This pubs is definitely shut, it's like the Marie Celeste, with glasses still on the bar and all the christmas decor still up. I've never been in but it's quite sad to see nonethless, another one of the 5 pubs closing in Britain every day...

My Favorite pub in London!
Always a hit on the Dukes Head FC London Drink Up!
Sorry we missed it this year!

rare old-fashioned pub off leicester square, has lots of character although it's a bit care-worn. reasonable beer, friendly staff
|
Dirty little pub, but worth a stop if you are out of options.

This pub is a comedy shrine as many Tony Hancock fans would know it's writers used to drink here and incorporated the name of the pub into Hancocks Half Hour.
Though quiet and discreetly hidden from the rest of the West End throng, it sadly has a hygiene problem. Every time I've been in, there's always been quite a few flies knocking about. And the beer always tastes like they haven't cleaned the pipes for months. Shame as this pub, if cared for, could have great potential.

what a refreshing change.

This is our pub. The staff are always friendly especially the crazy Korean girl.Usually get a seat and its nicely tucked away from the hoardes of theatre people and tourists. For extra entertainment, watch the car park over the road. Its amazing how many idiots can't manouvre themselves in or out of there without making a right balls up.

Cosy little pub just a short distance away from Leicester Square (but nowhere near Covent Garden, despite what the listing says). Not too convinced about the bar staff, though...
|
I wouldn't recommend here but for the bubbliest Japanes barmaid in the world!!! It's not too busy but it's not for seasoned pub goers.
|
The only time this place was ever decent was when the main manger was off sick, and the people who took over acctually treated customers as of they were wanted! Don't bother going.

Popped in here a few times in the last few weeks nice staff and pleasant pint of beer. Worth a vist is passing by.
|
Staff are slow and very rude. They made a mistake in our order and even after we pointed it out to them they didnt pour another drink but expected us to pay for their mistake. Wont be going back again.

A nice little pub with friendly stsff and a nice pint of ale food is served as well hand for the National Gallery.

Been in here many times over the past 15 years, but my as of yesterday, it has lost a few points for me. The staff were mixed - one friendly, one who was PIG ignorant. Any regulars will surely know who I mean. Certainly explains why there were 4 people in at 2pm on Sunday afternoon, yet a few yeards away, the excellent Tom Cribb was alive.
Too much competition in the area for this one to survive if things don't change.

agree with all comments below - the upstairs lounge is definitely worth a visit, it seats 10-12 and can hold a group of 30, perfect for after work-drinks. also its central & easy enough to get to and apparently now open on sundays. when we visited they'd just started a new spring menu which was great - will def come back.

I've been walking past this pub for years and never visited as it doesn't look particularly welcoming from the outside, but looks can be deceiving. A good atmosphere in the downstairs bar, but very limited seating, but loads of room in the bright upstairs lounge. Large pub menu, at reasonable prices. Would recommend.
