The Old China Hand

The Old China Hand stands out in Clerkenwell as a family-owned pub dedicated to serving only British beverages, from microbrewery beers to UK-sourced wines and spirits. Its unique approach makes it a destination for those seeking a truly local experience, with a rotating selection from renowned breweries like Tiny Rebel and Hogs Back.

​

Darts is at the heart of the pub’s social scene, with three steel-tip dartboards available for reservation. The presence of a young darts team and regular league participation highlight the pub’s active role in the local darts community. The welcoming atmosphere ensures that both beginners and seasoned players feel at home, and the addition of board games and ping pong tables broadens the appeal for groups and casual visitors alike.

​

While The Old China Hand does not serve food, guests are welcome to bring their own (with some restrictions) or order in pizza, making it a flexible spot for a relaxed evening of darts and drinks.
