| This place is the king of tourist traps, but then that is to be expected with the Sherlock Holmes theme. It’s a nice looking pub, but I’m not sure about the dog’s head on the wall, be it real or not! I didn’t check out the upstairs restaurant or the diary room, but the toilet was a stench fest. The barman was very friendly, but my pint of Sherlock Holmes was decidedly iffy. Greene King IPA, Old Speckled Hen and a few bog standard lagers were also available among others. Maybe if this pub was on Baker Street I would rate it more highly, but it doesn’t scrub up well to its peers in this area. Strongers - 26 Jun 2008 07:10 |
| Go in, see the reconstruction of 221B Baker Street - then go elsewhere for a drink. Dan137 - 5 Jun 2008 23:32 |
| Tourist trap pub serving GK ales (and the Sherlock Holmes Ale is just re-badged Morland, don't be fooled into paying more folks). I guess it has some novelty value for a quick pint and a gawp at the Conan Doyle nik-naks, but as many others have said elsewhere, your beer money is better spent at the Ship & Shovell a short walk away, which is also a hell of a let better in terms of being a proper piece of old London memorabilia.

| Very convenient for dropping in on the way over the Millenium bridge to Waterloo. lovely pint of Abbott was enjoyed on friday 18th April. We were about to get another when we were told quite firmly that we were not allowed to sit at the bar on the bar stools. Since there was no table free and there was no crowd around the bar we considered these comments, which were delivered in a tone worthy of a teacher to a naughty adolescent, quite out of order. How about some training on customer relatios. We left straight away. lesleyrob - 20 Apr 2008 11:23 |
| I like this place - if you sit outside tourists will take pictures of you (well not you, the pub, but still). Resonably priced for the area. Nice place to have a pint after work if you don't want to be somwhere with loud music and young people. lennie384 - 2 Apr 2008 14:16 |
