Really like this pub. It's reasonably priced, good beer and quite friendly. Downstairs can get a bit too smokey, but not for long hey!

The staff are friendly and always serve you quickly.

If you're lucky and can get one of the 2 outside tables, it's a great place to watch the world go by.

Highly recommended

a cruisey gay/lesbian bar , 2 seconds from trafalger square and 2 secs from charing cross station , being straight and totally at ease with myself i do venture here whenever im in the area the reasons are
1) its cheap for the area
2) staff are friendly and helpful
3) can normally get served quick
two bars , dont venture downstairs unless your prepared to be stared at
one of the better pubs in the area , can get busy around 5pm but not as busy as the pubs between embankment station n charing cross

Can't recommend this bar enough. Good music, good muzic. Always have a good time. Only downside is the gents, bit cruisy. Always liek to see Charlie working, makes for a better night.

It is a nice pub, drinks are ok and the surroundings are good. The staff in general are nice. There's a very cute young barman with a shaved head - shy but friendly. There's a mid-20s blond hair lad that works in the week that's a real flirt too. The customers are middle aged and if you must use the toilets nip in to the ladies or risk walking through the crowd of men on their own waiting for a fumble in the gents with a fresh piece of meat. I've had a couple start making a move while i'm trying to take a leek!

This pub is superb, good traditional bar, no loud music - so you can actually have a conversation, friendly barstaff and a good mix of customers, always someone to say hello to. I've been there during the day and in the evening and always had a good night. Highly rate this pub!

Went here last night for the first time in four months. The crowd is broadly middle aged, the beer is ok, but the staff have all changed. Nothing spectacular. Still, nice for a couple of pints on the way home.

A word of warning though... the toilets downstairs are VERY cruisy during the day, and there's usually a lot of men sat around by themselves waiting for a quick fumble.

Nice friendly bar in the heart of London. Beer well kept,staff more than pleasent,music not over loud. A little small maybe,but well worth a visit.

You can meet just about everyone in this pub. Gay, straight, refugees from St. Martin's in the Fields or the National Gallery. It is small and friendly. But beware - you can also meet "footpads" and rogues, who will be as friendly as pie and then make off with your bag when you're not looking. Charing Cross Station is a mere hop-skip and a jump away (with your belongings) to freedom.

good atmosphere; very small for the
crowd it brings in; traveling from the US it is always a stop for myself and my friends; last visit was Nov 2003....one of the last minutes i spent with my best friend was in halfway 2 heaven before he passed away 3 weeks later

Not bad for pulling the lads during the week but when the weekend comes avoid this place, it's just too packed...

Not the best place for picking up chicks. Unless you're a chick...
