user reviews of the Hour Glass, South Kensington

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Decided on this as a lunch venue after attending a sale at Christie's. Quite wide frontage but short on depth inside but, nevertheless, it's reputation in earlier posts is well-deserved. My Black Sheep was in fine form and the food freshly cooked and my friend's sweet 'n' sour was rather too much for her! Friendly landlord who seemed impressed when I told him that the pub had been recommended on this website and I gave him a little background to this excellent site that hasn't let me down yet! Keep up the good work BITE!

There was a nice atmosphere in this small place. The bitter smells wonderful.

Cosy pub that is smaller than it looks from the outside. Open fires and traditional feel. Outside seating which would be nice in the summer. Toilets are clean but dated. Locals and staff appeared friendly. Superb real ales, London Pride and the guest ale was Black Sheep on my visit. Large selection of lagers if you like that sort of thing. Big plus was the excellent fresh homecooked food, not the branded frozen ready meal rubbish you get in most London pubs.

Awful service/rude staff [the couple that run the place also have a bad attitude]. Surprised folk drink here.

Don't bother drinking in this pub. Move on and spend your hard earned cash elsewhere.

Found this to be a bland and rather unremarkable pub. Limited selection of beer on offer. Was a bit packed when I was there.

Small and friendly. Just recently had their food menu revamped and by gosh is it nice now. Everything freshly cooked. We miss the opportunity to buy bangers and mash with - wait - 9 Sausages!!! that was on the old menu.

Even though it is small, always manage to get a seat.

Great staff. Great locals. Dodgy toilets. New (and slightly rubbish) quiz machine. If you're ever in the vicinity of the Hour Glass and feel like having a drink in the Hour Glass, it's well worth popping in.
