| A Sam Smiths pub which I guess will dictate whether many people like it or not. The wood panelling is quite distinguished and lends the pub a bit of an aura of a gentlemans club (old style rather than one invloving girls called Tracy or Yelena gyrating nakedly in your face for a tenner). It's quite a deep place with two room separated by a staircase cutting across the bar. Since the back room has no windows and is blocked from the street by said staircase it has a rather gloomy funereal atmosphere even on a sunny spring afternoon. The lack of customers when I was there didn't help either although the pub does get a bonus point for having a dart board. Another one, like many in the area, that is ok for a pint but not really good for an entire evening. murgatroyd - 21 Jun 2009 22:01 |
| I have something to say about this place. Shifts and Intrigues abound, and I would venture to state that should Lucifier himself enter the Saloon, he would soon find his tail pulled. I happened upon the Red Lion on the night of Michealmas last, weary from long and fruitless perigrinations in the name of a worthless Whigs canvass. I had been told of the place by a D Waspnest of Snares Brook, who alluded to the fact that both 'Bonce' and 'Scrifton' were in stock. Enquiring of the proprietor, he gave no satisfaction on the matter but this was a mere trifle for what followed. Turning away with a bottle of miserable substitute, I noticed Gladstone, Angora rabbit and companion was not to be seen. I frantically searched, appealed to the scant custom and the proprietor, but all knowledge was denied. I gave up the rabbit for dead, camped by the fire and took mournful swigs from my little glinker of discontent,but did not fail to notice the furtive glances and doubtful mutterings between the others and the Proprietor could not entirely keep his dark plots covered by extreme effort of a passive countenance. Be on your guard, traveller senberbex - 4 Jun 2009 14:39 |
| The only real pub left in soho, staff are maazing, waiting time non existent, friendliest pub by far, plus thy manage to keep out out all of those types we want to protest/murder arewenot - 3 Apr 2009 04:04 |
| Nice interior, service prompt and the OBB was OK today but no running hot or cold water in the gents', no signs up indicating transient problems so this seemed a bit odd. _grobag_ - 27 Mar 2009 21:51 |
| Frankly one of the few pubs with interior character left in this corner of town - I was in over xmas - front bar; gloomy - cold fire flickering away, dirty leaded windows, a few souls drinking. Whiskey completed the scene for me. Loved it. a world away from the tourist / shopping maelstrom outside but only a few feet from it. Plenty of tidied up pubs nearby for the main trade. gonetolunch - 28 Dec 2008 12:14 |
