We had a nice time at the Bloomsbury Tavern. Went there because you get a Main Dish in your birthday (if you have another one paying). Food was great and service as well. Good options for beer as well.

Best pub in London, great service. The beer and food are great, we especially love the newly refurbished 1st floor room.
