Euston Tap, NW1

Quite bizarre 'pub' this one. Located in one of the 2 small stone entrance buildings, it could easily be missed. Its a really strange place to find a pub & could easily be missed. Tiny inside, the bar takes up most of the space on the ground floor and there is a small steep spiral staircase up to a 2nd floor and small toilet. Many different choice of beers and my Thornbridge Kipling was superb. Whoever came up with this idea should be thoroughly congratulated, and its also a departure for Network Rail's usual bland retail by numbers approach to their major station space. Has to be seen to be believed! But only go and see it at a quiet time!!

I've been to the Euston Tap maybe 7 or 8 times now so thought I'd do a second review. From my experience the staff don't exactly rush around so it can take a while to get served when busy, but service has always been friendly and knowledgeable. Price wise a standard pint price of £2.80 to £3.20 is the norm but there are some scary prices for some of the premium beers. The Thornbridge Alliance at 11% is £9 a pint and there are some others around the £6-£8 mark, but these are specialist beers so I think credit should be given for being brave enough to get them in.It's worth noting that the half pint glasses are oversized so don't think you are being short changed, the pint glasses are 'to the rim' I think. Don't be confused by what is showing on the draft pumps behind the bar, they are just for decoration, details of all of the beers both cask and draft are shown on blackbords either side of the bar. A recent addition has been a few beer menus on the bar with the various bottles and prices listed. They also have special beer trays to help you get upstairs with multiple pints. Food can be ordered from a nearby pizza restaurant with whom the pub has an arrangement to deliver,. When on my own I've always found it easy to get chatting to other customers and the typical clientele are clearly those in search of good and unusual beers in the curiosity of unusual surroundings. I think the place will keep developing, although it is restricted by its size and layout, and can see it thriving in Summer when people can drink outside.
