Slug and Lettuce (Farringdon - London)

Slug and Lettuce

Hidden well, under a sneaky archway and at the back of a short tunnel is a branch of the ever infamous Slug and Lettuce bar chain. There a couple of tables out front but the view is not very good from them, beyond this glass double doors take you inside to a wide oval bar, busy of a Friday evening with assorted table types sitting around a pit, into which you must descend to get served at the bar. Behind the bar, neon green lights add a spooky glow to everything and display plenty of holes in the bar crowd from which getting served is the easiest of tasks. Fidning a table however can be more of a chore and once you have that slightly more expensive pint of juice you turn around and feel like you are standing in some kind of over-done up version of Yates. The feel is too ladish for the slug and lettuce banner and the toilets arent the only thing whcih cry "I used to be a hogs head".

Overall the place works quite well, theres no other chain bars as close to the station but because it is hidden you can get the popularity just right to enjoy at least a slither of your evening here. Probably worth a look in - 6/10
