| A really enjoyable place to relax and enjoy a beer. Good staff, drinks and general ambience. Music playing in the background. A top old school boozer. I'd definitely return here. willesden_seadog - 3 Jul 2011 15:02 |
| Finding a decent pint in an old school boozer is no mean feat in Soho, but the Star and Garter caters for this perfectly. A fantastic little pub. cheesyal - 31 Aug 2010 22:23 |
| Pleasant, small, but reasonably characterful Soho pub that still retains something of a slightly old fashioned community feel to it. It's a wood pannelled pub decorated with old photos, plates, jugs etc. Seating consists of comfortable banquettes and chairs. I seem to recollect that the pub was carpeted on my previous visit several years ago, but, disappointingly, it's now got the ubiquitous trademark pine flooring that one associates with pub chains and which, I feel bound to say, does feel at odds with what is otherwise a cosy and comfortable pub. Externally, it still retains evidence of its earlier days as a Courage pub, but the most striking external feature is the bright green painted exterior. The beer range on my recent visit was unexciting - normal for Soho pubs so it seems - consisting of GK IPA, Pride and Spitfire. The London Pride - £ 3.20p - was on reasonable form, but was slightly too cold. As a pub, I quite like this one and I'd recommend including it in any Soho crawl, but I do hope they've brought the carpet back by the next time I drop in. JohnBonser - 22 Dec 2009 12:29 |
| A perfectly charming Soho pub that isn't in any way exceptional. However, we should be thankful for any pub in this district that has retained any sort of residual genuine character, and at least offers something in the way of passable beer. And it is a rather fine building too if you take a look. Albeit a function of being tied to the usual pubco fare I expect, the ales on last weekend were undeniably an unchallenging and ubiquitous choice; namely Shep Neame Spitfire, Fullers London Pride, and GK IPA. Boring. But reliable enough, as the Spit was in good shape. As for environment, the S & G is a very pleasant little place that seems to attract a mature crowd of various ages; certainly reserved by Soho standards but that will be a plus for many. It will do just as well for a meet with mates as it would with a partner, and I think it benefitd from being set in a lively street with plenty of hustle and bustle, as one can feel close to the beating heart of the area on the doorstep, whilst still enjoying a quiet drink within. Not bad. TWG - 28 Sep 2009 16:51 |
| A soho pub that still has character, one of ones I'll use when in the area. Nice little bar - bit busy sometimes. Mix of regulars and passers by - usualy older drinkers, not kids. Good staff and beer. Always seems welcoming to step in to. gonetolunch - 5 Apr 2009 14:15 |
