Sam Smith's pub in London. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Well kept Old Brewery and a good quiz machine, who needs anything more.

This is a fairly good Sam Smith’s pub just a stone’s throw from Oxford Street. It retains some original Edwardian features, and has benefited from a tasteful refurbishment that is typical of the Sam Smith’s chain. Obviously you’ll only get the usual Sam Smith’s range of beers, but they are of course excellent value for money. I was surprised that a pub in this area would be relatively empty (as it was) on the weekday lunchtime that I was in here. They do food at reasonable prices, but only in the upstairs bar. I was the only person up there and I have to say that I would have preferred to eat in the main bar where there were at least a few other punters. All in all a decent enough pub, and although you would not want to go there for the beer alone (unless of course you are a Sam Smith’s fan) it is a welcome respite from the hell of Oxford Street. There are many much worse pubs in the area.

Inside, no real surprises for a Sam Smiths pub in London (i.e. dark wooden decor and the like it or loathe it beer at low, low prices) apart, perhaps, from the unusual lack of stink from the gents toilets! Outside, there are the rather remarkable lanterns overhanging the on-street smoking zone. Overall, not too bad at all.

A pub for people who work in the area so expect a mix of meedja (sic) and fashion types as well as some more salt-of-the-earth types. Musky, dark interior which seems incongruous and sad in the post-smoking era but I wouldn't change it, such character must be preserved.

Well-priced Sam Smiths considering its location in the heart of the consumers' London. Easy to see why crowds flock here from midday toward the end of the week and why many stay long into the evening on a Friday.
