I have to agree with the comments below while this pub has a good choice of beers & a jukebox you can't get passed the fact...it smells !!
|
after the smoking ban - this place smells like pooh :(
|
Went in there last Saturday night for a quick drink. Place was fairly busy and it definitely is a nice traditional boozer. It was only let down by a really bad stale smell.
|
Had a booking at a local restaurant last night and popped into this place beforehand as we were a bit early based on the previous reviews.
Glad we did. Friendly staff and a good atmosphere, the Spurs game was on but I didn't feel that this took over as it can in some places. Most of the patrons seemed to be just chatting and laughing away. Great relaxed atmosphere. Definitely plan to go back again to watch a 6 nations match before long.

The frontage of this pub looked so enticing as we passed by that we couldn't resist popping in for a look. What we found was a traditional, friendly, one roomed boozer with a few locals watching the Saturday afternoon horse racing on the big screen TV and having a laugh with the landlord.
On the beer front there were 3 real ales, (Adnams Bitter, Deuchers IPA and St Austell Tribute). We tried the St Austell (£3.00/pint) and it was excellent. Nice to see a good old-fashioned pub thriving in Fitzrovia.

Friendly staff. Busy most evenings with local media types and residents. Ideal place to watch rugby - Landlord a big supporter. Tribute and Guinness both good. Sandwiches tasty and reasonable.
|
A very quiet bar (visited at lunchtime) tucked away in the back streets next to the now empty Middlesex Hospital. Adnams was very nice but pricey at £2.90 and the food looked expensive however if you like your malt whisky then this is a place to visit. It is a sporty pub and the cricket was on a large tv.
|
Yep, the lock on the outside of the gents cubicle amused me for at least 5 minutes. Sorry to the person I locked in. Taught him for giving me grief though.
|
a former work haunt, always good for a beer, friendly local feel if you want to avoid the media lot. gets my thumbs up
|
A real old local style pub. Not one to impresive a new lady friend with, but if you fancy a couple of ok pints in a normal boozer then you can't go too wrong.
|
cant leave any comments other than the opening times of this place are at odds with the info in the 2007 GBG - ie no sign of life before 12 so i didnt hang around
|
A great find, an excellent pub. Good atmosphere, and the landlord turned off the TV to let the jukebox be played, always a sign of a class boozer

|
KING AND QUEEN,CRACKING GOOD PUB.COLIN AND MEL RUN ONE OF THE BEST PUBS IN ENGLAND.THE FOOD IS FANTASTIC.
|
plenty of nurses but out of uniform unfortunately
|
I used to love this place, but it's gone rapidly downhill in the last year or so.
I recently got a virtually opaque pint of St Austell Tribute, and when I took it back was told "that's what it's meant to be like".
Wasn't like that the last time I had it!
Please try harder.
|
Nice traditional street corner local, well worth popping in if passing through. Preferable to The Crown and Sceptre just down the road
|
Another quality venue in the middle earth between Oxford Street and Euston Road. Adnams went down well, but had to at £2.80 a pint, lager a silly £3 a pint. Picturesque location, friendly conversations, pokey toilets.
|
THIS IS PROBABALY THE BEST PUB I HAVE BEEN IN IN LONDON, IT IS VERY FRIENDLY AND HAS A WARM ATMOSPHERE ESPECIALLY WHEN C.B FROM RADA IS THERE (CHEERS CB, ITS ADAM)
|
often busy with local media types. It looks like a pub, the beer's good, the staff are efficent and there's great music upstairs.
|
A real find. lovely warm atmosphere, quiet music, fire and plenty of murmuring chat. Sat at the bar and, for the duraton of the two pints of adnams, there was nowhere else I would rather have been.
|
This pub has always been hit and miss, but they did use to love the lock inn (sic)!
|
Tatty single room pub serving Adnams, Bombardier and St Austell's Tribute. I had the Tribute at £2.80 a pint. The beer was tired and just slightly unpleasant - same as the pub.
|
used to go here about a year ago, and the service was really quite bad at lunchtimes and in the afternoon - the food was alright and the ale is pretty good - but you almost get groweled at by the barmaid when you ask for a pint. i recomend the yorkshire grey just down the road - much nicer if you ask me.
|
Fantastic place. Great service. Lunchtime food excellent. Cosy, friendly atmosphere

Brilliant old school boozer. Food at lunch times is good, beer pretty good (if sometimes a little on the cool side (damn you CasK Marque!) and they have a MASSIVE selection of blended, malt and sour mash whisky

Adnams. Beer quality varies.
|
I am doing some research. Does the pub include 3 Foley st. If not what is at 3 Foley st. Did a well known artist ever live there? What about a jewish family? I have an old painting with some inscription on the back and I am trying to get some info.

The bolt to lock the shitter is on the outside of the door. How odd.
