Harrison Pub & Hotel — Restaurant in London

🚇 Kings Cross St Pancras 🍺 £5.00 Amstel

A Local Independent Pub That Champions Grass Roots Musicians.

Located in a quiet side street at the southern end of Kings Cross you’ll find The Harrison Pub. The nearest Tube is Kings Cross, it’s a ten minute walk to get here.

The original pub on this site was built in 1832, the building you see today was built in 1934. This pub is a well renowned grassroots music venue that supports up and coming folk music talent.

The decor here is the main modern with some traditional touches here and there. This is a one bar pub that feels bright and airy with a central servery at its core. The seating is low level with a mixture of traditional tables and chairs plus some comfy sofas around a fireplace. Around the walls are a number of eclectic artworks in a variety of styles and sizes. At the front of the pub are plenty of tables, chairs and benches for the warmer months. The Harrison also has four hotel rooms if you want to stay in the area.

The beer line up was solid and included Cask, Craft and mainstream continental brews. I decided on an Amstel, my pint was decent and pleasingly cost a fiver. There is a traditional pub grub menu available which also offers bar snacks, sandwiches and Roasts on a Sunday, Fish & Chips costs £17.

I visited just after 6pm on a Friday back in August. There was a lovely local feel to the pub with a convivial early evening atmosphere. The majority of punters were local, most of which were outside enjoying the warm early evening. The service was excellent, the staff were friendly and welcoming.

The pub hosts a Pub Quiz on a Monday and Live Music in the pub on Sunday’s. As mentioned earlier, this pub supports Folk Music talent and has regular Music Gigs in the basement. Check socials for what’s on.

I really enjoyed my time here, there is reasonably priced beer, welcoming staff and an environment that was easy to settle into. This is a fantastic independent pub that looks after the local community and supports grassroots musicians. The @harrisonpub is definitely worth a visit.

I just stayed 4 nights in London we had an exceptional experience at the Harrison hotel in the heart of Kings Cross a short walk from St Pancras International, Kings Cross and Russell Square stations. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the quaint and detailed atmosphere of the hotel and first class service. The manager, Hugh and his team, displayed remarkable professionalism and efficiency throughout our stay. The restaurant's chef showcased an extraordinary level expertise, crafting the most incredible dishes that were a true delight and we end up eating every night at the hotel.

The room was equipped with an entertainment TV offering a vast selection of movies and channels, large bathroom compared to other hotels and the room service was flawless. The hotel's location was absolutely stunning, adding to the charm of the establishment. The English pub ambiance, complete with leather lounges and a cozy fireplace, was simply beautiful.

The breakfast served right to my door was a wonderful touch, and their special arrangements for early check-out breakfast were greatly appreciated. I was thrilled to discover the lower level's open mic comedy venue, providing fantastic entertainment. The array of beers and cocktails was just incredible, and the alfresco seating on the street added to the overall experience. I can't wait to return to the Harrison hotel London !! Very affordable prices amazing nice size rooms don’t waste your time look anywhere else just book this accomodation and you won’t be disappointed - Andrew Penman Sydney...

I was lucky enough to visit The Harrison for what I thought would be a quick glass of wine but what quickly turned into THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE.

Perusing through the incredible selection of wine by the glass, I decided to settle on the house red. A modest, unassuming, medium bodied tipple bursting with a delectable medley of ethereal notes. It felt more like something one would enjoy on the enchanting cobbled backstreets of Aix-du-Provence, not a trendy folk pub in king cross.What a way to start the evening… game on!

Next, we began to tackle the labyrinth of craft ales and artisanal lagers you’re greeted with at the stunning wooden bar. The selection could perhaps be intimating to fledgling beer drinkers, but luckily, the superb and friendly bar staff were always on hand to offer their intimate subject matter expertise. We tried several beers, each incredible. The local Camden hells, named after the London borough, was a true knock out.

The food was some of the best I’ve ever eaten, it felt like a fusion of British pub classics with the subtle nods to contemporary Nordic cooking.

The music, food, drinks, staff and atmosphere were all truly mesmerising. I will be visiting London again next year and will be going out of my way to repeat the experience. Once...
