. Lovely old building with loads of character. You probably won't get a seat even on week night, but as long as you know that it shouldn't bother you. In spite of being busy there was very quick service. Worth another visit.

It is a tiny place, so it fills very quickly and people spill out onto the street. Just take this into account and feel lucky if you manage to secure the table.Very climatic place, best for drinks and chatty atmosphere. It is just something artistic about it, a feel-good factor. I visited Jerusalem in the working week and during Friday drinks. It was much calmer during the week, with the poetry-writing type of ambiance. On Fridays it is a cauldron of ideas.

One of the best pubs in London. With plenty, if not all, of St. Peters brewery's beers it's an absolute wonder to visit.

Visited this pub on recommendation with a friend, great beers from a small company based in East Anglia. Barman that day was very friendly and helpful. Only downside only open Monday to Friday! Cannot wait until my next Friday off to visit again!

Abbiamo visitato questo pub su consiglio di un amico appassionato di birra e siamo rimasti piacevolmente soddisfatti. Birra buona a prezzi onesti. E' peculiare come alle 16.30 si riempia di gente che sorseggia birra in compagnia , non ragazzi o ubriaconi , professionisti in gruppo che parlano delle proprio giornate. Consigliato!

This is a real London pub. The food is simple but really tasty, great steak & kidney pie and a lovely pint. There are no creature comforts but it oozes character and the staff are very friendly.

A nice characterful pub serving Beers from St Peters brewery in Norfolk. Prices seemed very reasonable for London on our visit. The interior feels like something out of Dickens but I believe it has only been a pub since the 1990's

How can one of my favourite, local pubs be so far away? Easy! It's The Jerusalem Tavern. Part of a small row of early 18th century buildings 4 or 5 minutes' walk from Farringdon station, it looks the part in every way. Interesting draft beers and various bottles are the stars of the show. It even has alcohol-free beer on tap.The stars of this pub are definitely the beers. They are from the St Peters Brewery in Suffolk, and if that's not enough you have even more of the same brewery's beers in bottles, you can even take them home! This is not a large pub, it's the size of your average front room and dining room. Wooden floors, subdued lighting, no music and lots of communal benches encourage conversation. Because of its small size there is often a crowd outside in the street. On previous visits there has been artwork for sale on the walls. The building is part of a small early 1700s terrace, and the atmosphere just feels as though it's been there for almost as long, although I do believe the pub is quite a modern addition to the street. The brewery team should be very proud of their work.The staff are all wonderful and friendly, the customers all look the part too. I've never tried the food, so I can't comment on that. If only the brewery would open a few more in London to spread the good word!

And it is small and steeped with History. You can small the history as soon as you walk in the door. Just a pity they don't do food as that would keep you there to drink some more of the St Peter's Brewery Ales

Based on a couple visits, I'd offer the opinion that that is a great pub to grab a pint in Clerkenwell. Small, but atmospheric. St Peters beer on tap.

Small pub but a great surprise on our visit that it was a micro brewery with its own beer. great welcome but even better choice of beers. Stayed much longer than expected because of the excellent beer.You should visit. We will.

Great little find in Farringdon, just a short walk from the tube station... Real ale boozer, lots of choice of beer, typical London stand out side and have a after work drink pub, very small in side but service was super fast and organised - I opted for a pint of the Organic Ale, and it was very pleasing and went down well, if drinking outside you are provided with a plastic glass, really great, really old worth a visit if in the area.....

This is one of my favorite pubs in London. It is very small, but worth squeezing in and tasting its home brews - St. Peter's. Food is also excellent and staff is cool.

Always busy, go on a nice evening and sit outside. Whole place is straight out of Dickens; not to be missed

Old, historical watering hole. Good selection of beers and snacks - good old pork pies and scotch eggs. Large crowd gathers at the end of the day. Unexpectedly had a bunch of Morris dancers pitch up and perform outside in the street - free, authentic entertainment. Ended up spending the whole afternoon here!

Una taverna muy vieja que mantiene su aire de antigua, ideal para tomar unas cervezas antes de seguir el camino a la estacion de trenes.

