Visited here after the george , found it to be 1/2 busy , clean and ok . toilets were fine. 2 pints of pride and friend had a burger. all good , good service, staff actually looked attentive. fast becoming the best "pub" in the area , mainly because all the others are really going downhill. will be back i here tonight with 5 of us from work
|
Great pub--- different in that it's much more of a music pub. Great if you like loud atmosphere and music.
|
Love this pub, very different from the others around the Soho area.
Fullers beers on offer, The ESB was top notch on saturday evening.
The pub is very small, noisey and busy. The downside is the loos smell really bad, probably the worst smelling I have been into but dont let that put you off visiting.
|
Excellent pint of Bud (The real stuff not the American fizz). Ordered a burger after seeing other great looking plates of food coming out of the kitchen. It arrived quickly and tasted really good and at £6 was brilliant value. I'll be going back each time I'm in London.
|
Comments are spot on. I had London Pride, not bad but I've had better - mind you it was Friday afterwork so take that with a pinch of salt. Place was packed but was still able to get a pint without too much effort. Would like to go back. The Cote, resturant next door was amazing. We needed to eat after many pints and wanted a good meal. This and the Ship is not a bad afterwork combo.
|
Worst staff in London;and that's going some in Soho.
|
A Fuller’s pub with the usual range of ales – no guests. Pride was OK. There is a pretty interesting looking bar back, but don’t know how old it is or whether it’s an original feature.
Now a single bar pub, like almost all pubs these days. I remember when there was a small public bar at the front of the pub, where you could have a quiet drink during a Marquee pass-out while the main act and their entourage would be partying in the Saloon Bar. But some of the top names of the time would occasionally opt for the quiet drink in the public bar! Now it’s a fairly ordinary pub – but that’s good for this part of the world and OK for a pint if you happen to find yourself in Wardour St.
|
I totally agree with comments to the effect that this pub is an oasis in Soho. Prices are very reasonable for the West End and the toilets are perfectly bearable for a Jimmy (Riddle).
Re. the comment about a Bob Dylan CD, this pub was in the 60s through to 80s frequented by just about every pop and rock star as it was the nearest local to the MARQUEE Club! Definitely a 'rock history' pub.
|
I always head for The Ship when in this part of London- it's a rare example of a genuine, no-frills pub amongst the chic restaurants and upmarket theme bars which abound around here. Music is a constant feature, usually of the alternative kind, although on my last visit it was the entire Bob Dylan back catalogue- not exactly cutting edge. Beers are from Fullers, the ESB is excellent and the pub sometimes features in the Good Beer Guide. Most importantly this single bar pub has lots of dark wood and comfy seats with all kinds of people coming in for a drink, a really relaxing place to sit for a pint and watch the world go by.
|
One of the best in the area....always the same in an unspoilt way ?
|
Not been in for over 10 years but the Ship never seems to change, thank goodness! I first visited around 25 years back and I can't recall it looking much different back then inside, the loos are still as bad and small as many have commented already but that's about the only negative. Good old fashioned London boozer with the full Fullers draught ale range and probably the best and most eclectic CD collection anywhere. Very friendly service on my visit from the Aussie bar staff and reasonable beer prices too for the Soho area unlike some nearby neighbours.
So in all, a London pub as it used to be and still should be a million miles apart from nearby theme pubs and a good range of well kept Fullers ale. Who could ask for more?
|
A good option for anyone looking for an alternative pub in the Soho area. Although a bit too old-fashioned too be truly comfortable (with pretty poor loos), there's a friendly atmosphere.
|
I like this pub and try to pay it a visit whenever I am in London. The only Fullers beer available in my home town is Pride, which I don't like. The Ship serves ESB, which is much better. I also like the music, although I agree with a previous reviewer about the sound quality.
|
Good pub. First time in the place last night. Well kept Fullers - had a couple of pints of tasty London Pride and the house red wine was pleasant too. I don't understand a previous reviewer's comments about not being able to choose the music - so what? The fact that they play stuff you are not expecting is surely part of the pleasure, the serendipity of hearing stuff at random. My only complaint about the music would be the awful tinny nature of the sound system, I'm not sure if they are playing CDs or these are amplified MP3s, judging by the sound quality probably the latter. Everything came out sounding distorted and harsh, but fairly loud - not very pleasant. Don't mind it being loud, but do object to strangulated, tinny sound - it's so easy getting a decent system and so much improves the experience. Anyway, liked the pub a lot - diverse crowd, pleasant staff, agreeable traditional furnishings. Will be back
|
I think rampantwurzel and topdog_andy are missing the point about the The Ship somewhat.
