Reviews of Lyceum Tavern

S. D.

I thought Sam Smiths pubs were meant to be cheap, but £5.20 for a Taddy lager is nothing special. There was a big pile of glasses on our table from the previous people but they were never cleared away and the barman was pretty miserable. The interior is nice and traditional with pleasant small booths.

D. S.

Sam Smith’s pubs are Marmite; you either love them or hate them. The ban on electronic devices to encourage conversation doesn’t work well if you’re on your own and want to check your messages etc., but at least the staff at this establishment are a little more understanding if you’re discreet. Some of the reviews here are mistakenly for the Lyceum Theatre, which sways the star ratings. Not a huge fan of the beer either so sadly three stars from me.

P. S.

Went to see The Lion King. Good performance but honestly not my cup of tea. Seats not very comfortable but had more legroom than I was expecting. Still very poorly organised with checks. Asked to be there 90mins before hand, but why, not was done until 60 minutes before hand. Checked COVID passes, but they could be anyone's not really checked, then held in the bar area shoulder to shoulder for another 30 minutes before going in, and the theatre got very hot in the 2nd half. But the staff was friendly.

T. H.

Popped in by chance for food. Very helpful friendly staff. Fabulous atmosphere. Beautiful inside. Food was absolutely fantastic. Beer really nice. Would recommend and will return.

H.

Lovely boozer. great interior decor, quite cheap, cosy upstairs. food is basic pub grub but worth buying to get a table upstairs on busy evenings. Lots of found memories during uni days spent here. start your night here and the world is your oyster!

K. S.

Had the loveliest evening at this pub. The bar managers are just lovely. Gorgeous simple pub with good, friendly vibes. Definitely a keeper.

E.

Went to see The Lion King, great performance, musical and customer service, the Lyceum Tavern will see me again ☺

D. C.

Good place to have a quiet drink. Though as it isn't so big inside was hard to find somewhere to sit. But would recommend to anyone

P. L. R.

This is a good, solid, traditional Samuel Smiths Brewery pub, so you can expect well-priced beer, lots of dark wood, no music, and a ban on swearing and mobile phones. There’s food too, served in the first floor dining room. If you’re not a Sam Smiths regular, you’ll never have heard of any of the beers, don’t worry though, they are all very enjoyable. Alpine and Taddy lager, Double 4 and the rest are well worth trying. I love the external woodwork, and the large barrel clock at first floor level. You just don’t see this kind of thing on modern pubs.

M. A.

The most magical experience I have never been before and I thought it was fantastic. Perfect for all age groups. Definitely recommend as a treat. The actors to the costumes to the singing was beyond amazing

S. J.

Decent boozer in central. Very cute traditional pub with little booths to hide in! Sam Smiths so decent selection of reasonably priced beers all brewed in Yorkshire.

K. G.

Absolutely beautiful old world style Sam Smith pub, amazingly good quality beer and such good prices for London. What makes it extra special is the really good service that I received from Sasha and Laura, very friendly and always ensuring that I don't need to go out of my way to order something else. Really good customer service, they make all the difference. Normally in London you have to choose between two of three things; quality, price, and customer service. Here, you get all three.

B. P.

Its ok for a nice quiet drink as a stop gap and nice because its a proper old pub but be prepared for slow service at the bar. Gets 2 or 3 deep quite quickly and feels very quiet and lacking atmosphere at the bar. Drinks are very old school. They look and feel a bit dated somehow. They seem to lack ice and seem a bit flat and foggy. Just reminded me of a 1970s kind of experience. They still had an old BT phone in the corner with a wire and the barman asked me if I had ordered a double or single vodka as he couldn't remember at one point. It was cosy and enjoyed the feel of the pub but the service and drinks need to be brought into the 21st century.

R.

Talking about the tavern, there is nothing to highlight but the environment. Normal attention and treatment, normal prices, not special beer. Maybe it would get a higher punctuation if we had tried some food... But it was not very tempting.

c. f.

I saw the lion king, it was packed for a Tuesday night but expected nothing less.