Marvelous little pub with glutenfree beer. It was a great little pub with two glutenfree beer. I will come back here every time i´m in London!

Shorter review than usual here I guess as this is just about the beer. Good range of St Peters beers and some guests on draft and in bottles. Very small but characterful pub which means that at busy times you are more likely to be sitting outside. Table sharing is mandatory

This is one of my favourite drinking spots in London and have been here many times.Good selection of beer and ales at ridiculously good prices (for London) and always has a great atmosphere. Something charming and honest about it all, you won't be disappointed.

Awesome interior and great choice of St. Peter's ales. Gets busy with office workers at lunchtime but always manage to get a seat.

Noticed that the Jerusalem Tavern was now open for Sunday roasts so thought we'd check it out. Fantastic pub with an excellent selection of beers. Food was delicious and well cooked. We'll be back!

I really enjoyed coming to this quirky and small pub. I was a little worried that it would be packed on a friday night, but although it got a little busier later, it was never rammed. I enjoyed trying 6+6.5% cider. The staff were really friendly and informative. I enjoyed that there was no music, as it was much easier to hold a conversation. Much better than any chain-will definitely be back.

I had a pint here and it is very atmospheric so if you are doing a walking tour of Clerkenwell then it is a place to stop. It looks very old and is crowded, dark and serves good beer. However although the name of the tavern and the building are ancient and historic I think the linkage between the two is rather more modern. In other words it seems that the pub uses an old name in a 1700 building but the fitting out is modern. This may spoil the experience for you.

All is not what it seems at The Jerusalem Tavern. It is not a surviving micro pub from the c19th century, it in fact used to be a tailors shop. It is however exactly what a pub ought to be like. Owned by St Peters Brewery, it is very small, serves only good beers and has a devoted following amongst those who know a good thing when they see it. Visit for step back into a past that probably never really existed, but ought to have done.

The tavern is rustic and authentic in terms of its decor, furniture and ambience. No music and nothing fancy. Great place to drink cask beer and chat up with an old friend.

A very pleasant experience , no fruit machines , no TVs, no piped music and no carpet ! Just an excellent pint in pleasant surroundings. Helpful bar staff who will recommend beers and allow tasters .

Dont expect anything fancy here Its just honest to goodness basic cask beers and ciders And thats what everyone should want from a British pub

Very interesting tavern, and old as well. Having a drink there feels like a piece of history on every pint.

I have been frequenting the Jerusalem since 2011. Consistently excellent service & great food with a oldy worldly atmosphere; no loud music or game machines here!My son said that their beef burger was the best he had ever had. The chef turns his hand to many different dishes, all consistently good. Dave, normally behind the bar is a convivial host. Hard to fault.

Stopped here on a few occasions now with friends when looking for somewhere to drink prior to eating elsewhere. The tavern has the feel of a very old (maybe 17th or 18th century) property although I believe it is not actually that old. It's a small winding property with dark wood fittings and very much in the mold of a traditional London pub.They serve a great selection of beers, particularly St Peters Organic Beers from Suffolk, with at least 6 beers on draft when we visited and a whole bunch more available in bottles. Quality of the beer was exceptional, and not unreasonable for London at around £14 for four pints which included a couple of their very strong beers.The bar is very cramped and seating is at a premium. We found nowhere to stand and where having to move constantly for others until we realised there was a bench outside where we could hover. We were fortunate it was a very mild and dry December day.Overall a great place to visit that is quirky and different from many other bars in London, and has a great selection of well kept ales.

Popped in for a drink with friends who knew this place and it's a bit like going into Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter books. Loads of character, great choice of real ales. The place was heaving when we got there but fortunatley after a few minutes we managed to get sat around a table and that was us set for a couple of hours. Will keep this place filed away fro future visits when up in London for sure

Always try to come here when in London, but it's not open on weekends. It's probably my favourite pub in London with lots of character and atmosphere even when it's empty. Maybe the best time in when they open at 11.00 o'clock to savour the place. Very basic but wonderful and the St Peters ales are pretty good too.

