Total agreement with other posters. Must be the best value in the West End.

Worth visiting just to view the stained glass windows - very clean pub. Definitely be going back.

Cannot disagree with any of the previous postings below, brilliant pub , shame about the beer.
Fantastic stained glass windows, wonderful dark wood interior , superb period lighting and a really good lively and jovial saturday night crowd.
And like Chris below, I just sat there taking it all in.
But unfortunately Keg OBB just doesn't cut it

Despite a lack of real OBB, this is my favourite Samuel Smiths pub purely on the strength of its stunning interior. There is nothing worse than a pub that is too brightly lit, and clearly the management have taken this to heart for the balance is just right, perfectly complementing the dark wood furnishings and those marvellous stained glass windows. Whilst my mates duelled on the excellent dart board, I simply sat back and took in my wonderful surroundings. Superb.

This is a Sam Smith’s pub, and another one in this area that doesn’t do OBB on handpump. The keg version is not really worth drinking (in my opinion).

The windows are quite remarkable – in fact they may be unique in design, commemorating, as they do, various, mainly unsung, British heroes. But, as good as they are, I don’t think they are very old. The Captain Matthew Webb window is signed “Ann Sotheran – York – 1989”. Old or not, they are impressive. In fact this is a good pub, but if they only did a decent ale it could be a superb one.
