The Crooked Surgeon is just off Leicester Square so don't expect drinks to be cheap.
That aside it's a decent pub if you're in central London and want to watch the football.
If you don't want to watch the football then i suggest the Captains Cabin on Norris St just off Picadilly or one of the numerous Samuel Smith's pubs in Soho.

Crooked by name, crooked by nature. I bought a large round of drinks and was horrified to discover that the bartender had added a gratuity to the bill without my consent. The round was £29.95 and the "gratuity" was the same amount, making the round a whopping £60. Criminal behaviour.

I went here to meet some too-long-gone mates and former work colleagues, and firmly expected it to be a place I wouldn't touch with a burning flagpole. Well, it surprised me - very friendly, smiling staff, decent prices and a good range of beer (though I stuck to lager, shamefully). Even the bogs were clean enough to deserve a positive comment. Not a place for me, but considering the location a lot better than expected. Blimey.

I would highly recommend visiting this venue, the atmosphere is great, food of a good qqality and a variety of products are on offer. The staff are always friendly and the service is great. I suggest that anyone who thinks otherwise, and I notice the comments are a little out of date, visits again as it is certainly one of the best pubs in the area.

Still basically the old hogshead, nothing has changed except for a slightly darker refurb. Still a good place to watch football (although sometimes you have to nag the bar staff to put the sound on). Still a popular starting point for numerous birthdays, hen and stag parties etc. The Stella tasted a bit strange and then I noticed that the next pint out was full of yeast / mould............

This place is fairly good if you are in the area and looking for a place not too rammed. Recently had a refurb and looks much better than the old hogs-head days. Good selection of lagers, but be warned, this just may be the MOST EXPENSIVE pub in London. £3.60 for a pint of Heineken. HA!

real ale choice serously depleted since my last visit though Deuchars in excelent condition, pretty average pub - there are better options in the area

Was in on Wednesday 11/4 and found it a very friendly and decent pub until 10.40. Was asked to vacate my seat to go and stand in the cramped bar area so they could wash the tables and put the chairs up. Did not hear a last orders bell and tried to get another beer at 10.50. The barman said nothing but made a slit throat action. Could not believe that a bar in the west end closes at 11.15 and does not sound a last orders bell.

Fairly large pub close to Leicester Square which doesn't seem to have the queue of people outside. Beer ok. 2 pool tables upstairs
