A great Sam Smiths pub
taken from Pubs.com -
The site of a pub since the 15th century, the Gray's Inn Coffee Shop was built here in 1695.The front bar is panelled, dark and comfortable. The cellar bar forms the brick foundations of a much older building. The bar to the rear is both fascinating and unique. In a great church-like hall, under a high pitched roof, a long bar counter sits below large oak vats. These are dwarfed by
massive wine vats near the entrance, said to hold 1000 gallons each.
On the opposite wall is a series of small cubicles, like confessionals, where it's easy to imagine lawyers in confidential conversation with their clients. Another unique feature is an ingenious triangular stove (c.1815) which stands in the centre of the bar. It has no visible chimney, the smoke is ducted away below the floor.
