"I had a couple of pints here and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was great, and I was pleasantly surprised that the place wasn't overwhelmed with signs saying “that table is reserved for diners.” The staff gave a much friendlier welcome than I've experienced in the past. The venue itself is incredibly atmospheric, steeped in history. There are times when it feels like they overlook the importance of the current patrons, focusing too much on the reputation of the past, but that wasn't the case this time. It was a genuinely welcoming experience. I hope they continue to maintain this standard."