C. A.

Had a really nice lunch here today and tried out their new menu which all looked amazing. The food was excellent and the staff were all super friendly! Would definitely recommend popping in!

M. B.

Fantastic pub food outstanding!(Fish & Chips).The bar staff very helpful Manager was really professional and friendly. 5*Plus will definitely be returning on are next visit...

A. A.

Lovely, cozy pub to check out before the theatre or when hiding from the rain :) lovely booths, great vibes :) thanks bar staff for being diligent as well!

N. E.

To start the staff at the tavern are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Great choice of beverages. I had an IPA and my sister had a coconut rum with the suggestion of the bar keep, pineapple juice. We also both had the best Fish and Chips we've had in London.

T. S.

Classic English pub with an excellent selection of ales, including Samuel Smith's traditional bitter ale! This pub still has its old booths which are nice and cosy. The pub also doesn't have any televisions, so it makes for a good social time. Food is served upstairs in the dining area. Best pint I had in London.

A. M.

Great venue friendly staff but like a lot of hospitality businesses right now many more people needed behind the bar!

N. P.

Samuel Smith pub so limited range of drinks. Old fashioned pub, could do with a deep clean tbh.

R. B.

Loved the locally sourced organic lagers. Typical London fare, well worth a passing visit.

D. A.

Nice little pub in a great location. The range of drinks is a little limited but they all seem to be of a good quality. There is not much room to sit so be prepared to stand or wait for a table/seat. The staff were helpful but clearly busy so not likely to engage in much chat

p. l.

This pub is now open! Better still, the booths on the ground floor are perfect for social distancing. Always loved this pub. Great staff, excellent beers.

D. P.

Worth a visit great beer and foods good. Old historical place oozes history in every corner

C. T.

Good beer and excellent service from bar staff, especially the manager Matthew - thanks again!

C. G.

Nice pub, sat outside and had a couple of drinks before a trip to the theatre. Pricey but expected in central London.

F. G.

Went to see the Lion King. Very nice show for all ages. Definitely worth a visit

A. H.

Cracking pub and lovely staff, led by their charismatic manager Matthew ! Can't wait to be back!

M. C.

Nice place to while away time before a show. Upstairs has more room.

A. T.

I liked the old fashioned atmosphere and burgers were not bad! Stumbled on the bar by accident and were not disappointed ! It was not busy when we were there. (Round 1230) Food arrived fast, staff was polite!

M. M.

I've been here a few nights ago, as suggested by a friend. I had the "bbq cheddar and bacon cheese" burger with chips and a good blonde beer! I am no kidding while I say that it's my best burger I ate in all my entire life!! I don't know what ingredient makes this meal so special, maybe the barbeque salse, the meat or the soft bread!! I don't know the secret is but it's a so delicious secret that i will try out again next time I will go back to London! Thank you so much for making me so happy!

C. M.

Nice pub, plenty of space and not too busy. Good drinks selection at a good price.

A. S.

Lovely little bar on the Strand. Surprisingly quiet, but the organic beer was very tasty. Bar staff very attentive and friendly. I'm sure to return next visit.

k. r.

Great beer staff worked so hard through marathon place was crazy they need staff but they worked so hard give it a visit try the organic lger was an eye opener very nice and lovely people

J. F.

Samuel Smith pub with the usual selection of beers. Nice pork pies.

B. H.

Couldn't belive its the first pub in Central to serve organic beers. There is anice old gentleman so honest how the beers are done, he went through the whole process.

S. D.

Excellent pub, very well kept. 👍

M. F.

Brilliant show Fantastic atmosphere with friendly staff and a great place to visit if your in london and looking for a show

1.

A fabulous vintage pub experience. Great range of well kept beers too

H. H.

Matthew the manager went above and beyond to make our evening wonderful. Many thanks!

L. B.

Great cosy old style pub/tavern.

M. C.

This small pub is situated on the strand and is ideal for pre theatre drinks. They have a good selection of ales and spirits. Food is the typical pub grub.

A. B.

Good venue, lot of things to see nearby, good restaurants around. Theatre itself is comfortable within reason. The play was excellent.

