| Super little Sheps pub, once a local of mine, always good fun spotting the luvvies in between performances and some cracking beer. A real oasis in the West End wellinformed - 20 Apr 2008 18:51 |
| Wasn't this pub bombed by the IRA sometime in the early 90's ? chopin - 3 Mar 2008 17:52 |
| Went in on a Saturday lunchtime for a pre-theatre lunch. Staff were resonably friendly and the beer was very good, although a little pricey - but then what do you expect for this neighbourhood. My sandwich was fine and others said their jacket potatoes were good. Nice pub considering its in a rather tacky neck of the woods. blueronnie - 3 Mar 2008 17:23 |
| Originally known as Cribbs Parlour, the pub name honours an early 19th Century bare knuckle boxer (a.k.a. the Black Diamond) who later became a publican in the area. The current building dates from the early 1900’s and for the literarature fans, featured in novels by William Makepiece Thackery (Vanity Fair) and Arthur Conan Doyle (Rodney Stone). A select range of Shepheard Neame beers (Masterbrew + Spitfire as standards supplemented by one other from the range – Porter on my recent visit) at reasonable prices bearing in mind you are yards from Leicester Square. The exterior has some nice old tiling whilst the interior is a bit of an odd mix with polished wooden floor, padded seats, fairly dated wallpaper but modern doors and windows. The angled beam across the bright red painted ceiling suggests that there were once a few odd shaped rooms within the building. There are some interesting old London photos as well as a varied selection of boxing portraits. It tends to have more of a locals feel than being touristy and is a pleasant enough pub for a few beers if you can grab a seat but overall not a place that lingers as being particularly memorable.
