Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese

Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese is off Fleet Street towards St. Paul's Catherdral. It is a traditional pub with several different levels all offering something different. There is sawdust on the floors and it has dark ambient wood throughout. The drinks are cheap—it's part of the Samual Smiths pubs which offer cheap, non brand name drinks. Choose from an array of beers and ales, including wheat beer and my favourite, fruit beer. They serve bar food but the menu's quite small and it's definitely not their speciality—stick to the drinks. There is a restaurant upstairs but I've never been in. There are a range of bars, those downstairs are in the wine cellars—mind your head on the way down and up. If you're going to give it a try, go on a weekday, as this part of the city shuts down on weekends so it's much better in the week. It can get really busy and the upstairs rooms are sometimes closed for private functions. If you are looking for some traditional drinking at good prices, definitely try this out; I've taken all my friends and everyone loves it.
