Liked this one. Comfi seats upstairs, music is doable, nice bar staff, beer is fine.. 7/10.

This used to be the Falcon and was a fine pub for a late night snifter after dinner, the movies or a show.
Like the whole Leicester Square area it has gone distinctly down market - one for 19 yr old chavs from Kent
|
Mediocre. Walk across the road and spend your time and money at Waxy O'Connors, she's a beaut. This little trollop isn't really worth the while, she is fairly easy - but no class. 5/10.
|
Thought this place was ok. Staff friendly, nice indoors, didn't know there was an upstairs bit!
|
"as someone who earns many muliples of the average industrial wage", i dont particularly like this place - flat Fosters. Not so much "little sister" more "embarrassing uncle"
|
i like this one - upstairs is great; not often do you get drinks winched up to you. great views.
|
yep, it's got a lift for the drinks. not a bad gimmick, though not as good as the bogs at the london stone on cannon street. named after a terence trent d'arby tune.
|
yet another awful plastic paddy pub
|
If James Bond was real - he'd drink here. Although, I don't know what their Martini's are like, the rest of their drinks range is outstanding.
Superb for spying on the world below!

On a cold, wet afternoon in winter there's nothing better than sitting upstairs in Waxy's Little Sister for a few pints (especially if you get drinks sent up on the dumb waiter).
Unfortunately a couple of weeks ago I had one of the worst pints of Guinness I've ever had - what made it worse was the barman was a cocky little Irish fella who had the nerve to try and get away with calling it a pint.
I'll poke my nose in there again sometime but it won't be any time soon.
|
The upstairs is really nice with the sofas and the fireplace.
|
Nice intimate little pub that's a great spot for people watching.
|
not as good as the older brother across the road
|
The Falcon was a great pub. This isn't. Begorrah.
|
Eric B and Rakim have it, this place hasn't. Bland
|
Quirky little pub with a good selection of whiskeys. The bar staff were a good laugh and it has the intimacy and non-boorishness that you don't get in Waxy's proper.
|
Rubbish. terrible pint. Waste of space.
|
What a relief to find an Irish pub with Irish staff! Unlike the O'Neills across the road which was staffed by foreigners (Polish).
|
Couldn't get in [the staircase entrance] last night, hence 0 score.
4 fellas, 1 with tracky trousers on. He is not allowed in. We then go to another pub and then tracksuit man goes home. We go back to Waxys to try our luck. Only for the bouncer this time to say 'unless one of you is a lady, you cant come in'.
Well, changing trousers is one thing but i think undergoing a sex change is a bit extreme, just for a pint.
|
Have enjoyed it a lot - until last time, when they wouldn't let my wife and me in, cos of track pants!!! Hopeless.

Quite quirky, what with the dumb waiter taking drinks upstairs.
In practice a nightmare, as you finish up inadvertantly nicking someones drinks and vice versa

the mark of a fine pub is friendly staff and good beer or lager on tap.Unfortunatly this pub provides the thirsty punter with none of this.Looks good from the outside though,never mind.

Used to be The Falcon. Great pub and smashing upstairs bar. Now another tired Irish theme bar.
|
Eeek..waay too busy and crowded to be enjoyable..sorry.

Love it, love it, love it.
A gem of a pub in an area dominated by crap theme bars. Everything a pub should be.

really good little pub. upstairs is great. barmaids come round to get you drinks and are very friendly. worth it if you are out with a few mates.

Waxy's little sister is located just behind the swiss centre off LEICESTER SQUARE! and is at least a good five minutes walk from piccadilly. This place is quite superb, you wan watch the world go by, have a decent drink, with quite decent company too-well worth going to.

chilled version of Waxy O'connors over the road, lovely barmaid possibly called karina!

Nice and relaxed - Upstairs is good for people watching...Dumb waiter is good for the lazy people amongst us!

Good if small pub. I like the way they send orders up to the top floor using a dumb waiter.
