I'll probably go ahead and call this a railway pub since it is sort of located in Euston Station. Actually, it is located just outside the station, but I suspect that a lot of people who end up here, like myself, end up here because they are passing through the station. Anyway, it was okay, and the service wasn't too bad, though being upstairs is somewhat annoying if you happen to be lugging baggage with you. However, the beer selection was sort of okay, meaning that there were some that I appreciated. The annoying thing about this pub though was the toilets, though I suspect it was because people would use it so they didn't have to pay at the railway station. read more

Knowing I had a bit of a journey ahead I made sure I supped before getting the train back home. Initially I was going to head to a pub I visited last time but found it too risky on the basis of time. Searching frantically I ended up surrendering to this place. Heading up the railway themed stairs led me to a vintagey cool room. There were old fires and retro leather chairs etc. Approaching the bar I found it well stocked and diverse. The bar lady kindly id'd me and then offered me multiple different beers to try. I decided on her recommendation of a tasty cider then ordered some grub. The menu had a few generic pub dishes but it was the chefs special of home made gnocchi with cheese and peas that enticed me. Perching at the nearest table my food was soon delivered. Everything did taste fresh but I felt like the portion was a little on the small size considering what I paid..it was £19 for the pint and food. Another bar lady asked if it was okay which I said it was but thought it was too late to mention the portion because I had snaffled half of it. Overall the atmosphere and staff were great and the choice of beers fab but the food was stingy so I would only come here for a drink while I waited for my train. A thing to note..there are train platform screens inside and also if you need the toilet make sure to ask a bar member to receive the code. I had to go down two flights of stairs with a case to find that out to then having to retrace my steps read more

The Doric Arch - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

Happy memories here: watched last 5 mins of #FRAvWAL 2013, the one when George North scored the winning try with minutes to go & Wales went on the win the 6 Nations despite a loss to Ireland in the previous game. Also remembered as the one when his dad invaded the pitch! The stewards took him away before he could get to his lad to congratulate him. And my kids tell me I embarrass them! Nice pub. Very close to Euston. Good beer. Nuff said. read more

The Doric Arch - A Fullers recipe was the 1st I ever made, when I moved over to real beer making. Fullers ESB - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

Very decent station pub with fun railway memorabilia. Staff were really nice and I wouldn't hesitate to pop in here again if waiting by Euston. It's also the starting point for Agent November - hilarious and enjoyable spy games in the local area, check him out! read more

This is a good station pub. A Fuller's pub but doesn't really feel like one and the fact that it serves some guest ales means that you have some choice besides the usual Fuller's range (I've never seen close to the 9 ales that the Fuller's website boasts mind you). They had some award winning ale as a guest on my last visit, which was very nice. This pub does get a bit busy and certain parts of the pub can become quite cramped. Also, the toilets are way downstairs and require a codeI guess to prevent people waiting for buses from using thembut that can also be a pain for paying customers too. Still.worth arriving at Euston a little early for! read more

Most pubs in the vicinity of big train stations like Euston are pretty grim, but the Doric bucks this trend. OK, so if you like acres of cream paint and tasteful paintings and modern furnishings you are going to hate this place, but if you are a train spotter or someone who just likes a good proper boozer then the Doric is for you! There's quite a lot of memoribilia from London's transport system hung on the walls which are interesting, even if you aren't the sort of person who spends hours hanging around in your anorak around train stations! This pub has a really wide range of tasty real ales, on tap and in bottles. This is a Fuller's pub and their seasonal ales are always nice. The range changes regularly, lending itself to many return visits - as my boyfriend says, nothing says I love you more than joint membership to CAMRA so we travel here quite often. To be honest, I've never eaten here but I've been told the food is reasonable honest pub grub and nicer than what you'd get in the station itself. Well worth a visit, even if you aren't planning to travel anywhere from Euston. read more

It's not the best pub in the world... actually I found it a little depressing, but it is near Euston Station so it's convenient for a quick drink or two before catching a train. read more