Sure The Ship has the same beers as any other Fullers pub, but what it also has (which you can't create with a beer list and money-hungry jukebox) is a great atmosphere and vibe.
I was in there today and the music ranges from reggae to 50's, as well as rock. I'd much rather hear something new from the staff CD selection than wait for someone to feed a jukebox all day...
The service was prompt and pleasant - as was the crowd. A great pub.
|
Some interesting points here - my own to clarify
The pub is decoratively speaking, rather nice. Aesthetically, I cannot fault the idea of keeping a pub in tradition, and it's always good to see hand-pulls rather than identikit pub/clubs with three choices of lager - Fosters, Carling, Stella Artois....
To say it is the best pub in Soho is however taking it too far. Sure it's got ale, but it's a Fullers pub which essentially means (as Topdog has stated) it's the same as about a hundred other Fullers pubs (The Sun near Goodge St is another example but plays god awful 80's cheese). So the draw then is to listen to rock.
This is where I feel the place falls down. I like rock. I like rock a great deal and pine for the day the Interpid Fox returns to Wardour Street; however I also like to choose my rock. So either the place is exceptional in terms of music which you cannot choose (bands, or justa good DJ) or I choose my music. When I went there the staff pretty much stuck on CD's and seemed more interested in choosing a CD than serving people. OK, it's certainly a far distance from the worst service (Brew Wharf) but there's nothing exceptional about it.
Reasonable attempt, but by no means the best pub in Soho. There's many more better ones which I'd allude to but I'm sure you can read reviews.
|
Really don't understand why everyone makes such a big deal about this place. It's a Fuller's Pub. It looks like any other Fuller's pub. It has the same beers as any other Fuller's pub. The only thing that makes it different is the music, and to be honest, music-focused pubs should either have:
a) jukeboxes, so the customers can choose what they want to hear, or
b) DJs/Bands, where you can say "Oh......so and so's playing tonight, and I like what he plays, so let's go".
Instead, you have to rely on a member of barstaff with similar tastes working that night, and let's face it, when customers get to know a pub's staff rotas they're perilously close to being either alcoholics or stalkers.
Take any other Fuller's pub, turn up the music, and you've got The Ship. Nice, but nowhere near "the best pub in Soho".
|
Great small pub, not much seating but then I prefer to stand. Very friendly bar staff and the ale although a little too cold was very good.
Can recommend this for a stopping point on a pub crawl or before heading off to a club.
|
Best beer, staff, fun & pub in Soho, end of story.

Correction!!
Great beer (especially the ESB). Friendly customers and staff. A must for any real ALE (!) drinkers visiting Soho. A pub with character and tradition

Ah, The Ship Inn is not your bog standard back-street boozer. I paid a visit yesterday afternoon (28th July) and was suitably impressed. The interior is basic, but homely and the clientele a mix of the old and young. The Fullers beers I didn’t sample, but my Grolsch was cold enough, if slightly pricey. Staff were of the punk variety and I was mightily impressed with the vast CD collection behind the bar. Music was most certainly rocking. If Keith Moon was a regular, then it’s good enough for me.

Stroppy rude bar staff, particularly the ugly overweight quiffed bloke.

Best pub in Soho by a country mile. Well-kept Fullers beer, great tunes, cool-but-welcoming staff, nice mix of regulars, just-passing-thru's and shell-shocked tourists!
Don't go changin'...
|
This is my favourite pub in Soho.
It has a great group of people working there, fantastic music and a whole host of friendly characters popping in for a few pints.
This is a real pub for "musos" with a great selection of CDs and a load of very unpretentious staff and regulars that play and know their stuff.
