I've always liked the cove, it's a nice little hideaway that feels like a local in the middle of a tourist hot spot, with nice ale, comfy seating and a lovely balcony to watch the street performers, but why has the music recently become so bloody awful?!

This is a brilliant little hideaway. I've not been for a few months now, but I'd say £3.50 is an ok price to pay for a very touristy part of Central London.

The beer and service has always been top notch.

Some people here obviously just like to moan. It's small, it's in Central London, but it's an oasis.

I recently returned to The Cove for the first time for quite a while, and was gobsmacked to find that I was being charged £3.60 for a *lager shandy*. It wasn`t even a pint of 100% beer. The prices have risen dramatically across the board, including, it seems the food. Even by West End standards, that was a tad steep.

Very disappointed.

Despite various revies to the contrary, I visited the cove again yesteday lunchtime, and Enjoyed Skinners Betty Stogs, my favourite beer, which was kept in top condition. However, prices seem to have risen from the resonably modest £2.90 a pint to £3.50 in little over a year. Well worth a visit however, for the range of Skinners and St Austell brews available. Maybe a Sharps beer would improve it still further?

I went to this pub a couple of days back with a mate I meet up with a few times a year. We got there about 5:30 so the tourist cliental was off its peak and the post-work cliental was on its way. Managed to get a seat on the balcony and it is a nice place to sup a pint and look down on the hustle and bustle of the world. Pint of Tribute was excellent, but you don’t often find a pub with St Austell Brewery fare on sale very often, so we thought we would try the “Proper Job”. It looked and tasted exactly the same as the “Tribute”. I then thought I try the “Clouded Yellow” (a wheat beer) and when that came up looking and tasting the same as Tribute I complained. It turned out that they only had Tribute and all three taps were the same. They still charged the wheat beer price until I complained. Nice through the Tribute was I was really pissed off that they just didn’t say up front that they only had the one beer.
