Excellent choice of real ale served at a perfect temperature (not warm!)by a discerning management - Jennings Cumberland Ale, Nethergate Suffolk County & Hogsback Tea on handpump on last visit. Additional handpump in the pipeline! Nice garden and BBQ for summer lounging.

I like this place. You get what you would expect from an upmarket pub on Parsons Green. Yes there are pretentious people in here, but it's safe, comfortable, the service is good, excellent wine list, and the food is very reasonable too for the quality. Why not I say!

I really like this pub. Nice atmosphere, beautiful clientle, good drinks: one of anly a few places to stock Tapio bottled cocktails. Yum yum...

Smart & sophisticated and full of stunning girls getting leathered on Pimms, Champagne and whatever else money can buy!
Love it!
nb The Wasps team often pop in after a game, which is cool esp if we've just beaten Leicester!

I avoided the NYE party on matter of principal. Although I like this pub, I find NYE one of the most overrated evenings of the year and the thought of spending £85 in the hope of avoiding disappointment seemed to be too risky for my blood...
Other than that. I enjoy the seclusion and style of this pub. Not too bothered by the sloane element and fairly uninspired by the staff, to be honest...
Good place for a quiet drink before heading somewhere interesting. Alternatively, very good for birthday drinks with a large group so you can take it over!

I disagree with the comments about NYE at Aragon House. I went with some friends and had a great time [pissed as a newt]. The atmosphere was great - loved the chocolate fountain!

I went here with a large group of friends for NYE 2005 each paying £85 for entry and drinks all night. I was bitterly disappointed to realise that after 5 vodka+tonics I was still sober. The rest of the girls in my group who were drinking spirits said the same, as did the table next to us. When one of my friends went to the bar, and said "oh don't bother putting any mixer in that vodka, I'll just down it" he was told, "No- this wasn't allowed, that they wern't permited to give out shots of vodka". How is this possible when we were drinking shots of tequila thoughout the night?? They had watered down the vodka so much - that friends in my group who were drinking spirits were all sober at midnight. I feel angry to have paid so much money, to be ripped off and taken advantage of. I would not reccommend this bar to anyone.

Sort of bar you will love or hate. Sloanes love it. Chavs hate it. Rather pricey too.

Standing at the White Horse across Parsons Green it is almost impossible to spot this pub, and this is just one of its array of charming aspects. The staff are friendly, the beer is refreshing and the walking into the bar is like appearing in an issue of Country Homes. Big sofas, antique furniture and copies of the Sistine Chapel bedecking the walls make this pub a joy to take in. In the summer a BBQ is started in the endearing walled beer garden out the back, and one would struggle to spend a more pleasant, alcohol filled afternoon in London.
Of course, this pub does come with a warning: Sloanes patrol the area. But then again, if you're going to drink the best Pimms in London, you have to take the rough with the smooth.
Damn my expensive tastes!

Great establishment no riff raff as the bar is not well advertised from the road. Once you've been there and actually found the place you will return.

pretenious Hooray Henry haunt. I've never seen so many starched collars and chinos in one venue.

Top place to take a lady!! Great ambience, very well managed.

Very nice indeed. The barmaids that is. Oh, and the ambience is rather pleasant too. Can sit inthe very new, freshly landscaped garden and dodge frozen effluent being dumped from the Heathrow-bound airliners directly overhead. Still, its far more cosy that the White Horse, and the bottles of beer are well priced. Didnt use the loo there so no comment re. gold seats.

A great place, with a brilliant atmosphere. I must add, extremely well managed, with fresh, goodlooking bar staff. Good fun over the summer months...
10/10... gold * etc.

Always has a great atmosphere there is a good beer garden. The Bogs are very cool also. They have very strong air blow dryers!!! Gold Loo seats!! The hand Dryers are of Industrial Strength so you will be able to dry your hands. That is you wash after you shoot!

One of the best pubs in London, its got bags of character esp in the summer, great food, great atmosphere and best of all the staff are fast, friendly and welcoming I can't rate it highly enough.

A gem of a bar, great for people watching, friendly staff, perfect atmosphere for a quiet drink or a big boozy night out. Private function room available downstairs. The bathrooms are a must see! Definitely worth a trip

This is a great little bar just on Parsons Green. The decor is eclectic and the toilets are fab. The glittery gold seats and turbo hand dryer are a must see! I love coming to this bar as everyone is v. friendly, the only bad point is the bar staff are a little unsure how to make good shooters-one guy measured out ours with a teaspoon... aside from that I give it 4 out of 5. Great bbq in the Summer

Although a little on the pricey side, this is a great pub with eclectic decor always has a great atmosphere.
It has a lovely big garden in the back with a great bbq.
I highly recommend the Bloody Mary's too!!
