Went to this place the other day and first impression was "what the hell is that stink?". I suppose smoking in pubs was good as it masked the horrific odours of students and tourists. If I had farted it would have made the place smell better.

Nice. Friendly staff, reasonable prices. Cheers to the barman from Stockport and the Sudoku champion sat in the corner. I don't remember seeing many tourists which is a plus. Didn't see anything that even resembled a theiving little tinker.

It really is your responsibility to look after your own possessions.

watch your back in this dive -- I arrived fresh off the plane with my backpack full of personal property and ignorant of the reputation for theft. The apparent good cheer of the staff and crowd masks a blatant disregard for your suffering when your cellphone, wallet, passport, medications, and every bit of cash, credit and identification disappears from UNDER YOUR JACKET hung on the back of your chair. I ditto the guy who says wheres the CCTV and security.

Pricy but pleasant enough Soho pub, though I wouldn't want to go there on a Friday night. Fit barmaids!
|
Having grown up in Soho I have seen most of the good the bad and the ugly come and go and have to say that I have now chosen this pub as my favorite Soho drinking pad. The wine list is great and the food is good classic pub grub. On my numerous visits I have found the staff - most of which appear to be English (a rarity in central London) - to be cheerful (always pleased to see me!) and very hardworking. The atmosphere here is very pleasant and quite relaxed. They have recently dropped their prices on some products which is a very welcome move. Too good to miss......
|
They have invested in this place with candles etc,I suggest the money shouldof been spent on security and cctv for the abundance of bags that get stolen in here!
|
I have been coming in here for years a good pre drink before you move on.It has changed alot now rude bar staff and crawling with theifs.I had my bag stolen with everything in it they didnt give a damn,they were rude,unhelpful and shifty,My pal had her purse stolen too and a work pal had her purse stolen.Dont go there is my advice its a dodgy place!
|
Had a great time here. Can`t really fault it. Atmosphere was welcoming. Great pint of Staropramen served by friendly and efficient staff and England won the football (typically nail biting match though) I will be back for more. Recommended.
|
A little too small to be able to be much fun - service was quick for food though, and wines were of good quality.
A good stop for a couple of drinks, but that's your lot
|
Truly awful. Always has been and perhaps always will be. Used to hate this place but hadn't - so I popped in recently to see if it'd had improved. It hasn't. Avoid.

Bored, disinterested barmaid. No ice, no brandy - no wonder it was nearly empty on a Friday night. Didn't stay
|
The only good thing about this pub is the fact that they sell Kronenberg White Beer.

ceasar salad was an expensive lettuce with crumbs on it!
The beer was expensive too.
Service was awful - nice girl with a nice boosom but didn't speak a word of english and couldn't use the till
|
Nope. Cheaper than surrounding bars but there's a good reason...V. poor service, dodgy wines and it's dingy and cramped - poor use of space.
|
CRAP CRAP CRAP... have everything to be the best in the area, but surely poor management reflects everywhere...
|
I ate in here once, it wasnt great. The beer selection is average. Good place to meet people before moving on.
|
Not sure about this place really - the beer is quite expensive and may be lacking in quality (I had one of the worst stomachaches of my life after a night in here). Also lacks atmosphere although the downstairs bar is ok. There are better pubs / bars in the immediate area.
|
Went in here in October and had to wait for a table in the restaurant as it was so busy. The food was great. There was a range of specials and the manager was on hand to make sure we were looked after and seemed to get very annoyed when the food took more than ten minutes.
So, went in last week. No wait. Food was awful and staff running round like headless chickens. Shame.
|
What a shame it's been done up - it had far more atmosphere before the makeover.

Walked in and felt I had entered The Slaughtered Lamb; i.e. all present immediately fell silent and stared at us. Noticed beer was nothing to write home and place was full of smoke. So walked straight out. Crap!

Huge lack of identity, there's 5 types of flooring, and art work new and old not very nicely combined... Please call one of DIY programs...

Used to be better before they Ikea-d it up. Still not too bad, but very sterile and atmosphere is pants.

Wikid Pub, a good place to meet friends and have a drink b 4 hitting the town. The staff are very friendly, i'd give it 8/10.

the manager of the pub not only is unfriendly but has no idea of how to do her job. Won't go there again. The food is disgusting and you wait ages for it and when it comes is cold. The toilets stink.

Had to wait an hour for a burger and the first time we went there the burger and food was cold
|
Like this pub a lot - good atmosphere on a Fri night, gnd floor is nice and cosy and a good place to meet friends before going out in town.

I love this pub. It is actually well located. And there is a beautiful lady-bartender upstairs. =)
|
The Comedy Club offered is well not worth it. £9 for a ticket and complete waste of time.
