Really friendly and welcoming service, despite how busy it is, which is really welcoming! A decent pint of Guinness too. Highly recommend if you're passing through to rest your tired legs after a day of being a tourist.
We came here as there was still availability to book a table on a busy Saturday evening and we needed to guarantee a seat for accessibility reasons. I wouldn't rush to return however, as my drink was served in a broken glass and the general cleanliness of the pub wasn't great. The service was fine, as was the selection of drinks, and it was nice that there was a live DJ playing at the time as it added to the atmosphere.
My friend and I were both visiting from different parts of the US and he heard great things about this place and wanted to come here since it's central to the theater district. I really do wish it would have been better. I was told Guinness was out so I got a different drink but as we were getting ready to leave I saw someone walking by with four dark beers and was very confused. Maybe they changed it out, I don't know. The food took almost an hour to come out to us, when it did half of it was wrong and they said nothing and never came back and the rest of it didn't come until another 20 minutes went by. I'm not from the area so I'm not sure how the whole service thing works over here since I know we order at the bar ahead of time, but I was just really disappointed. I didn't ask them to take anything back or take anything off because we were running late for our show. I will say the atmosphere is beautiful and the bathrooms, while very high up stairs, were very well taken care of as well. Maybe they were just having an off day downstairs. Unfortunately, I'll most likely not ever be back in London to know.
This place is well placed to visit before or after a trip to one of the many theatres in the area. Prices are on a par with other hostelries in the locality. Some comfortable seating and also standing up tables. I did not sample the food on this occasion. Craft beer is available. The toilets are a long way up but clean and fresh.
Good pub in prime location. Ample seating with a decent menu. Lots of big screen tellys for sports fans. Reasonable prices for food and drinks. Can get a little chilly in certain areas of this establishment which suits me. Toilets are on the 2nd floor. Staff friendly and attentive
