NOTE:A man goes into a Young's pub and asks for a bottle of Young's beer, only to be roundly abused by the landlord, who claims rather aggressively that this isn't a Young's pub, despite the rather large signs on the wall saying "Ram Brewery" (which is, for those who don't know, where Young's beers are brewed). Rather like with religion, you have to ignore the evidence of your own eyes and just believe the ranting nutter in front of you. So I did, accepted that this WASN'T a Young's pub, and everything continued splendidly thereafter. Stripped down and rather scruffy, this is a pleasing establishment close to the Monument, lacking the loud music, testosterone and heaving crowds of the Hogsheads etc nearby. It serves decent Young's bitters on tap (yes, that's right, the same Young's that the pub is absolutely and totally not connected with in any way - as Tony Blair said about Iraq and WMD: "trust me on this one") plus the usual host of lagery stuff. Surprisingly good for the area, but they do need to sort out the "Ram Brewery" signs on the wall. Not open weekends.
