• "Lovely staff."
• "Staff were friendly and it has an outside smoking area if needed."

Cons:

• "Had to order and pay by app even though it was empty and they expected a good tip just for walking out with two beers once we had done the ordering and paying ourselves."
• "Unfortunately this place has gone downhill. Whilst still offering a reasonable selection of beers for station prices, they seem to have acquired some bar staff with really terrible attitudes."

Ambiance and Location

Pros:

• "Sweet little pubs which must be great on the summer."
• "A great quirky, small bar that does a fantastic selection of beers and provides a welcome escape from the hell of standing on Euston concourse staring at the boards like a zombie."
• "The atmosphere is always fantastic."
• "Ideally located for a friends or colleagues to meet for a quick drink before jumping on the train or bus home from Euston Station."
• "Best place for IPA and off the beaten track Lagers! Very centrally located, easy to reach and has great views all around!"
• "Great place to pass an hour whilst waiting for a train."
• "Conveniently located next to the Euston train station."

Cons:

• "The only downside is loud music played on speakers outside."
• "Atmosphere outside can be a bit lacking, with buses going by constantly and the associated noise and fumes."
• "The only drawbacks may be the narrow range of other beverages for those of a different drinky disposition, emissions from the road when it's busy, and the toilets (small, frequently busy, and up tight spiral steps – but the toilets in the station are free now)."
• "The outside area isn't very pretty."
• "If you like to have a beer standing on a roundabout, especially when it's raining, well, this place is for you."
• "Due to the location, there will always be pickpockets."
• "It's an interesting place to have a drink. Wide selection of drink but it does has a smell of stale beer when you walk in."

Cleanliness and Facilities

Pros:

• "The building itself is the last remnant of the glory days of Euston station as most of it has been erased or 'modernised'."
• "The Euston Tap is an absolute gem. It's perfection in a beautifully architected stone shell."
• "One of the best new beer gardens I've been to in a while."
• "The west pub has the smallest urinal toilet in the world. It's worth seeing (peeing)."
• "The pub may appear small but they have an outdoor section with heaters during the winter and upstairs area."
• "Cool setting in an old Victorian building - plenty of space to sit inside and out, weather permitting."
• "Nice meeting place if you are at Euston Station."

Cons:

• "Tables are sticky and dirty and horrendous stink coming from the toilets."
• "Limited seating inside though."
• "Starting to feel a bit run down especially upstairs."
• "The only qualm would be the size of the place. It's got a lovely outdoor area but the options for seating inside are a little more limited."
• "The negatives were the toilets which were very dirty and not maintained, and the upstairs area in the same state."
• "Only one toilet and it’s a bit grim."
• "The place could do with a bit of clean, lots of sticky surfaces on last couple of vists."
