Busy, efficient pub which is just far enough from Leicester Square and Covent Garden to avoid being overrun by the hordes. Usually four real ales on.

Great little place for a cheeky one before the theatre. Good drink selection and quick service at a very busy time.
|
Another decent little pub if in the area. Not worth making a journey for but a good option compared to some others nearby

Suprised to see comment from Beer Barn. I ate there on Friday night in the restaurant upstairs and was impressed by the welcoming attitude of the staff. Was very busy in there but our food came within 15 mins. Great for a quick meal before the theatre.

Went here to eat but service was awful, absolutely disgraceful. Felt thoroughly insulted and left before we ate. My recommendation: DO NOT EAT HERE
|
Decent boozer, friendly staff.

Run of the mill West End pub. Ale was adequate although there was nothing that really made this anything more than an average experience.

Not the most interesting of pubs but sometimes this can be of an advantage as it tends to be less busy than some of its illustrious neighbours. There is nothing specifically wrong with the C&A, it is functional, friendly and serves a decent selection of 4 ales – Theakstons, Directors, Adnams and on my recent visit Adnams Explorer. They are Cask Marque accredited so the quality is generally good. The pub is fairly small, a single extended room with bare floors and quite a bit of window space and whilst it is all a bit plain with no real character or features, there are efforts to make the place more cosy and inviting: large pot plants at either end of the bar, twinkly lights in the windows etc. The bar area is fairly open with seating around the windows but there is a small more intimate area towards the rear. A pub history on the wall says more about the area than the pub itself. There are 2 basic TVs, a fruit machine and upstairs is a restaurant with a typical tourist menu. Nothing spectacular but OK if you want to have a reasonably peaceful pint.

Visited on a saturday night, busy but not too jammed. Staff were well presented and welcoming. Bar was clean and tidy and had a nice selection on draught. Would definitely go again.
|
packed on a friday night, which is copeable but not when it is a shit pint. The only redeeming feature is the land lady's procariously balanced puppies.
|
Better than it has any right to be. Nice pint of Landlord too.
|
A fairly ordinary and dull corner location Nicholson's pub.
|
Friendly, clean and good beer - give it a go!
|
Nice little pub. A very good stopping off point whilst shopping or pub crawling. Good quality john smiths.
|
It is nice,corner pub near Trafalgar Square.Very friendly regulars and staff.In fact it is very small,but it got it's own charm.Especially charming is Frenchie from the staff.
|
No character to this small pub im afraid.It is tiny inside and due to its large windows and busy corner spot I always feel that im having a pint in a goldfish bowl.Only use as a last resort.

RIP - OFF !!! £2.70 for a pint of bitter and it tasted like bloody water, complained and the bar man just shrugged his shoulders and muttered a few things under his breathe. I am going to report this place to the brewery as it is bloody awful! 0 / 10!!!!!!