Beware, anyone who likes a beer! All seems great when you first go in, but they inexplicably stop serving pints at 10pm. Surely the only reason is so you have to buy expensive small bottles of Kronenbourg or even more expensive spirits and mixers? The bar men treated my custom with disdain all night, then one guy deemed it appropriate to make my Rum & Coke a double without asking (for a mere £9.50).From what should've been a great night, I left feeling a mix of being conned and unvalued. Probably best avoided.

Wandering around the Museum of London and Spitalfieds area the Good Beer Guide led me to this recreation of an 18th century pub. Wood plank floors, built in bench seating (unpadded) and a real wood fire. All the beer is from St. Peter's brewery and are wonderfully kept. For lunch I had a Brie and cranberry sandwich with salad and wedges. Very nice for £7.

This is an atmospheric, recreation of an elizabethan pub. It consists of a bare, stripped back, wooden interior. The range of beers is not particularly impressive and are supplied by the St Peter's brewery. A good pub for one or two beers but I wouldn't spend an evening here.

I needed a pub near Farringdon to bring a couple of friends. This place is cosy and serves decent beer much of it from small casks (St Peter's Brewery). I like the minimalist / faux old decor but one of my friends thought it a bit odd as it is not really like an old style pub. The clientele are an interesting bunch and be prepared to stand or share a table. This place is not ppen 7 days a week and does not appear to serve food.

St Peter's beers on tap and bottle. Tap is from the barrel and the beer is fresh and well kept. I tried a pint of best which was excellent and a pint of mild. The mild was up there with the finest. To my taste buds, only excelled by Daniel Bathams mild.The pub is small and charming with some bizarre art on the walls and you do need to shuffle round the benches when it's busy.Rather special and charming.

As you enter the Jerusalem Tavern you have an instant feeling of going back in time, the frontage is almost Dickension. The front area looks like a scene from Blackadder Goes Fourth, the beers are simply out of this world brewed in the Suffolk countryside with many different types of ale to choose from, why not try the unusual Grapefuit Ale of the red, or the Suffolk Gold or the.... get their early and be lucky to occupy the crews nest seat with a partner. Ideal for people watching from above. My first is it here was in October 1996 soon after it opened and still remains my favourite London pub.

This may be the only pub in London that Charles Dickens was NOT presumed to have visited, but he certainly could have. Dating from the early 18th century, the pub looks as if the tables, chairs, and even the dust are original. It serves hand-crafted beers from St Peter's brewery, a good range of lagers and ales. Alas, they no longer serve food (except for bags of potato crisps). Anyone looking for a real British pub (that is, without fruit machines, blaring rock music, and the dressed-to-impress set) will be well pleased with The Jerusalem.

This pub serves only beers from St. Peters brewery, and their beers are amazing. It's the third time I'm sitting here this week and can't wait to come back when I'm in London again. As a home brewer I'm very picky with what I drink and their beers are really to my liking. The place has an awesome aroma of a local pub. The service is excellent also. The place is small so if you come too late in the evening you'll find yourself standing outside with your beer in the street with about 30 more customers :) You just can't skip this place! It's a total MUST!

se siete a londra e volete assaggiare un'ottima birra artigianale andate in questo piccolo, ma vecchissimo pub (frequentato soprattutto da residenti). E' un po fuoricampo (zona Farringdom), ma ne vale la pena. Ricordate che sabato e domenica chiude e si puo mangiare solo a pranzo

Well located by the Zetter this is a comfortable place for a cold beer and good food.It can be crowded at times wit a lively bunch. friendly the food is good not great with the deserts actually better than the main course.

Well after wading our way through the hoard of drinkers on the street, as is typical for Holborn. This is a proper period pub, off the main drag and serving St peters beers. Grapefruit one a hit. Not a place for wine drinkers but house red was decent. Loved the fox above the mantel piece.

This is a pub with a real history and an atmosphere to match. Perfect traditional pub. Could be straight out of the 19th century with casks of beer behind the bar of St Peters Brewery ales from Suffolk with many varieties and décor to suit the historical nature of the place . The tavern itself has occupied several sites in the area since 1140 when it was linked with the Priory of St John and the Crusades. Great find and great beer. Worth seeking it out.
