    Walking distance from the Hampton Inn. Great meal, good price. Good choice of drafts, and cheap.

    I'm almost surprised that nobody else has reviewed this place, but then the regular clientele do…read morenot seem likely to use Yelp. This is a fairly typical pub but with lower food prices than all the places over on Marchmont Street. Mostly local, busy after work, but with a strong contingent of Irish ex-pats. Between 5 and 6:30 one evening I heard accents from Down, Donegal, Cork, and Dublin, plus all the native Londoners who work nearby. The food is the usual fare, in theory the dining room is in the back but they'll let you eat out in the pub area or at the bar, especially if you're alone. Again, prices aren't bad: 5.50 for fish & chips, compare to 8 or 9 at the pubs in Marchmont Street. Decent quality. Those are takeaway prices for Bloomsbury, but McGlynn's is just enough off the beaten path yet within a busy area. If you're not local (and I am certainly not local, just research work over the summer) you might get some funny looks, but the regulars were nice enough once I joined in the conversations; that night there was some debate over whether Midsummer's night was the same as the Solstice (it's not!)

    This is a good pub for drinking, not eating. Most of the food is from frozen or precooked and…read morenuked. That being said, the price is right for what you get. They were out of three mains (I wanted the ribeye steak but it was a no-go, as well as the pork chops and something else... can't remember). I ordered chicken Kiev with mash and salad. All fairly tasty except for the mash... skip it and get chips instead.
