Passed a very pleasant evening here last night with some old friends.

Its a quiet old fashioned pub serving a good pint of OBB at a very reasonable price (£1.88).

I didn't eat here this time but in the past the food has been excellent value.

We were impressed with the bar maid who was cheerful all night and even took the time come around the tables to announce last orders

I like the Lyceum. It’s a traditional pub in an area often tarnished by overpriced, un-atmospheric establishments banking on revolving tourist patronage.

Fantastic value beer and comfortable seating areas…… It’s ideal for groups of friends having a bit of a catch up, much like the drinking group I was with (FTB2).

The food was OK, what you would expect given the price (less than 6 quid for a main)…..a pretty accurate picture menu.

No music……I’m not sure if that’s a bad thing or not….depends on what they would play I guess. Can’t stand pubs with play lists dominated by UB40, Mamma Mia, Tom Jones and Bennett and McMenamin.

In summary, great pub to enjoy cheap beer in a comfortable and central location, bad pub if your looking to pick up a life partner and or a place to dance……maybe that’s why Chris Kilkelly did not show up.

7/10

Crap pint , served by some very good looking East European lady- whose interest appeared to be swayed by the fact that she had just been told that she was going to be the first non monkey in space to be blasted off without breathing apparatus....Oh!..Did I mention that the beer was crap?.....

Reasonable Sam Smiths pub, which thankfully has OBB on handpump. Usually worth heading up the stairs in busy periods.

Very nice pub, plain & simple, an almost miraculous survival from the good old days given this location. £1.80 a pint for decent hand-drawn real bitter - in WC2 in 2008? Never mind almost, a genuine miracle. Rejoice and praise the Lord, Sam Smith.