L. G.

Great. Old traditional tavern with cosy booths and some good Yorkshire beers

I. v. B.

Very quiet,but food service had stopped by 4pm

B. H. P.

Popped in for a pint in one of my favourite London pubs. The food here is always highly recommended too.

L.

Small and cosy. Service was good and the food excellent.

F. a. F.

A great little, quiet pub in the heart of London. I popped in for a pint and was very happy with its selection. You will find a variety of ales and spirits for all your tastes. Find a little secluded spot just across from the and and relax with a cold pint of your favourite drink. *no issues with being LGBTQ here.

K. H.

Very welcoming on a cold night with three young children in tow!!

G. T.

Delightful, very good view of the stage, the scenery and costumes were skillful and engaging.

M. W.

Love it. Lovely drinks that make a nice change from the normal Fosters or Guinness. Engaged and friendly staff and a nice old school feel to the pub. Wood paneled and some leather seats and alcoves.. feel like an old school pub should 👍👍

N. L.

Bit pricey but theatre was great

R. E.

Despite rigorous adherence to the Covid rules i thought the couple in charge were lovely beyond compare. I would not recommend them and the pub highly enough.

R. B.

A great, spacious classic pub. Had nachos and sticky toffee pudding and both were first class. A good selection of beers including a few unusual ones. Prices were reasonable for central London.

j.

It's a Samuel Smith's pub so expect the standard Sam Smith's drinks. The benefit of this is one of the cheapest pints you will find in London. The food is what you would expect of pub grub, pretty cheap and pretty good. I most often order the fish and chips which is nice. There is a very small courtyard at the back (3 small tables) which makes it a great choice if you smoke. As with any Sam Smith's pub I have visited the decor is traditional English pub.

F. W.

It’s a great Pub in London, right between a whole bunch of theatres. It looks exactly like in the movies.Food was absolutely fine and really cheap for high quality. Great selection of different beers. As a Düsseldorfer I can only recommend the Nut Brown Ale.

H. A.

excellent theatre huge and brilliant team work

L. H.

Nice pub that was an escape from the rain...so good we went back the following day.

B. M.

Where to start? Sam Smith's in hyper central London? Good. Can score a spot in one of the booths? Even better. You will get a real taste of what an English boozer used to be like.

n. c.

The show is amazing, however,have people pack in that small bar area makes me uncomfortable.

R. A.

Friendly staff . Clean and a lovely little pub

A. H.

This charming traditional London pub is literally around the corner from the famous Lyceum Theatre. Food is served upstairs and we walked in on a Friday evening with no reservation before going to the Duchess Theatre (which again is literally a 2 minute walk). Seated with no wait at all. Menu was a little limited but don't forget that this is a pub rather than a restaurant. Food was excellent, cooked perfectly and arrived at our table quickly. Best of all our 2 course meal (main & dessert) for 2 including drinks came to less than £40!! All in all (and judging by reviews) a far better pre theatre option than the 'higher class' establishments in the area. I will absolutely be dropping in again when I next visit the West End even if only for a drink. Highly recommended.

N. M.

Nice and cozy cafe, Food served impeccably, delicious food and service, I recommend !!!

N. Z.

The seats are tights. There is not much leg room

R. H.

One of the better Sam Smith's in London, I always enjoy coming here. It's quite understated on the outside so it's easy to miss. The little booths along the back wall are a nice touch, large enough to seat 4. There's a whole upper floor but I've never seen the pub busy enough for it to be occupied. One of only 2 Sam Smith's pubs in London that I've found serving Dark Mild at some point in time. The other being the Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese. Wasn't on in June but then I wasn't expecting it to be.

P. H.

Did not eat here as it was full when we called, which I suppose speaks for itself, so we had a couple of pints of Samuel Smith's Old Brewery butter which was excellent. Probably the cheapest beer in the middle of London. A quaint place with some semi private booths to sit in, good atmosphere and pleasant staff.

J. W.

Brilliant staff, nice food & chat just luvly.

