| We were throughly well looked after on our visit to this wonderful pub on Monday. Had a quiet excellent breakfast (bubble and squeak to die for). Sat outside enjoyed a fag, had Doom Bar a real ale from Rock in Cornwall, though it was hard to choose as Nicholson's houses are free and apart from their regular range, each pub offers guest beers. The landlord has achieved his Cask Master and wears his badge with pride. I enjoyed the sales and got bargains whilst my husband sat and supped. You can also sup an ale before buying. After some joint retail therapy, we had aa visit to the next nearest Nicholson's establishment The Black Horse, Rathbone Place, W1. Again we enjoyed our visit. As the Argyll Arms is next to Oxford Circus tube we found ourselves back there. The atmosphere buzzed, shoppers, tourists, locals, business people and weary travellers mixed and new friends were made.The attention to detail, and friendliness of the staff was refreshing to experience, in these post recession days. In future, trips to the West End will begin at The Argyll Arms and probably end there with us missing our train home to Sussex, again. Thank you to the management and staff for turning a one night stay in the Capital into a mini holiday. Helenroy helenroy - 28 Jul 2010 11:10 |
| Visited on a Sunday afternoon / early evening prior to a concert at the near by Palladium. The building itself is very impressive heavy Victorian design, sadly many of these pubs no longer exist. Because of it's location right on Oxford & Regent Streets plus it's proximity to the Palladium means it can get very busy. Good range of beers on offer, I think I counted 6. Asked for a pint of Doom Bar, the youngish barman pulled the pint took one look at it before pronouncing it was off and turned the pub clip round without any prompting from me at all. Very good work, I have lost count of the times I have had to argue the point in other pubs, to see this attitude from a young barman is very refreshing. Plumped for the 7.4% Old Rosie Scrumpy instead (bit of a change I know) which was very nice. Had food in the downstairs pub rather than the dining room upstairs. Quality was OK, nothing exceptional. Probably wouldn't spend all night in here but will happily visit whenever I am in the area for a couple. I can only assume Paris Hilton picked an off day with the toilets, there seemed nothing wrong with them at all. kevmac - 17 May 2010 19:39 |
| Nice place, much larger than I thought it would be - similar to Princess Louise in Holborn with all the different partitions............lovely old interiour with original etched windows/mirrors. Staff not so interested but worth a visit. adamwalsh - 4 May 2010 07:56 |
| It smells like the toilets could do with agood clean. Popped in yesterday for a quick one and walked out again - it stank Paris_Hilton - 27 Feb 2010 16:36 |
| Stylish interior, and a good meeting place for a quick one when in the West End. Have had some unfortunate experiences here over the years, like ales being off, pints not topped up, bartenders unable/unwilling to understand English, even shortchanged on an occasion. Still decent for an early afternoon drink, but best avoided in evenings when it's usually crowded and too noisy. Billy4 - 31 Jan 2010 01:36 |
