It was served cold, however, so I asked for it to be warmed which seemed to disturb the cook. Of course pesto+ avocado = amazeballs. My husband's Moroccan burger was a bit spicy and he liked it. I liked the tartar sauce that accompanied the dish. I'm just dinging another star because the food took FOREVER to come. I really thought they were killing the lamb for how long it took. The barman apologised though so my heart softened a little.

We want to come back JUST because of the service. Drinks: there are plenty of options for cocktails and everything is made in house, so you're not getting cheap mixers. We both ordered the naked and famous and we loved the flavors. Ambiance: what a cool scene! The entrance is slightly hidden, so hopefully my video will show you how to get in. Once you get in, you're surrounded by lights, flowers, and tons of pillows. Very comfy and fantastic music. I highly recommend!

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!)

Nevertheless, they welcomed us with open arms and am I ever glad they did! There seemed to be an older, more established crowd brunching that day and we did feel a little out of place however, we were certainly not made to feel that way. I opted for the chicken, bacon, lettuce & tomato sandwich with coleslaw and salad and although it was not much to look at, it tasted really good. The pièce de résistance was the apple toffee crumble with custard that I shared with my husband. Remind me again how I got talked into doing that? Strange, I'm not normally that nice. You can't go wrong with apple and toffee first of all but the custard... ohhh the custard! Would it have been wrong of me to lick the dish clean? I just might have, had there been a different crowd in there that day (oh I'm kidding... kinda). It's custard like that, that makes me miss England.

Luckily we found some stool seating by the front and were able to enjoy some beers and take in the ambiance. There's an upstairs that is accessible by a very very narrow staircase which even has handles for support, all part of the fun lol!! Beer: We tried out the Guinness (great pouring process!), peroni, and a local ale which the bartender allowed me to sample. He was very helpful and walked me through the different ciders they had in stock and even how you could add fruit syrups to sweeten the flavor. What makes this place even more memorable was the helpfulness of the young guy bartending. He helped us plan how to get to Gatwick airport extremely early the next morning and we owe him a big one!

This place doesn't technically have it, but their braised beef & ale shortcrust pie comes very close, and it's one of their specialties.

The ambiance really welcomed me in: warm, cozy interior with the fireplace going and a charming vintage Christmas aesthetic. Add in friendly people and genuinely warm service. Exactly the kind of pub you hope to stumble into on a rainy London morning. I'm hyped.

Will put it on the to-do list for next time! That will go next to 'trying the food' which is already on the list. The menu features hearty pub food classics and the establishment boasts that its bread and meat come from the local baker and butcher.
