Fairly drab and joyless pub, Lone barman on Saturday night made no effort to remember who had been waiting longest to be served and it wasnt even that busy. I think there may be a bias towards the mostly charmless regulars / locals. They are welcome to it.

A former favourite of mine from some years ago, but I hadn't been in for a while. Six pumps but only two on yesterday, Pride and Wooden Hand Brewery's Cornish Buccaneer. A decent brew but served slighly hazy. This is a smallish street corner bar with a wooden floor, panelled wainscotting with seating around the perimeter of the L shaped bar area. A further room upstairs remains unvisited by myself. A better beer choice would up this a mark as would a good clean and tidy as things are a bit shabby it must be said. I'm not sure what the Jolly Roger flags are for. Stand Up is advertised on Tuesdays at four quid.

Has taken a turn for the better, under new managment who have cleaned it up, got rid of the scary big TV with plans to put in new TV's and Sky. Great pint of Landlord and a great choice of sausages

Small pub, but I am surprised by the modest user rating. On a busy pre-Christmas night in Fitzrovia, it was full but not crowded, and had a really friendly atmosphere. Nice pint of Adnams Bitter. Recommended for those willing to take a few steps away from Tottenham Court Road or Goodge Street.
|
Reasonable little pub, don't know about the upstairs. Pride, 6X and Adnams Bitter were available. Packed on a Friday night so had to go outside. A decent alternative to the Jack Horner for a pre Astoria pint.
|
A great place for a lunchtime pint and a ploughmans, but fat too crowded after work.
|
Good pub with a pleasant feel to it. Was a bit dead on my visit but I got the feeling that things could really get going here - in a positive sense.
|
Cute pub - nice upstairs room - great food - my pal and I play Scabble there occasionally on a Saturday.

funny little place.an ok pint but the landlord looked as if he'd rather be anywhere else but in his own pub. Quite oldy worldy with a good chippy across the road.
|
First of a number pubs I visited on Friday. Very busy by the time I got there at 6pm so ended up drinking outside in the cold. Timothy Taylor Landlord was nice and kept me warm. Ok for a quick pint but unless you get there early and can bag a seat not a place for a session. Just too damn small for a pub in this popular drinking area. Good meeting point as very easy to find.
|
not a bad place.. and if your one of these people that get turned on while a dog humps your leg. the landlords golden retreiver will gladly oblige... might see it in a gimp mask next time ... who knows

Head up the stairs, what's this in the corner? Hurrah, a darts cabinet. Open it up, oh dear. There is a round thing which looks like a dartboard but isn't. OK beer at least.
|
very small boozer, friendly locals, good for a post work heart starter but does get packed quite quickly. In summary, does what it says on the tin.
|
mmmmmm sausages!
|
Small one room corner bar with an upstairs lounge. 6 pumps with four different (standard) ales. Outside seating. Music. Casual, no nonsense and popular (as are most of the pubs in this corner of Fitzrovia). Sausage menu. Next door to Pollocks Toy Museum. The Adnams Bitter was OK but rather dull and lifeless. All in all, it's a pub, and it works, but don't expect anything special.
|
Very busy and a little cramped, but has Landlord on tap! Punters are usually friendly and relaxed. They also have 'Sausage Of The Week'.
|
Good Pub, Great real Ale and bottled Belgian beer.
Good atmosphere, although the bar staff are too busy to be friendly.
Biggest problem is that its too busy in the after work session
for the size of pub, usually clears enough by 7.30 though.
|
This pub was packed on a Wednesday lunchtime when I dropped by. Had a pint of London Pride which was okay. Food served which appeared to be in good sized portions.Upstairs lounge bar which doubles as extra seating / restaurant was cramp and smoky.

Dire. Extremely dire. I work just across the road and wouldn't dream
of going in there. Fine if you're an old man with a builder's arse, bad if you've got any kind of taste.
|
it's a real dive now. the owners are arrogant b******s and the staff are quite rude. i head now to the prince of wales down wilton road just around the corner. much friendlier and the food's really good.

great atmosphere, best cask ale in london and delicious sausages

This pub (aka the Sausage Emporium at one point) was the greatest discovery of our lives. Small, cosy, utterly friendly foreign student staff and lovely owners who sold a myriad of different sausages with bountious portions of mash and lashings of gravy, as well as a good range of ales and pre-requisite lagers. Then it got new owners who took down the sausage emporium sign much to my gay friend's disappointment, and ruined the menu. Any sausages we did order were late or, in group orders, occasionally forgotten about.
I don't go there any more.
Shame really.

....oh and by the way, they sell Timothy Taylor's Landlord, which usually lasts less than 2 days when its put on !

I worked at this pub three years ago and liked it a lot. They have six cask conditioned ales at all times and two guest cask conditioned ales that change.

Small, cozy, traditional english pub with traditional beers and a bloody good atmosphere. Fun staff.
