The pub itself seems nice with a decent pint and average prices. My only problem with the place is the staff ( barman ) who was nothing but rude to my mate when he went up and asked for our drinks. I saw there was a problem at the bar so i went up to see what the problem was. I asked my mate and as soon as i did the barman started being rude to me aswel. I exchanged unpleasantries with him and walked out. If anyone reads this and then gets the same treatment off this idiot then please hit him in the face. I wanted to do this but it's not really my style although im sure i would have took great pleasure in doing so. Why do people do bar work when they clearly don't know how to or want to do it.......... Idiot

Nice classic corner pub type building that is fortunately still kept in decent repair inside. Dark wood floors and tables along with a burgundy painted ceiling and not-too-strong lighting make for a very pleasant environment not a million miles away from a classic European "Brown" Pub. A fair selection of real ales (although two were off during my visit) and a choice of draught lagers and all the usual wine and sprits options are all present and correct and prices are standard for the area. Service was a little too easily distracted, but pretty friendly nonetheless and neither myself or my companion had to wait long at any point although the pub had a fair number of people in and there were only two people working. Drinks were of good quality and background music was pretty tasteful and not too loud.
Food was very good, we both had the Sunday Roast (Beef) and quality wise there were absolutely no complaints, however at £7.95, the one (admittedly reasonably big) slice of beef seemed a little on the stingey side.
Worth a visit, but I suspect more a daytime or straight after work, relaxed type of a drink is what you'd want here and it's not a detination pub.

High prices, quiz machine on the blink, barman with issues in the sense of humour department.

Think I'll give it a miss in future

Deceptively large pub because of the back area it was crowded when I was in and the competition for seats was fierce. The only reason I could think of for the numbers was the proximity to the Uni but the prices belied any serious attempt to attract students.

Let's face it Tottenham Court Rd is not anyone's destination of choice but the Rising Sun was slightly above the average for this area and so it is possible I might one day end up in here again.

Real ale and good food - though the portion of chips was meagre!