It has the feeling of a great local in the centre of Soho.
|
I must have been at th epub the same time as Thebman, I saw the same group of blokes who were clearly trying to have nice evening out. But haircut just wouldn't let them have fun. I think it was probably down to jealousy than anything else because these guys were very good looking!
|
Never going here again. Bar manager was shockingly rude. The Elvis wannabe, who looked more like Mark Lamarr, insulted myself and my friends and spoiled our whole night. Mate, you've not done your pub any favours. Get a haircut.
anonymous - 30 Apr 2007 08:35 |
Not a bad place, but not sure I'd go there again. The music is a bit loud for a pub. Getting in was a kerfuffle as there was a group of lairy blokes all angry cos they got chucked out for some reason. Inside the service wasn't particularly friendly. The woman behind the bar had a go at me for not saying please as well which threw me a bit.
|
Great grotty rock pub in the middle of Soho. When the Marquee Club was down the road the headline band would occasionally drink in here first - very cheaply too as their fans would congregate here before the gig and battle to buy them drinks!
The Fullers ale is well kept, the music is loud but not unbearably so and it's usually rammed to the gills with a real mix of people from muso wannabees and local office workers to funky young things beginning their night out on the town.
|
not a bad pub
worth stopping in when in the area
|
good pint, good music, not enough room!
|
Fantastic boozer, just like a boozer should be, unpretentious and unself-conscious. Amazed to find out that the original punk stars, a la Sex Pistols, Clash Siouxsie & Banshees, X-Ray Specs used to drink in here! My heroes! This has a reputation as a musicians pub, and the staff and the music they play are testament to that. Great place to start or finish on a friday.
|
Went to the Ship for the first time for our pre christmas bash and had a great evening.
The Fullers was spot on, the music was loud and rocking and the atmosphere was lively.
Not sure if it was the stroppy landlady or Charlotte referred to in earlier postings, but the lady who seemed to be in charge of the strange assortment of totally black clad , rock Tee shirt wearing bar staff was far from stroppy and very lively and talkative, adding to the overall ambience. Definately will return
|
Is that stroppy landlady still there ?
anonymous - 18 Oct 2006 12:58 |
Best pub in soho
anonymous - 17 Oct 2006 14:24 |
I've been drinking in The Ship for years. I've always had great service and Charlotte the landlady is a star.
The music is always good and as it gets louder as the night goes on during a Friday or Saturday night I can work out when I should leave (not that I actually do).
I've also taken my retired parents in on a couple of lunchtimes and my father, not a man easily pleased, thought it was a "great pub".
|
My favourite pub in London and I'd say I'm talking thousands. Being going here over 20 years and its still the same now as it was in the mid eighties. Stillbeats the hell out of the tourist trap Fox over the road and is full of genuine friendly people who know there music and the passing inquisitive types who look around, nod, finish there pint and disappear outside the sidedoor. Drink snakebite and black in here,it's good for the soul.
|
A great pub, seemed to be run by a couple of Goths, but their taste in music seemed good when I was in there - The Doors, Waiting for the Sun - nice.
It's not pristine like an All Bar one, but it's by no means tatty
|
always the first port of call for meeting up. the ship is an oasis of calm in the stormy seas of soho.
|
stopped off here on a soho stag - was nice and busy with a good mix of punters - bar staff polite and efficient - only fault was that it's a bit tatty around the edges, but that may be what they are looking for....
|
Typical Fuller's pub, except it's in SoHo (therefore hideously expensive)
Pleasant, polite bar staff and efficient service. Pub is smaller than a microbe though!
|
I agree with Iceinthecider... can't see the attraction, other than the surviving original fittings. Overflowing ashtrays and so-so beer don't make a decent boozer in my view.
|
A quick scan of some of the previous reviews of The Ship might lead you to believe it's the ideal London public house. A traditional, "lovely old pub", a "great little pub" the "best little pub in Soho". What? Stonch is nearer to the mark - "grim". Why go here when there infiteley happier, unpretentious, 'traditional' equivalents barely a welly throw away? It's not even especially "little", in case any fans of broom-cupboard boozers are enticed by this prospect. Maybe Friday afternoon doesn't suit this pub well - it felt like a grey Monday morning. The most pleasant part of our visit was stepping outside into the rain.
|
The best little pub in Soho, I love the place since it was immortalised when I read The Clash drank here and their then manager, Bernie Rhodes insisted he had to have 'Complete Control' over the running of the band, which descended into Joe and Mick pissing themselves laughing and writing a song about it.
