Range of beers second to none and friendly staff. Had we not been on a mission to head to a pub from our distant past, could easily have spent many hours here. A little gem!
A nice looking pub in the City, unfortunately spoiled by the attitude of the owner. I visited this pub on the recommendation of a friend on a Friday evening. It wasn’t overly busy and after a while I moved a stool closer to the bar where our small group were standing, and there was plenty of room around us. The owner was sitting on a stool at the bar just to my left, looked over and told me ‘you can’t have a stool at the bar’. I politely asked why I couldn’t sit a couple of feet along from where he was sitting on a similar stool, and he said ‘it’s my pub and my rules, and I’m the only one who can sit at the bar. If you want to sit, move to a table.’ At that point we all left and won’t be going back. FURTHER COMMENT FOLLOWING BUSINESS RESPONSE. Yes, it was a calm discussion between you and I because I think it’s always better to handle things that way. However I also told you that I’d never return to your pub (which I’m sure suits you as much as me) because of your attitude. My friends were probably more upset about things than I was - you may recall one of them storming out and another telling you what they thought of your attitude in stronger terms than I.
The old boy here, the landlord, is a great character who rubbed off really well from the get go as I took a seat with the brother. He was a lovely chap, attentive and welcoming to all tables. Immediately giving the impression that it's a happy pub, well run and never trouble there. Great selection of porters, ales, IPAs and a couple of ciders available too. With a lovely clear blackboard giving names, strengths and (importantly) price of what's available - that's always appreciated. Will deffo revisit when in the area and it makes it onto my "London pints" map/list to recommend to others.
🚇Barbican 🍺 £6.20 Paulaner ❤️ An oldschool beer lover’s paradise. . The Sutton Arms, not to be confused with the Sutton Arms on Carthusian Street is located right in the heart of Clerkenwell and close to Barbican and Farringdon. The nearest Tube is Barbican which is a five minute walk. . This pub was built in 1848 and is named after a 17th century businessman Thomas Sutton. Sutton was the founder of The London Charterhouse which is located a few minutes walk away. This pub is an independent Freehouse that has been run by the same family since the early nineties. . This is a long and narrow pub that is traditionally decorated with an oldschool vibe. Although this pub is narrow, the ambiance is bright and airy with light flooding through the large etched windows. The walls are painted white and have a mix of photos, certificates and chalkboards displaying the extensive list of beers and food available. No oldschool pub would be complete without a proper red pub carpet. . The beer selection here is vast, diverse and showcases keg and cask beers from independent UK breweries and some from further afield. I had a pint of Paulaner which is a favourite of mine, my pint hit the spot and price point was average. During the month this pub hosts Tap Takeovers and also has beer of the week promotions. If you’re feeling a bit peckish, the food offering is Pies. There is a selection of meat, vegan and veggie to choose from, most pies cost around £6. . I visited around 4pm on a Sunny Friday afternoon back in July. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed with a couple of punters both inside and out. The service was great, the member of staff was all smiles and courteous. . The @suttonarms is a beer lovers paradise and can rival any London pub for beer diversity and choice. It is also a great place to spend time in, there is a nostalgic pub feel here. If you know your IPA’s from your Pale Ales and love an oldschool boozer, this is a must visit pub. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 07.07.23
One of the best pubs in London. Always a fantastic selection of cask ales, kegged beers and ciders representing some of the greatest modern breweries. Everything is kept in exceptional condition too. Not to be confused with the other (Fuller’s owned) Sutton Arms round the corner on Carthusian Street, this place is completely independent and run by a father and son
