John Snow - Atlas Obscura

"The John Snow is a Samuel Smith pub, which means only the eponymous brand of beer is sold, and visitors are discouraged from using digital devices and foul language. For more on this quirky pub empire, see this 2024 article in the Guardian." - Atlas Obscura

Terrible food and service. No flavour, vinegar had bits floating in it, can’t order gravy as a side even though it’s on the menu, can’t have more tartare sauce. American Bar staff’s attitude sucked. Should have known something was wrong when the place was empty on a busy day

Great atmosphere. A little small on the ground floor, but more spacey upstairs. Always nice to pop in there for their organic wheat beer, and the staff is very friendly.

RUDE CREW - DON'T GO THERE [PLEASE READ THE WHOLE TEXT] I still can't believe a place like this is still open I went there because of the Cholera History of the pub. Me and my sister would like to eat something, so after checking the Cholera pump, we went into the pub. We asked for a table for 2. A guy told them they just had drinks, that we could sit anywhere. So we choose a table and sit down. They didn't give us the menu while we went to the table, so I had to stand up, go to the bar and ask for the menu, It looked like it was a favor. When I got the menu, I saw a sign "excellent food served upstairs". So I asked if the drinks from downstairs (the pub/bar) were the same from upstairs, because we wanted something to eat. One of the 2 guys answered something I didn't ask. He said that to go upstairs, you should order food. I didn't ask that. So, I asked again if the drinks upstairs were the same from downstairs. For the 2nd time, this guy didn't answer what I asked. He said that upstairs also have a bar. I don't know if he has any cognitive limitations, but upstairs can have a bar but the drinks don't need to be the same. That's why I was asking about the drinks. Then, I asked for the 3rd time. Believe it or not, this guy huffed in anger and put this hands on his face, clearly showing he lost his mind. He isn't able to answer a simple question and lost his mind. It's crazy. Then, the other, with the painted nail, saw that the first guy had lost his mind and gave me the simple answer: YES, THE DRINKS ARE THE SAME. I don't know if he behaved like this because he saw 2 lonely women and thought that he could treat us like this. If there was a guy with us, would he behave like that? I don't recommend this place. It's crazy someone who works with the public at a tourism area behaves like that

We went for a pint in the upstairs area and were enjoying our time until a mouse ran across the floor. When we mentioned something to the bartender, he said he wasn't paid to handle this (fair enough)and nothing was done. We continued seeing the mouse and its eventual buddy till we left. Additionally, the pint felt quite overpriced especially considering the two mice and tepid handling of them.

Barkeep (Middle aged Bald man) didn't acknowledge anyone who came in. Kept talking to the local at the bar. Rolled his eyes when asked what they had to drink and when we tried to order. Very unfriendly and frankly just rude. Acted as though any customers coming in were a waste of time. I get we are tourists but there's no need for disrespect. Very disappointing.

Classic British pub with a lot of history behind its name. Spoiler: it has nothing to do with Game of thrones! Kitchen closes early but highly recommend for a quick drink

Didn't get a chance to try the food as the restaurant was closed. The manager offered us the chance to get food and have it at the pub. Nice selection of beers on tap from Sam Smith I believe. Lovely choice of crisps. Not rating the food as I didn't try it, maybe next time. The lads who work there have great customer service skills so good job guys.
