Next up the Phoenix, a backpacking hostel which a nice relaxed vibe and was full of strangers enjoying the realm of a pub after a day in London. Didn't seem like many people came to enjoy the bar who were not staying there but the people of Edgware Road may well be missing a trick.
We settled down with pints of Kronenburg whilst Cookie did shot quizzes using a 2009 Guinness Book of Records.
How many pubs did Bruce Masters, the world record holder for visiting pubs, visit from 1960-2009?
We also learnt about the world record for variable stature. An Austrian man who was 3ft 10inches at 21, grew to an astounding 7ft 2 inches by the time he was 32. Unfortunatley it was due to a tumor.
Earplugs for a pound on the bar and a free to use microwave which some punters were making good use of with a spag bol.
Not the traditional ale houses we normally attend but a nice calm atmosphere. It also does £3 breakfasts sooo...
