Visited this pub yesterday and won't rush back. Three handpumps but only one beer on - Bombadier was lifeless and barely drinkable. There are better pubs in the area

I say long may this survive...there are scarcely any pubs in the immediate vicinity and the Rose and Crown fills a gap pretty adequately. With Spitfire, Pride and Greene King IPA on tap (Sept 28 2009)..it is a decent selection if not the most imaginative.

Went there last Sunday before the SuperBowl XLIII showing at the Hard Rock Cafe. Surprisingly packed for those that were not attending the padded girls chasing pig-skin (sorry to all those offended). That said, whether an international crowd is one that you are looking for is open to each person's preference, but being in the nexus of Piccadilly, Park Lane, Hyde Park Corner & HR Cafe, means that this is somewhat inenvitable.

The staff were pleasant enough and - indeed - the American gentleman that runs it is quite comical, if it is not evident that he does anything of use (might have been his night off). The rest of the staff are enthusiastic enough it a little sloppy, overun and clearing up seems to be something forgotten about at times.

Unlike other pubs that I have reviewed, this place is souless. It does not have the charm and character of others (e.g. Churhchill Arms, even if I didn't like it or the Red Lion off Jermyn Street), which for me means that it could be any other pub in any area of London. That said, it is easy to miss and if small in size , which makes it a little better than others. There's just nothing extraordinary about it!

Beers-wise it is not too bad, but far too generic. Go to if you're in the area and can't be bothered to walk anywhere else

my experience of this pub is positive - a surprisingly good pub considering it's location, where most of the pubs tend to be soulless, I thought the service was very friendly and helpful, they had good beer on draft and a quiz machine.

All in all , a nice surprise.

The staff are so rude in this dingy looking pub. My wife and her two friends ordered and paid for there food, seated themselves up stairs, i arrived 5 mins later as i was looking around in the Hard rock shop, i was standing there for ages the chinesse young bar man kept ignoring me as i was trying to place an order, so i gave up and joined my friends. As the waitress (black girl bradded hair) arrived with the my friends order, I took the opportunity to order (the leasted complicated item on the menu) a bowel of chips she insisted that i give her the £1.99 for the chips first so i gave her £2, my friends did not recieve there drinks along with there food, the chinese guy comes up and starts arguing with my wife saying that she did not order drinks!! (Very un-professional) so we decided to forget about drinks and just eat the food. my friends had finished there food and i still didnt recieve the bowel of chips i ordered!. So when we were leaving as a matter of principle we asked for our £2 back! i asked for the black girl and i was told that she wasnt available! the chinese guy then started to tell me that i did'nt order chips! Then the bar manager (a small mexican lookin guy) looked in the small elevator from the kitchen and produced the "missing" bowel of chips! and handed them over the counter of the bar (what the F**k) but were going home now we said! we asked for our money back as originally requested. He proceeded to take his time and then slapped £1.99 into my wifes hand!

That experience has to be the most rudest we have ever had. We "Crown" this pub the Worst for service and thank god we didnt drink in it.
Future explorers and punters Stay in the Hard Rock Cafe.
