The Old Red Cow

Beer good food bad. Nothing like the pictures at all. Ordered club sandwich and the chicken was literally like a breaded goujon from Iceland, chips frozen too and nachos rubbish. Pints were nice got neck oil. Not expensive but not good at all. More disappointing as the pictures look so nice. Won’t return but the man behind the bar was fit.

Myself plus two mates visited this wonderful little bar last night (August 31st) and we had so much fun. The staff are absolutely brilliant, very friendly, a good laugh and very attentive too. The beer selection is one of the best you'll find around Clerkenwell and the food excellent too. I'd walked passed it so many times over the last few years and so when one of my friends asked if I knew a pub on the way to a party in another pub we were due to visit I suggested we try The Old Red Cow... fair to say this will be our starter and destination pub in the future! There's a nice little area upstairs too but the atmosphere downstairs was hard to leave so we just sat at the bar. I highly recommend a visit if you're in Clerkenwell and even if you're not make a special detour! Keep up the great work and I hope we can visit again very soon.

They offer a great variety of craft beers, most of which are under 5% ABV. The restaurant is cozy and can get crowded in the evenings, especially after work. However, you have the option to reserve tables in advance.

Met a friend here for a drink and a meal. Pub quite small but very pleasant. An extensive range of beers but a little disappointing that only two were on handpump. The delightful little restaurant upstairs replicates the bar downstairs and the meals were substantial and well cooked. Very handy for the Barbican Centre.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and time at The Old Red Cow. Delightful old building and very pleasant upstairs dining room. The dining room was very busy indeed but the service was friendly and efficient at all times. We would certainly go again. Thank you Liam and your team