From downstairs you'd be forgiven for thinking this is a dive. I mean, it's a pub at a bus station reached by a flight of stairs up into a concrete building. I had assumed this was an old man's pub but how wrong I was. The Doric arch is long and thin, with arm chairs for those in for the long haul(waiting for a train, presumably), the house red was decent and the prices were reasonable for London. It was nice and light but cozy at the same time, and best of all there was plenty of opportunity for people-watching down on the concourse of Euston station. Four stars well deserved. Will be going back. read more

Just here for the first time last week and liked it very much. Good location near the entrance to Euston Station (to the right side if facing the station and upstairs). Not overly crowded, very good beer selection and pleasant environment. Definitely now on my list of London pubs to frequent when I am in town. read more

A loud and boisterous pub next to Euston station, The Doric Arch isn't your usual station pub. The whole place is decorated in interesting transport-y signage and the seating is not only rather plentiful, but also rather comfy! Lots of wood and dark colors make it seem older and not as if it's in the type of building that it actually is in (which is rather ugly and modern). The selection on offer is pretty good and we were quickly served. Bonus: really clean restrooms! read more

The staff was very friendly and helpful as I was waiting for my sister to meet me there. They let me try a beer before I bought a pint. The steak and ale pie was great and meat inside was very tender. Overall if visiting again, I would come back here. read more

A very welcoming pub that does good food. A good place near Euston train station to meet friends for a drink and food as well as a place to rest a little after travelling. I've found the place to be very helpful and welcoming every time I've visited. They have wifi and its a good pub in general. read more

Though in dark wood and nicely cosy this is a modern pub. It's on three floors. The ground floor contains nothing but the entrance, the bar is upstairs and the toilets downstairs. Many old British Railways station signs add to the railway feeling of the place. But as also other reviewers emphasized the variety of beers is delightful with the full choice of Fuller's beers and guest beers (6 handpumps) plus - rather unusual - three containers with real cider, the strongest ('organic') with more than 7% abv. read more

Classic English pub good for some basic beers, cheap food and a bar fight. Stumbled in here a few weeks ago because we couldn't get in to the African Kitchen Gallery. First night in London so we decided to try pub food. My wife had the fish and chips and a few beers that were quite good. I had the rump steak which was tough and overcooked. Should have ordered the fish. The chips with both orders were great and the Caesar salad we had as an appetizer was good too. Beers were cold and hit the spot after a long trip from the USA. About half way through our dinner someone hit the bartender and then the foul language and the beer glasses started flying against the wall. Thought we were in a western movie. No one was injured and we laughed it off as a "Welcome to England night". Overall a lot better choice than all of the Indian food on Drummond Street and better than the fast food type places at Euston Station. Thanks for the entertaining night. Oh, and the prices were quite reasonable seeing that everything in the UK is exorbitant . read more

The doric arch, a great name for a pub, has a great range of real ales. It's a well kept bar with a friendly and entertaining bunch of staff. There is particularly nice barmaid working there at the minute, who I think may be raising the trade for them. The food is fairly standard fayre, all tasty enough, including the inspired fishfinger sandwich, something I often make at home though have never seen out and about. The toilets aren't the greatest in the world but not the worst. It's just a good watering hole for those who enjoy supping real ale. read more

Walked into the pub around 10:45 pm as we waited for our train. Ordered our drinks. Bell rang at 10:55 which we learned was not last orders but time to go. The manager then hovered around us and as soon as the glass left my lips we were told to get out as closing in 2 minutes. Once they had our money they wasted no time in trying to shift us out. A short walk to the Brewery Tap rescued the rest of our evening. I will not be passing any more of my money over their bar in future. 2 stars is being very generous, at least the beer was ok. read more

This is a welcome retreat once leaving the train at Euston. A very warm welcoming place to have a beer and some food. It's a must hidden little gem round the corner from all the main facade of the station. Definitely recommend a visit. Great ales and drinks not to mention the food! read more

This place has the feel of a proper old pub, all dark heavily varnished wood. However it is modern and looks out over the bus station at Euston station. A really great selection of well cared for real ales. One of the only places I know that does London Porter, really nice dark (if not a little strong) beer. read more
