The Artisan Of Clerkenwell - London

Check out the good selection of drinks and cocktails, practical location and genuine friendly bar staff. Especially good in the summer months with the front beer garden, I would definitely recommend it!

Good food, good prices for central London. Happy hours and different offers made it very cheap (ie £10 for burger and pint, you can't really beat it). The ambience inside the bar is good, industrial character.

I went here with a group for lunch. Service was good and fast, the food was good. I had the buffalo wings which were big and tasted great. I also had an american burger which was a pretty tasty gourmet burger. I would come here again.

I went here on a Friday evening for a few post work beers with some friends. It’s a large bar/pub so it can easily accommodate big groups. We managed to find a table relatively easily. The service was quick and there was never a queue at the bar despite it being quite busy. The toilets are spot on. The bar is let down by there being a DJ playing incredibly loud music from about 7pm. It’s just so unnecessary for the post work crowd and it makes it very difficult to hold a conversation. Also, pints of beer are very expensive, even considering the area the bar is located in.

I really want to like this place, but it disappoints me every time. I like the size and layout of it and they have a decent selection of beers, etc., but the staff just seem to be constantly overwhelmed and don't manage the large crowds of a Friday evening. With a spacious inside and lots of seating and a fairly large seating area outside, they might want to consider having more staff to hand on busy nights. I'll keep checking back in hopes of a better experience.
