A compact, one-roomed affair, this pub even manages to shoehorn in a bar billiards table into its layout. There's a pleasing independent air to proceedings, a decent range of beers on offer (including decent bottled ciders), and an atmosphere conducive to settling in for a couple of hours. Situated on a side-street off the King's Cross end of Caledonian Road, it's perhaps more convivial than you might expect, and it's a pleasant discovery should you (for some reason) be wandering round the back streets of King's Cross. Note that it doesn't offer food - though you can order your lunch at the cafe over the road and they'll bring it across to you. It's that sort of pub.
