| Visited today and found this to be a reasonable pub next door to Covent Garden Tube Station. The chap behind the bar was friendly, whilst the beer range had three standard ales as well as a nice pint of Everards Sly Fox. true, it's nothing special, but on the other hand, it does nothing wrong - Good location, Good beer.

| Better than the touristy places round Covent Garden, this is a pleasant small pub with good beers and wines on. We had a bottle of wine and drank it outside among the rickshaws and tourists clattering along the cobbled streets. For all it is probably the nearest pub to the station it was not too crowded at seven thirty on a Saturday evening. rainlight - 8 Oct 2008 16:02 |
| Average city pub - seems to be either empty or heaving regardless of time of day. Beer kept well and staff friendly enough but, overall, the pub is nothing special. BobOs - 23 Aug 2008 10:12 |
| Slap bang in the middle of tourist central. Covent Garden is just too busy and crowded for my taste and this is a fairly unremarkable pub. However, it does have a nice little brass ledge outside on which to put your beer if it is nice enough to stand outside, and it did have a decent pint of Thwaite’s Wainwright on when I was there the other day. Not worth trying to find (though it would be hard to miss it) but OK for a quick one if you happen to be in the area and don’t know anywhere better. RexRattus - 22 Jul 2008 20:27 |
| Small, but surprisingly under-crowded, pub close to the heart of Covent Garden. Otherwise a fairly standard-issue Nicholson's house, but the Elgoods Cambridge bitter was on good form. rpadam - 13 Mar 2008 21:17 |