We found it out JUST for that story, but whenever I visit London, I always head to The Ship for a deserved pint.
|
When I first spotted this place, I saw the Fullers sign and swooned - perhaps I had found a refuge in Soho. Not to be. Even ESB on draught can't make up for the music. Quite a grim little place. 5/10 just for the beers however.
anonymous - 31 Jan 2006 17:18 |
I recently revisited this place after an absence of several years. Until the mid 80’s it was handy as a meeting place for the old Marquee Club that was situated a few doors down and along with the proximity of all the major film companies, you could always count on a bit of celebrity spotting. Today it still retains its classic rock angle and can best be described as a more civilised version of the Intrepid Fox further down the road where the music is more suited to extreme tastes in metal. At the Ship expect to hear the likes of Guns N Roses, Kinks and Black Sabbath from the well stocked CD collection behind the bar. One important rule - no dancing (there are signs up just in case you fancied a quick head-bang and the local council will jump on the pub like a ton of bricks if such deplorable behaviour is witnessed!). Instead, watch the sad old rockers of yesteryear (like me) tapping fingers on the bar whilst sampling the good range of Fullers beers like the good mature Real Ale tasters that we have all become (go on - admit it). The pub itself is 3 or 4 rooms knocked through and despite being a reasonable size, does not offer much in the way of seating. There are a few tables towards the rear but unless you are early enough to grab a stool at the bar or along the ledge running down the side of the pub, standing is the order of the day when busy. The carpet, windows and general décor are perhaps looking a bit tired but give the place a lived in, homely sort of feel with plenty of old pictures. If the walls could speak there would be a few good stories about this place (Keith Moon was apparently once a regular) and whilst those days have disappeared (like the Marquee) it is still worth a visit as it does offer something alternate to the so often bland, plastic, clubby bars that are springing up all with alarming frequency.
|
A great little pub and my favourite in London. Once you get past the negatives (not enough seats, tiny gents etc) you'll find The Ship is a home from home for those who can't be bothered with w****y soho fashion pubs. The music collection is fantastic, the locals are colourful but friendly, the staff are unpretentious and always up for a laugh and the beer is generally good.... although they could do with getting a decent lager in.
FAO Mr Anonymous: Charlotte is one of the few pub landladies I know who has genuine love for their pub and their locals. She doesn't suffer fools gladly but if you're on her right side you'll find out she's a top lass and an asset to the brewery. I for one think she's great. Hail to the landlady!
|
This is my local whenever in the Soho area. Lovely old pub with lots of original wood. Great music, good choice of drinks. Slight downside is there's rarely a place to sit. Have never seen it quiet, always busy.
Charlotte's (the Manager) fine. She's from Hereford. The music isn't loud enough to disrupt conversations.
|
I like this pub it's a rock pub but does not get full of pretentuos people like the Fox further down the street. It has the right ballance of being a rock pub but still being down to Earth. The people are proper and the prices are ok. The best pub in Soho that I've been to and I've been to my share. John the regular in theer is also a proper bloke see you soon matey!
LOL81 - 21 Oct 2005 21:08 |
Well, Mr Darlo Exile ( previous contributor ), it sounds like you've had an encounter with the notorious Charlotte. My sympathies - I agree, she is a nasty piece of work and should not be holding a customer - facing role, let alone managing the place
anonymous - 14 Oct 2005 12:46 |
This lunchtime was the second time in my life i went into this pub and was confronted by one of the most rudest and obnoxious barmaids (manager ?) I have had the mis-pleasure to endure for some time. They might have a great cd collection and the beer might be flawless - but I for one wont be coming back in a hurry. Go instead to the Fitzroy Tavern or John Snow, they do great beer and great service.
|
I usually end up in the Ship despite attempts to do other mini-crawls in the area without it. It's a great atmosphere most nights & fun to stare at the freaks, most of who seem to work behind the bar or are bezzy mates with the manager!
As I'm a 40-something male who'se not allowed to play his own record collection unless he's alone in the house, it's great to be in a place where Ian Curtis is still alive & The Smiths never broke up. One can't be fussy, but it would be nice if they'd put on a few more guest bitters now and again - but the Pride & ESB are perfectly decent.
