please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Nine of us visitied here , one of our group a european was attacked by a foul mouthed local who then verbally abused all of us , we left leaving just three people in the pub . If the management prefer one local to a group of nine who would have stayed for a second pint then they can go bancrupt with pleasure. I will certainly never return and will inform all my drinking buddies to avoid .

Used to be quaint but grotty. Renovation has greatly improved it. One of the best in London.

This place is an absolute gem, so much so that I travel from Victoria to Marylebone just to go drinking here! There's not much room inside and it's handy to bring your own climbing apparatus to get to the gents but there are as many seats again outside and the staff are brilliant and chatty, so you don't feel claustrophobic. There's also a flat screen TV which doubles as a jukebox, often playing classic hits from the 80s. Pure bliss.

Great place,top landlord(apart from the fact he looks and smells like an aged hippy),nice beers,nice walk upstairs to toilet,used to have great quiz on sundays(they stopped it because this really handsome bald chap kept winning it),great staff.Food soon to be served(about the time when hell starts to freeze over)

Used to be a post-Lords tradition, but quite frankly the refurb has removed the whole character of the place. It was once a quaint little local, a real oasis, now the interior looks like a whitewashed council house. The London Pride in there used to be excellent (especially after the John Smiths canned rubbish they sell in Lords), last time it was flat and tasteless. Sad to say, but this institution is no longer recommended.

Popped in here on the strength of the reviews below and was disappointed. The bar was tiny, brightly lit, poorly decorated and very smokey. Grizzly locals inside, students on all the seats outside.
Only two ales on tap and my London Pride was a masterpiece of pouring - stick the glass on the drip tray and use both hands on the pump to squirt a pint out. Keep pulling until the massive, frothy head created eventually washes away over the side.
I left after I'd finished a hasty pint and went to the Hobgoblin around the corner and it was much better.

Lovely pub, good pint of Flowers.
|
Very nice little pub, worth seeking out.
|
Wonderful little pub, with wonderful staff and clientel. Want a nice little pub that isn't full of twats? Pop in here.............
|
The interior is a bit spartan: after a 4-5 mile canal walk from Islington yesterday evening, a friendly enough welcome and a quiet pint sitting outside was great. The London Pride was OK, and the Flowers Original better. And they sell Twiglets!
Pity really that it then got inundated about 9.00 with over 20 dymanic enthusiastic and cosmopolitan new students from the London Business School, so the tranquility of this back street was disturbed. Worth indeed going back to ....

Used to be a good pub (have visted infrequently over the past few years) but change in bar staff means the atmosphere is now less welcoming and service has certainly slipped e.g. barmaid served a pint which was the dregs of a dying barrel and refused to take it back as 'it looked clear'.
|
At last, the long awaited refurb is happening. This is still the smallest pub around, it still has excellent beer, and it still has the most wonderful folk behind the bar. However, it is now bright and airy, not at all as it was, and it will have food very soon! Come and try it, and see if Marylebone's best kept secret has kept it's attraction, and reached new heights of punter satisfaction. I'll bet you'll come again.
|
Very friendly staff, and the punters ain't bad either. A little small side perhaps, but I prefer the term 'compact and bijou'. Always a warm welcome.

Amazing pub - someone's front room, but very nice if very local
|
I went to this place recently late afternoon during the week. As said below, it's very friendly and a great little pub, but if you get more than a dozen people in there, it's uncomfortably full.
|
A little gem of a place, you can bring your own take-away on a saturday night and watch Match of the Day with the local lagerheads. Very friendly, great jukebox and beer.
|
I call this pub 'The Best Pub in the World' whenever I talk about it to my friends, and it has never disappointed so far. Bloody fantastic place to drink. Friendly and all.

Good Flowers and Pride, very friendly, home from home. Go twice and become a local!

This has got to be one of London's smallest pubs! Great little place with loads of character, a very friendly barman & a lovely pint of Guinness! Don't tell everyone, though - there ain't room for many!
