Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Good selection of traditional ale. Hope the casual tourists don't find out about this place as they would spoil the atmosphere here.
🚇 Old Street 🍺 £7.30 Asahi ❤️ A calm oasis in EC1. . The Artillery Arms is a located on the outskirts of London's financial district. Opposite the pub is Bunhill fields burial ground, this is the final resting of Daniel Defoe, author of Robinson Crusoe, Puritan John Bunyan and William Blake, a luminary, poet, painter, printmaker and a bit of a nutter. . This pub was built in 1850’s and was formerly known as The Blue Anchor. This pub is named after the nearby headquarters of the Honourable Artillery Company whose barracks have sat on this minor hilltop since the 17th century. . This pub has a definite Victorian feel with its dark woody interior, stained glass, drinking shelves and traditional island servery. The main bar is small but perfectly formed, upstairs is another room called The Barracks which is used for functions and events. . The beer selection was excellent and included a couple of craft brews and five cask ales. I decided on a pint of Asahi, my pint was great and price point was high. The food offering is hearty pies and bar snacks to accompany your drinks. . I visited on Bank Holiday Monday back in May. I arrived late afternoon and the pub was calm, relaxed with a nice crowd in attendance. There were a few locals sat on stools around the bar and a younger crowd gathered outside. The service was good, there were a couple of nice chaps working the bar chatting to the locals. This pub hosts pub quizzes every Sunday and also Comedy nights upstairs throughout the month. . @theartilleryarms is one of those pubs that immediately makes you feel welcome and at ease. This Fullers pub is well worth a visit to soak up the Victorian ambience and the historic location opposite Bunhill Fields burial ground. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 08.05.23
A classic, civilised London corner pub near the Royal Artillery. Quaint and vintage feel, carefully updated to retain heritage features. Tiny bar but this adds to the atmosphere and still well equipped with a good draught range. Plenty of space for chatting in a relaxed, unpretentious environment. Fantastic London street drinking with brass sills, flowers and old, quiet backstreets.
Lovely pub in Bunhill Row, opposite Bunhill Fields, resting place of William Blake, John Bunyan and others
📍 The Artillery Arms 🌍 Old Street / Barbican 🏛 Attractive little traditional corner pub with two drinking spaces either side of the bar. Some great stained glass as well. 🍺 Fullers pub so you know what you're getting. London Pride on tap amongst others. ℹ️ The pub's opposite a graveyard and depending where you're coming from, most easily reached by walking straight through the middle of it. 🙋♂️ My view: this is a top notch pub for a quiet winter drink. It's decorated well without being kitsch. The whole place feels very intimate. Small bar, low lighting, small tables, board games etc. ✅️✅️✅️✅️✅️
