The Scottish Stores

Great pub with a fantastic atmosphere. Friendly staff, good drinks, and a really welcoming vibe. Always enjoy coming here and would happily recommend it to others.

3 real ales ever changing. On a Tuesday in June at 6.30pm, two were in good condition, and one was not. The temperature was good for the time of year. This pub is so close to King's Cross that you should come for an ale or two whilst waiting for your train.

Nice Victorian London pub. Good choice of beer and other drinks. Real ale kept well, I had a pint of London Pride and it was one of the best pints of 'Pride' I've ever had.

A perfect location for killing some time before your train is due. A decent selection of drinks in this lovely old pub. Staff are friendly and there are several nooks and crannies to sit and enjoy the hubbub of Caledonian Road before making your way to Kings Cross.

I work in a large hotel in Paris, so I’m familiar with how hospitality and customer service should be handled. Dropping off our luggage in the morning was quick and easy, and the staff member at that time was very pleasant. However, when we returned to collect our bags, the experience was completely different. The staff member who assisted us seemed irritated and made us repeat basic information several times, as if providing the service we paid for was inconvenient. I simply described the person who took our bags earlier as “the Black girl” — purely to help identify who handled them, nothing more. Instead of understanding the context, I was told, “Don’t call her the Black girl,” in a tone implying I had said something offensive or discriminatory, which was absolutely not the case. On top of that, it took nearly 30 minutes for them to locate our luggage, during which we were treated as if we were mistaken, lying, or trying to claim someone else’s belongings. The whole situation felt unprofessional, tense, and unnecessarily uncomfortable. The service is bad and the attitude, communication, and professionalism need serious improvement. Guests shouldn’t feel judged or unwelcome when using a paid service.

My husband and I found this while waiting for our train and it's a beautiful hidden gem with histrionic atmosphere mixed with good music to our taste. The staff was amazing and friendly and if we're ever in London again, we'd definitely come here to drink again.

Very good pub about five minutes walk from King's Cross Station. Three cask beers on handpump when I visited including a porter. A few tables outside.

We popped in for a pint during our visit to Londen. Pints were affordable and wide range available! Vibe was great!
