The Museum Tavern looks a nice old pub with lots character but it’s located directly across from the British Museum entrance and as such, very full of tourists. There are numerous local beers on tap including Truman, Brewdog and Portobello breweries but be prepared to pay £5.90 for a pint. I ordered a glass of prosecco and had already paid for it when the manager came over before I got my drink to say that they don’t sell it by the glass in the pub. The bar tender who had sold it to me by the glass normally worked at another pub, in the same chain, that did sell it by the glass and hadn’t known that this was not the case at the Museum Tavern, which is completely fair. The manager seemed very accusatory when he came over to explain the situation and said that if we looked in the menu it would say that it was not sold by the glass. So I decided to take a look at the menu and it did actually say it was sold by the glass. When questioned on this he became completely unreasonable so I just let it go. It’s too bad the manager acted out the way he did because other than that, it seems a half decent pub.
