Based in the heart of Clerkenwell just off of the main road, we serve great beer & fantastic food.
Take a seat with us and you could be sitting in the spot where Lenin and Stalin held a meeting in 1905. Or you may recognise our distinctive golden "Apollo Lounge" upstairs, where scenes from the British film 'Notes on a Scandal', featuring Dame Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett, were filmed. The lounge - once a renowned concert hall - is spacious and bright, boasting original features and is available to hire for parties and events. This iconic London pub is the ideal spot to enjoy a pint of speciality beer and a plate of carefully sourced, home cooked pub food.
Super relaxed atmosphere, with great staff, with a great range of food and drinks available.
We had such a great time at The Crown at our 2022 Christmas party we went back again this year - and weren't disappointed! Delicious food, friendly service, reasonable prices and a lovely, cheerful, comfortable pub. Thoroughly recommend.
We had our annual friends Christmas party in the Apollo Room and the day couldn’t have been more perfect. The staff were great, particular shout out to Simon who was a legend and ran the bar for us. Everyone enjoyed the food and we were impressed that it all came out hot - not easy with 36 people to serve! We had such a great day at The Crown Tavern and would highly recommend booking here if you are planning an event. Thanks to the team, we hope you have a great Christmas and New Year!
We went there after walking for hours in the cold rain, and fortunately there was a free table in the evening. The bar staff was friendly and welcoming. The place was dimmed and had Christmas lights on, the heating was very welcomed. The place is cosy and the chairs are comfy. We tried to order a few things but they didn't have at least 2 items on the menu so we just all went with fish & chips with some cider. We gobbled it up pretty fast and sat there all satisfied. A lady came to take our plates later, very friendly and animated. Loved the vibes over all. Would recommend and would return :)
I really enjoyed this pub...we got served quickly and staff seemed polite enough. There is an area outside and we were able to get a table which was great. I imagine you'd have to get in early to secure a seat. Interior was classic and pleasing to the eye, great location to start or as part of a bit of a pub crawl. Friends seemed to enjoy the wine and plenty on tap to choose from. Also, there's more room and dining upstairs but I never got that far; go check it out.
