| Always seem to end up in here when in the Oxford Street area, a decent option to escape the crowds of Oxford Street (especially in the run up to Christmas). London Pride, Doombar and 2 or 3 others on tap. I went for a few glasses of the mulled wine, or mulled cider as the barman advised, which was decent. Nice downstairs area although limited for space Have not tried the food here yet. bryanroy22 - 30 Nov 2011 12:04 |
| A veritable haven from the dreadful experience of Oxford Street, just off the nice area of Marylebone High Street. I would have given this pub a score of 7, if their price list was readable. Posted on a post/wall by the bar, it was completely unreadable. No bar on the Continent would practice such a scam - tiny 6-point print in a low level lighting. Their prices have to be visibly up-front. I want to know exactly how much a particular pint of beer is before I go to the bar!!! Otherwise a quite acceptable environment, short of spaces on the ground floor. £3.65p for pint of London Pride. mycetes - 28 Oct 2011 13:08 |
| Pretty much what you'd expect from the Nicholsons chain. Characterful pub, pleasant upstairs seating area, a good food menu and prompt service. Hake and chips were good and the beers (Titanic and Moor) were ok too. Mothroy - 30 Jul 2011 22:30 |
| decent pub with nice basement seating area.. plenty of nice beers on tap and a reasonable, if unimaginative menu.. can get packed on thursdays/fridays, but that goes for every pub in this area Gary83 - 6 Apr 2011 23:29 |
| A pleasant enough and good sized corner pub from the Nicholson’s stable. There’s limited seating in the downstairs bar although plenty of space for vertical drinking. There was a spiral staircase leading to an upstairs bar and restaurant area, although we didn’t check this out. There were also three or four small tables in the pedestrianised street outside. Being a corner pub there were large, dual aspect windows and this gave a reasonably light and airy feel to the place. The wood panelled bar had an impressive carved wooden backdrop and a good range of pumps, all sporting a notice outlining a brief description of the beer and an invitation to try before you buy. There was a decent looking “pub grub” menu at what appeared to be quite reasonable prices, although we didn’t eat on this occasion. Staff all seemed friendly and helpful. A blackboard listed around 25 beers, with the current offerings being ticked. Presumably these are rotated around regularly, although there may well be other guests as well, as not all the ones currently on appeared to be on here. On this occasion they were Adnams Lighthouse and Broadside, Doombar, London Pride, Leeds Best and York Brewery’s First Light. Ciders were Aspall’s Suffolk and Strongbow. There were also about seven lagers to choose from, if that’s your thing. Blackthorn - 28 Mar 2011 10:25 |
