Nice bar, Fruli on tap. only downside no table and chairs outside, so can be uncomfortable if you are a smoker, apparently the council objected to having tables and chairs outside. European cafe culture, *I dont think so.

i quite liked this place - good quality beer and the girl serving us in the upstairs bar last week was brilliant - witty, informed, happy..
really very small and pokey toilets tho....

Much better from it's previous incarnation as the faux Irish establishment O'Neill's. Mayfair was crying out for a bar like this the decor is retro 1970's but feels and looks right. A good selection of continental lagers, some real ales(not my scene) good wine list and extensive range of spirits. As for the bar staff no complaints there very friendley and professional. clean and tidy establishment, couldnt imagine the hopheads liking this place too upmarket for them. A good place to have a drink before watching a film at the Curzon. I have to conclude that this is the best establishment in the area,apart from Windows the bar on the top floor of the Hilton.

Now called the Market Tavern after a complete refurb. Gone upmarket as is the trend these days, could fair well in this area. Extensive range of lagers and 3 real ales on when i visited, very dimly lit with fairly indifferent staff.

I think this pub is great happened to come across it one evening and was pleasantly suprised, not over crowded but pleasantly busy and somewhere to sit(always a bonus!) And its the first pub where when I asked for a glass of nice white wine I was offered a good selection and helped in my choosing by the very friendly bar person! I and my friends thoroughly enjoyed the experience and are planning on stumbling across this pub again! well done Staff!!

Have been a few times now and each time I am not dissapointed. Beer and Guiness are good and the staff were extremely friendly. I had the good fortune to meet the manager last week who turned out to be a very knowlegable and in fact quite a funny pub landlord although his quiff is rather odd.

The least authentic, least real, least charming pub in the area. Had a horrible gassy pint of Bulmers draft which made me feel ill (the London Pride was off). Was able to get a seat, only plus point.

Simly the best Friday evening pub in Shepards Market!

This wasn't that bad of a pub. At least the service was good and it was better than sitting at the grapes staring up at ceiling bored out of yer effing skull.

We went to this pub two years ago after my mate ran the London Marathon and i have to say it was one of the best pubs i have ever been to after a London Marathon.
The Quality of the Strong Continental Lager was second to none and i will be looking forward to returning there this year.

Probably the worst of the 4 pubs in Shepherd's Market. It draws you back because you are more likely to get a seat - however, I think that this is because the locals have decided that it is not worth the effort. My abiding impression of this pub was that the ales were bog-standard Irish rubbish that could be served up anywhere, and that the bar staff were hopeless, being more interested in hanging about the rear of the pub smoking fags and wishing they were back home in Mostar or wherever. Avoid.

i have only been here out of choice once. says it all i think.

Thanks to a recent cost-cutting measure, meals such as burgers that would usually come with a generous side portion of chips now only get the smallest portion imaginable - lucky to scrape into double-figures. What used to be a great value pub lunch is now a right royal ripoff. Be warned!