J. M.

We visited fairly early in the day and were seated upstairs. The history of the place being that the idea for Dracula was thought of in this tavern is quite cool. However, we sat at our seats for a while before realizing we had to order at the bar. But that was our own fault. Food was good, we got burgers. Really we only ate here for the experience. I bet it get really hopping when the shows get out.

j. s.

Joe, the bartender, served us our drinks with a smile on his face and a very warm demeanour. He had the humblness of Hermes and the charm of Zeus. Would highly reccomend to anyone who desires a beverage :)

F. S.

Great range of traditional English ales provided by Sam Smiths brewery, so expect very good value at ~£2.90 a pint. Food is good and the menu is simple, so pretty quick service. Decent pub if you're in the area.

P. N. C.

Deceptive size pub in the Strand London. Popped in for a lemonade whilst touring London. They also do food

M. F.

I've been coming here for thirty years. A marvellous pub. Great beers (all of which are brewed by Sam Smith's brewery in Tadcaster). Very reasonable prices and great service. Try the Chandos (at the other end of the Strand) and the Princess Louise in Holborn (my personal favourite) too.

T. T.

Beautiful piece, great theatre. Loved it!

D. D.

Been drinking here on and off for over 5 years and never had a bad evening. Great atmosphere, love the pods, staff are always friendly and the organic beet and cider is superb. Definitely recommend it!

N. G.

As this is a Sam Smith's pub, the beer selection may not appeal to everyone. We didn't mind as it was the 3rd pub in the area that we stuck our head into to see if we could get a seat. Luckily, we got one of the little side booths and enjoyed a drink after lunch.

T. B.

Lovely place for pre theatre drinks

R. D.

Nice pub in Strand, with too floors. Old but well kept. Nice service. Belongs to Samuel Smiths chain. Beers all come from sam smith brewery. Reasonably priced for central London. Food is served in the 1st floor. Food is nice (good options for vegetarians too), specifically the pies.

P. G.

It's a Sam Smith's pub, which means they only stock Sam Smith's beers, lagers, stouts and spirits. It also means it's a cheap place to drink in the middle of town! Warm, dark-wood 'Ye Olde' style interior, friendly staff and great drinks. What more could you want.

G. T.

Traditional decor with a warm welcome and feeling. All organic drinks menu.

R. S.

Quirky pub serving own brands rather than branded. No prosecco and limited choice in wine Father had an organic beer which was smooth and easy to drink Not sure I would return

L.

Cosy booths and great fruit beer

T. Q.

For many years I have been coming to the Lyceum Tavern and I'll find myself going there for many years more. Great place for when in good company of others. Traditional Sam Smith's; rounds of 'Double four'and the 'Extra Stout' for all please..."That'll be £10.50 mate"... bargain!

s. c.

Great beer but the owner Humphrey Smith expects staff to serve beers with a large head, fortunately thish was topped up to an acceptable level on request. Big heads means less beer for you but more money to the brewrey

l. d.

Friendly staff and the beer was very good

D. G.

One of many Sam Smith pubs around the West End, this is a cozy little place with several booths along the wall. It also has an upstairs restaurant bit, although they close that off early, so it can be difficult to get a seat (and as it's right near the Lyceum where the Lion King is on, it gets a lot of pre theatre people).

d. j.

Unusual selection of drinks. Good service.

C. F.

The Lyceum Tavern has long been one of my favourite pubs in London. It's owned by Sam Smith's, so that means that they only sell their own products (no Guinness, Budweiser or other well-known brands) but that means cheap prices by London standards. It's also got a certain old-fashioned charm about it (with no TV and customers prohibited from watching sports events on phones and mobile devices).

P. W.

Went here for a catch up with an old friend on a Friday lunch and it was just right for what we needed. Great beer, nice booths, not too busy and good service. We'll be back again for another catch-up.

