I knew quite quickly that this would be one of the shortest reviews I had to write. There really isn’t much I can say about The Euston Tap. Given its proximity to Euston station, it took us a surprisingly long time to find, but we eventually spotted the neon sign in the middle of the road just opposite the terminus. It’s a tall stone building, marked on the outside with the names of stations. (Its mirror, opposite, is The Cider Tap under the same management.) A large crowd had gathered in front of the door, parted by metal barriers to allow pedestrians to pass. Inside, the bar seemed tiny, with a gentle but constant scrum waiting for service. A small spiral staircase in one corner hinted at an upstairs, but our attention was drawn to the bar, with taps affixed to the wall behind, and blackboards bearing the hastily scrawled names of the drinks on offer without explanation or description. Already it had the feel of an American micro-brewery, and not a traditional English pub.
