| There’s not much I can add to the accurate review that follows this one except that I found the bar staff to be very friendly, especially for a high street pub. The music was also very loud during my visit, but I put this down to it being the last Friday before Christmas and I have to admit that the seasonal songs did give the pub a very warm atmosphere. There were too many tourists eating for my liking, but the pub itself is very nice and I would pop in again for a couple of pints if passing. Strongers - 13 Jan 2010 13:13 |
| Attractive looking, street corner pub on the Brompton Road situated close to Harrods and several popular well-known London museums. Many Victorian features remain, including a number of painted mirrors, some original snob screens on the bar and an interesting carved partition with the bunch of grapes logo prominent. There's much woodwork and etched glass. The front part of the bar looks as though it was probably originally partitioned into different bars. The pub was built in 1777 and is listed in CAMRA's Regional Inventory for London. Whilst retaining a traditional feel, there's a clear emphasis on providing meals to the many tourists who drop in and the seating layout largely reflects this. This creates a rather transient feel to the pub as people pop in and out, not starting after their meal / drink. Unfortunately the background music was rather loud on my recent Sunday lunchtime visit. There's also a largish flat screen TV, which thankfully wasn't on. The pub has recently been acquired by Greene King. Four real ales were on - IPA, Abbott, Speckled Hen and Royal London ( though they were an insurance company?). The IPA - £ 3.05p - was as good a pint of that beer as you will get. The pub proudly displays Cask Marque accreditation. You might want to call in if passing by - I will when I'm next round this way JohnBonser - 17 Nov 2009 12:52 |
| Very nice unspoilt Victorian interior and better than expected selection of ales. Not at all touristy which was a pleasant surprise given the proximity to H.A. Rodds. One to keep in mind if in the area again. realalesnob - 7 Oct 2009 16:34 |
| A great pub!Bring back memories from 1972-73 when I was student in London.Always stop by for a pint of bitter, once my flat was at 40 Egerton Gardens just steps away from the pub!I hope to go again some time! PANOS - 29 Apr 2009 22:30 |
| This is quite a reasonable pub considering its proximity to the hustle and bustle of Harrod’s Store. But the Spirit Group pubco ambience is quite strong in here. They had Adnam’s bitter, GKIPA, Abbot Ale and Bombardier on. The Adnam’s was not particularly good, and at £3.10 a pint. On the plus side, it still has a lot of original Victorian features intact. It’s not a bad pub, but suffers somewhat from the pubco’s rather unimaginative ale selection. Nonetheless, I would be happy to drop in again for another pint if I was in the area.
