About Crown Tavern
Pub in former concert hall on a public green, with outside terrace and original Victorian features.
The original 18th-century building included the Apollo Concert Room on the first floor, which is now a bar and function room, while the downstairs bar is divided into a number of attractive drinking areas. Five changing real ales are served, and an extensive a la carte and set menu is available throughout the day, with roasts on Sundays. The beer garden continues out onto the Green, with a view of the Old Sessions House and the Marx Memorial Library.

Lovely atmospheric pub serving a great Sunday roast. Staff were helpful and friendly. The beer (Harvey's Sussex) was exceptional. Will visit again.

Great pub in Clerkenwell with a good space outside should you rather enjoy your beers in the sun (weather permitting, of course). There are a good range of beers on tap and a food menu with that boasts a prawn, chorizo and feta dish on the same plate - bizarrely, it works 😃

We attended a party for a teenager. The upstairs room was comfortable, attractively decorated and ideal for a party of about 35/40. The tapas was delicious, particularly the calamari which was also gluten free (allergies catered for). Prices were reasonable - it is London after all. Staff were efficient, friendly and charming. A friend of mine had been recently and highly recommended it.

We went there after walking for hours in the cold rain, and fortunately there was a free table in the evening. The bar staff was friendly and welcoming. The place was dimmed and had Christmas lights on, the heating was very welcomed. The place is cosy and the chairs are comfy. We tried to order a few things but they didn't have at least 2 items on the menu so we just all went with fish & chips with some cider. We gobbled it up pretty fast and sat there all satisfied. A lady came to take our plates later, very friendly and animated. Loved the vibes over all. Would recommend and would return :)

Great venue for a pub meal with an outdoor area in the square, perfect on this sunny day. Food menu was varied and interesting and catered for our vegetarian friend. Sirena and her staff provided outstanding service and a bit of local info as well. Thanks for a wonderful lunch. Highly recommended 😀
