Decent Sam Smith pub, and surprisingly quiet for a Soho boozer. Friendly staff and a decent pint of Pure Brew. Typical Smith's refurb interior of high-quality etched glass and mahogany.

Cheap beer, nice crowd... great for a couple of skinflint pints but you wouldn't want to have a night out here. It's more of a stop-off place.

From all perspectives a fine pub. It gets busy like anywhere in London, but not mobbed like other places. The staff are friendly and efficient but won't stand for any drunken stupidity. Clientele therefore tend to be people out for a pleasant social gathering, rather than an evening of intoxicated lunacy, so it won't suit all tastes. The Sam Smith's Cider and Pure Brewed Lager, which is served in a unique tall glass are both worth sampling.

great pub, nice relaxed atmosphere amongst hustle and bustle of soho. it's very sad that some people are fickle enough to believe that because something is not too expensive it's rubbish - that couldn't be less true with the white horse. fantastic beer, fantastic prices

Ignore the comments about the beer being "cack".It's just that the submitter doesn't like Sam Smiths ales.Try any of the bitters,wheat beer or stout.Whats more,at this present moment in time,you'll still get 2 for a fiver!I always make a point of using the "horse" whenever I'm in London.The regulars are a great crowd and the big lad behind the bar is good for a laugh and always has the crack with us.

A very mixed place with a charm and a warm friendly atmosphere. As usual, the beer is cack but at least its cold, it counts for something.

Decent place - from memory the 'man in a box' lager is headache juice so be warned.
Nice atmosphere, would recommend

I’ve been in this place loads, it’s a bit of a centre of town local for me. The service is always good, you can almost always get a seat and it’s cheap.
Some of the weirdest experiences of my life have taken place in this pub. Usually has lots of strange patrons and tourists.
The food is typical pub stuff, but the portions are insane. The Tuna Melt in particular is a monster. I would recommend this place to anyone.
Pity about Sam Smiths no music policy though.

Generally not a fan of Sam Smiths pubs; I don't think their beer tastes of anything in particular but it is cheap so I guess you get what you pay for. The night I was in it was full of drunk blokes with a few of them kicking off. Can't imagine going back anytime soon.

Busy on Saturday (obviously), cheapest beer in London, lots of luvvy types drop in. Good central position...Reccomened!!

Used to love this pub. Sam Smiths I'm afraid is like drinking lighter fluid (and I'd know). Awful stuff. The draught lager and bitter leave alot to be desired. Ambiance is nice and staff although all foreign are helpful and know their job.Until + if the beer changes ... wont be back.

Sam Smiths. Friendly service, decent beer at good prices. Nothing sensational but well worth a stop if you're in the area.

This is a lovely pub, during the day you can walk in and get a very filling portion of curly fries, a quiet piny, very friendly bar staff. At night we packed it out and still it was a pleasant pub, clean toilets and no hassle at kick out time!

Soho? Snigger!
Quiet boy!
Sorry sir, it's a nice pub though? Close to the clubs you go to, isn't it sir.
Harrumph!
Take that as a yes then, as my Dad saw you on Saturday night.

Fantastic place. beer is great and very well priced for the west-end. shame no music (but thats sam smiths for you) great traditional menu! Also a place to spot some stars.....

Pleasantly surprised that on a Thursday night there were spare tables upstairs. Not sure about the 'real ale' - the Old Brewery was served from a keg not a hand pump. And only one toilet (F)!

Lovley upstairs bar, good mix of people, cheap, different beers to your normal pub, friendly and attractive bar staff, waht more do you want?

Bog standard but fairly agreeable pub from the Sam Smith's stable. Cheap for a Soho pub too.
