Why aren't more pubs like this? Very friendly staff, the Real Ale is utterly superb, nice to see a mild in the month of May. They like a good rugby match on the telly!

Great little pub this. Not pretentious at all as some Henley pubs are. I was in there with friends last week and it was a very enjoyble evening. Staff are friendly and its a homely little pub. I will be back.

I live in Henley and this is one of my favourite pubs I have ever been to.
I am not a local to the pub in that they know my name.
For me it is a great place to go for a quiet pint with a couple of mates to sit chat maybe be watch the football on the telly and drink some great local beers.
There is no loud blaring music music just the quiet chatter of voices.
It is a little shabby but that is part of its charm. It won't be for everyone - I never take the wife for a drink here as she doesn't appreciate its charm.

Quiet, old fashioned pub with five cask guests in good condition. Pump clips of past beers are on display - always a good sign. A small back room leads to a charming, quaint beer garden complete with tinkling fountain in a small pond. Exotics birds twitter in a birdhouse on the left. The whole place is very peaceful, though surprisingly lacking in distinct character.

A great pub with three regular ales (Brakspears, London Pride and Hook Norton Hooky Dark) and two guest ales, all well kept. This is my favourite pub in Henley - no juke box, no fruit machine, a friendly atmosphere and did I mention the beer - fantastic. Decor not great, a bit smokey at times (but it is a pub after all) and sometimes there is football on the big screen TVs but then you can't have everything.

An excellent freehouse, with five (count 'em) ales on Saturday night in good condition in friendly, comfertable surroundings, especially on a cold winter night.
A real pub!

darrendrinker - You're confusing the Bird and the Queen's Head. The latter is on the corner at the traffic lights, the Bird if further up the hill on the left (about 150m or so)
There is just no comparison.

Tried to go to this pub last weekend and found it being refurbished into a trendy bar

Graham keeps a fantasic pint. Even the Brakspear Brewery guys used to drink here as it does the best beer in Henley, bar none.
He'll have at least 4 real ales on at one time (often more) and has just switched from Draft Budweiser Budvar to Staropramen (also draft), so quality all round.
Good beer garden.
Excellent value pub food too. Try the Chilli if you dare.

Best pub in Henley. End of story.

Free House. One of the best pints of London Pride I have ever had.