They don't have any Fall Cd's either - so they're not perfect.
|
In terms of pubs, I normally like the traditional boozer with a laid back feel!!
This pub is traditional in decor, but with an alternative twist....in that it is laidback but uplifting at the same time!!!
Yes folks,The Ship on my visits had a friendly yet feisty bar manager (a young Irish girl).She employs staff as equally friendly and receptive as herself, has a good taste in music (which for my tastes is too loud,but for regulars is part ot the appeal).
To round it all off, the beers on offer are not the usual Carling and Fosters(Yippee!!!They thankfully serve ale!)
Avoid-If you are a quiet, retiring and shy type who wishes for peace and quiet!!!
Enjoy- If you wish to relive the heady days of punk and new-wave amongst genuine, un-pretentious people!!!
|
Gave this one a try after getting fed up with hostelries on usual crawl selling overpriced lager or (even worse!)selling Ayingerbrau. One of the few real old-fashioned pubs in the area. Beers cheaper than adjacent bars.
|
Was drinking in here a few weeks ago on a Monday night after lunching at Hakassan. Stayed on the Hoegaaden to make sure I knew what I was up to otherwise I would've neded up on/in the big dog.
|
Trad ..thin and long London Boozer...well kept cellar
|
It's been over 20 years since I first came here and though it has been smarterned up a bit since then, it still sells top-rate Fullers beers, and in good condition (the Ship is an entry in the current Good Beer Guide). It can get very busy and noisy, but if you like the buzz of the crowd and loud-ish music from the CDs behind the bar, and if you like a good pint or few of Fullers London Pride or ESB, then you will like the Ship.
|
Went in here the other night. Was already drunk (having watched super chelsea thrash barcelona) but noticed that the beer tasted better in here than the other pubs I had been to (it was also cheaper !). They were also playing rock / indie tunes which is better than the pop / dance crap that most other places play around the area. Would definitely go back !
|
This is my best pub in Soho. Shabby, friendly and untainted by pine - a proper boozer. Great music policy if you're into alternative, indie and punky sounds.
anonymous - 25 Feb 2005 11:57 |
Great pub, great beer, even better staff, even better landlady..... and sometimes she even plays Human League for me!
|
Great 'pubby' pub, in the middle of Soho...And they play brilliant music. This is often the starting point for me on many a night out, before I either run out of money and have to drink at the Wetherspoons nearby (Moon and Sixpence) or it gets late and I move on to another pub in the area (that opens after 11)..Nice pub tho.
|
Visited at midday yesterday. Very helpful and friendly barmaid. Nice pint of London Pride. Best of Lynyrd Skynyrd on the stereo behind the bar.
Must admit I thought the 'no dancing' signs were an ironic statement, considering the size of the pub, but judging by other comments on here I was mistaken.
All seemed very down to earth for wardour street which was fine by me and my friends. Went back later in evening before closing time, to find an overly noisy sweaty pub with little of the charm from lunchtime. Or perhaps I am just getting old!
|
One of my favourite pubs in the whole gosh darn world. A combination of superb Fullers ales, excellent alternative music and reasonable prices is pretty much all it takes. Tough to find a seat a lot of the time, and unbelievably packed on a Friday and Saturday night, but rightly so.
Unfortunately, this is another place the unbelievably miserable and fascist Westminster Council have decided to get heavy-handed with in regards to dancing. The self-righteous letter they sent even made it into Harper's Magazine in the US. A very amusing read in its own way: http://www.harpers.org/CallingKevinBacon.html
Very unfair to deny the right to dance to top tunes like Mudhoney and Pop Will Eat Itself.
|
Don't know what to say really. Went in there sober; came out drunk with a headache. Think I enjoyed it...dunno

Normal pub, but that in itself is quite a novelty in London! the staff seem nice, although it can be difficult to find a table, as it tends to fill up very quickly. well worth having a look in, particularly as part of a pub crawl (which has to include the Intrepid Fox!).
|
I don't think this pub has bouncers. There was a fat bloke wearing black who used to hang around the bar, but I think he's more 'bouncy' than 'bouncer'
Juliet - 21 Dec 2003 17:53 |

Totally ineffectual bouncer at the weekend - big ruckus last time I was there and the bouncer watched it develop along with the rest of us.
