No-frills UCL union bar serving cheap pints and proper pub grub to students and locals alike.

You'll find Phineas tucked into Gordon Street, just off the Euston Road in Bloomsbury—the kind of place where a pint costs less than your coffee and nobody's trying too hard. It's unapologetically a student haunt, which means it's got that chaotic energy where everyone's either cramming for exams or properly celebrating surviving them. The vibe is deliberately unglamorous: sticky floors, loud conversations, and the sort of honest pub atmosphere that's increasingly rare in central London. You're here for affordable drinks, not Instagram moments.
