I visited it for their launch on Monday and it’s a really nice space. Lots of rooms and very spacious.</div><div><br></div><div>What I didn’t really get a handle on is what might make a good post-meeting venue for food+drinks. CodeNode is directly opposite The Red Lion on Eldon Street (<a href="http://www.taylor-walker.co.uk/pub/red-lion-moorgate/c0837/" target="_blank">http://www.taylor-walker.co.uk/pub/red-lion-moorgate/c0837/</a>) - but that self describes as cosy and is clearly tiny. Just up the street it The Fleetwood (<a href="http://www.thefleetwood.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.thefleetwood.co.uk/</a>) which is bigger, but also seems wee. In the area and large is the All Bar One on the corner of Moorgate and Chiswell Street (<a href="http://www.allbarone.co.uk/national-search/london/all-bar-one-chiswell-street" target="_blank">http://www.allbarone.co.uk/national-search/london/all-bar-one-chiswell-street</a>) - but, y’know, it’s an All Bar One. </div><div><br></div><div>I was going to suggest The Master Gunner (<a href="http://www.fancyapint.com/Pub/london/master-gunner/409" target="_blank">http://www.fancyapint.com/Pub/london/master-gunner/409</a>) purely because although it’s not an amazing pub, it was quite big. However, it’s been reopened as Finch’s Pub (<a href="http://www.finchspub.co.uk/gallery" target="_blank">http://www.finchspub.co.uk</a>) and seems more gastro-y. This could be nice in terms of getting some decent food, but maybe it’s more tabley and has less room. I don’t suppose anyone has been recently?</div><div><br></div><div>If no-one has any better suggestions I think we should just try Finch’s Pub for the August meeting, and if it’s ok we can stick with it, but if it’s clearly unsuitable we can try somewhere else after the September meeting.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Murray</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
