Lowlander

If you're in Covent Garden, and fancy something nice to eat and drink, I recommend you give Lowlander on Drury Lane a go. The food is your typical pub fayre done well - dishes like Moulles Frites for example. The drink is what this place is really about. They specialize in Dutch & Belgian beer, and have a bewildering menu to choose from; wheaty beer, hoppy beer, fruity beer, monkey beer (or "Trapist" beer as some people wrongly call it). With all this choice, it was cool to see that certain beers were available in 1/3 pint taster glasses to allow you to sample a broader range without getting completely shit-faced. Some of the beers are seriously strong, so I would imagine that if you went there drinking for the evening, a hangover is pretty much guaranteed. For a few mid afternoon ales though, it's great.

Yes, when I worked in Belgium I tried drinking the beer all evening, and you do indeed have a raging hangover in the morning.

For authenticity, I hope that each beer came in a different glass.
