Busy pub when I visited on Friday evening, but the staff seemed friendly. Very impressed by the restaurant upstairs, very good food and reasonably priced.

every city has a hidden gem and this is most definately one. What every tourist needs is champagne and great food to keep you shopping in this stunning city, and what made it even more refreshing was the value. This is a must !!

smashing place for a relaxed beer or two.

Pleasant London boozer. Get's very busy at times as the local office workers (like me) stream out of an evening to quench their thirst. Good ales, Tribute and Landlord are in fine form at the moment. Cider on tap. Upstairs there is a very comfortable dining area & the food is excellent. There's another bar downstairs that has a different, "hipper" atmosphere, also often rammed though.

Nice large pub with a good range of beers. The pint I had was excellent and will definitely go back if in the area. Service was a bit slow but it was busy.
|
Things are looking up, beers were nice and staff friendly. Mixed crowd in but not too busy (around 7pm on a Wednesday evening). Not sure I'd go out of my way but fine if you are in the area.

3 crown cask marque, with good (but cold) ale. Friendly bar staff and nice downstairs bar. Very helpful with reserving an area and didn't charge for the privilege...now to see if it's as good when we have a crowd.
|
Gone downhill massively. All ales off today. Lagers completely flat. Too hot apparently..........

Shelleys is no more. It closed down for refurbishment.
Re-opens at 5pm tonight - now called The Kings Head.

Eastern European lass is actually growing on me. Always got a smile and looks after the regulars.
Upstairs bar is best place to eat.
Very cheap for Mayfair

I had a private party in the upstairs bar last week and although not my first choice of venue I found the pub to be a great venue. First off the upstairs bar was free to hire, the staff got everyone who was not invited out of there pretty sharpish at 5pm, the drinks were not too expensive considering this is slap bang in the middle of Mayfair. Some of you aren't going to believe this but the eastern european girl behind the bar was in fact very pleasant and incredibly friendly - maybe she's got a pay rise of something. The beers on offer aren't extensive but a good all round selection of alcohol. The downstairs was packed and too smokey for my liking. I would recommend it.

Moody foreign chunky girl still working upstairs - she truly is dreadful. Customer service skills (eg politeness/smile) will one day bless our Eastern European friends. On the positive side, very cute, friendly South American girl working there (often in the cellar).
Shelley's is good if you can get upstairs or in the basement but half the time they are reserved for private functions. Groundfloor is a bit too manic. Prices are good and food isn't bad.

Moody foreign bitch still working upstairs, not sure there are 10 better pubs in Mayfair. Wine at £5.49 per bottle is pretty cheap. Food good.

Got to be the worst pub in Mayfair. The only saving grace is the price of beer which is reasonable for the area. Food is average and overpriced, the tables don't get cleared often enough and the staff aren't interested. Within 200 yards there must be 10 better pubs.

staff are still miserable and beer is rubbish

Nice pub, but moody foriegn bitch working on bar upstairs who obviously found it a chore to serve customers! Otherwise nice! Boyfriend ate in their and the food looked lovely and he enjoyed it!

Visited 18/3/04. Upstairs lounge with comfy sofas & 2nd bar was very quiet - good to catch up with ppl over a quiet pint (limited range). More atmosphere downstairs. A bit of a maze to find the toilets. Staff were miserable - and £30 minimum spend on cards is a pain. Take cash.

Food is very good and pub was generally quite nice. Staff are miserable though and there is a stupid minimum spend of £30 on debit cards
