| Tourist trap............ Awful overpriced beer & food, come on your in london there much better around the corner if you look....... JimmyJacksonJones - 31 Oct 2009 15:18 |
| Far and away the worst pub in Soho and probably beyond for a good bit. Went in with a mate to try it out. Service poor and unfriendly. Two Guinness' badly poured - the head was about a third of the pint. Looked around to find all the tourists who were in drinking Guinness exactly the same - maybe it's accepatable in Spain. Took these back to the bar to be met with a sigh and roll of the eyes by the barmaid on asking she top them up. Finished and left for a decent boozer of which there are many nearby. Don't waste your time in this lame excuse for a pub - it's crap. Baader - 10 Sep 2009 12:21 |
| I've been to this pub 4 times now and i really like it. The first time i went with my family. There were 7 of us and we enjoyed a lovely meal. We didn't have to wait too long for our food and it was delicious, especially the fish and chips- good crispy batter! I have since been back with my friends. There is a great atmosphere and the staff are friendly and efficient. It's well worth a visit! Gemma_S - 21 Aug 2009 12:31 |
| Along with the Punch and Judy in Covent Garden this must be about the biggest tourist trap of a pub in the West End. Make no mistakes Carnaby St lost any edginess it might have had in the 70s and 80s a long time ago. Punk clothing stores have been replaced by Starbucks and Boots and there's no real reason for London residents to come here. Having said this the Shakespeare's head is not quite as bad as you might expect although it's another pub with a slightly too small bar jammed in one corner. I certainly wouldn't dream of coming here for a night out but for a quick pint it was ok although the international gang of gawpers making up most of the customers were not the best. murgatroyd - 21 Jun 2009 21:30 |
| This place is OK for a quick pint after a leg stretch around the shops, but I certainly wouldn’t stay for any length of time. Bombardier, Greene King IPA, Pride, Leffe, Staropramen and an assortment of standard lagers were all available during my visit. The service was woeful even though there were more staff than customers. Maybe it was just my bad luck that I walked in after some twirlies that all ordered tea and coffee. There is a plasma screen, but I didn’t spot any advertisements for sport that would be shown. The background music is fairly unobtrusive unlike the stench and pools of piss in the toilet. If this pub was down a back street they would have to get their act together, but they can do whatever they like and still make a profit due to the fantastic location. Strongers - 16 Dec 2008 10:48 |
