The Three Crowns (Old Street - London)

The Three Crowns

A very normal looking corner pub just off of the Old street roundabout. Entering one finds a small room with high ceiling - a small bar tucked in the left corner and a rather unfriendly bar woman serving drinks. With not so much as a smile or any soul in her pouring technique we get drinks - £2.80 a pint so not over priced. Looking round one finds the niche - a stairwell downstairs reveals three pool tables and the first floor overlooks the basement from a small galley. There are no chairs downstairs however and its a bit of a lads room. The music throughout is RnB so the older crowd is definitely warded off but then Old street isnt the place for anyone over 35 in any case.

Overall the three crowns is a good pub to hit for a group of blokes looking for a bar woman who doesn't take any crap and a couple of sturdy pool tables - ladies, avoid at all costs. Meanwhile it remains small and in a word, uncomfortable: 5/10