J. N.

Nice Sam Smith's pub very traditional

R. K.

One of the finer Sam Smith pubs. A little hidden away or saturated by tourist pubs, this place remains undisturbed by the theatre crowd. Nice period features on the ground floor, the upstairs has plenty more room without the character. Also, you usual good standard of Sam Smith beers and ales

T. S.

Handy pub if visiting the theatre as very local to them.only 2 minutes from the lyceum theatre.very quant pub that Look's very yester year and very English.seemed popular when I visited for food around 5pm.got quite busy when the upstairs restaurant opened around this time.staff were friendly and the food was good and not at all expensive,which makes a change when in the city of London.no fancy titled meals,ie pan fried this or that!.just good old fashion British food.they also claim they have the cheapest beer in the area!. also the décor hasn't been changed or modernised and just adds to the feel of being in an old English inn.would definitely visit again when in the area.also the show Lion King at the lyceum theatre was brilliant!.

D. D.

Nice pub and good beer and prices

L. V.

Samuel Smith’s beer is the best. If you love classic English pub, this is definitely the right place. Teddy and Organic Lager are the best options if this is your first time.

C. B.

Fantastically cosy, occasionally an open fire, great choice of solid beers. Need a quiet place to have a chat with a group of mates that isn't drowned in loud music, then this is your place. Go take a load off.

C. N.

Lovely old theatre lion king was spectacular

R. G.

Great Ambassador Lounge and great show

C. B.

Samuel Smiths are a wonderful chain. Beautiful buildings and decor. Refreshingly no blaring music or sports, and delicious range of beverages. Lyceum is a delightful respite from the bustle of the Strand Highly recommend the Stout!

T. D.

Nice and reasonably priced pub in London. Staff a bit lazy and we had to clear our own table twice. Organic lager was pretty tasty

A. B.

Good place to go for a beer or wine with a group from work at around 4.00 pm as it does not get to busy. Seems to be just off beaten track but yet is very convenient to the Strand and Adlerwych. Yes recommend.

S. K.

Well it's a Sam Smiths so expect slightly cheaper beers in here - although the difference in price between Sam Smith's has vanished very quickly over the last few years. Also you'll be lucky to get a seat in here, but one of the only pubs in this little area so if you happen to be right here and want a beer then it'll do.

B. H.

Typical Sam Smith's pub with cheap beer. Always a struggle to get a seat in the bar because the upstairs area is reserved for people who order food. Often ends up with a packed bar area and an empty dining area which seems a waste of space in central London.

B.

Small pub, quite dark inside. We didn't eat here only had a pre-theatre drink. Not a great selection of drinks here but staff were very pleasant. The do serve food here but we didn't sample this.

B.

Good show watching the Lion King

P. B.

Great place Excellent Show.Lion King

E. K.

This is a Sam Smith pub. Beer is cheap, but not to everyones taste. This place a nice little booths that are tucked away in cubbies in the wall. Great for 2-3 people. Not great for larger groups.

M. S.

Nice little pub near the Lyceum theatre,I think it would probably be busy before night shows and after, the staff who we spoke to were very friendly, bit like a proper boozer inside, good mix of people also.

J. G.

Went in for a late drink after the theatre, landlord and landlady very friendly.

H. P.

Friday evening and it was busy but not rammed. Possible to hear people and great buzz and atmosphere. Beer and other bar products from Samuel Smiths - good quality all round.

S. H.

Really friendly staff, offered something different to a chain pub offering its own selection of brewed beers and ales and an interesting selection of them. Have a traditional English pub vibe and look about it

M. M.

Good place for drinks with friends

S. W.

It's a Sam Smiths pub. You'll love it or loathe it (and the beer). Personally, downstairs is decently "proper pub", but upstairs is now a bit too diorected at dining with tables set with cutlery etc.

Z. S.

Great burgers and friendly service

S. G.

I've not eaten here so I can't comment on the food, but the service was good and the atmosphere was great. No noisy machines - a good place to visit if you want to be able to chat to your friends and have a beer!

R. M.

This is a decent pub and has all the oak pannelling you would want . as a sam smiths its also good on the wallet. I've been here a few times but never as the place I have stayed at for the entire night. It gets busy but not rammed however if you dont want to stand you can book tables and booths. Its a great place to meet and catch up and chat, with okay but not outstanding pub grub. its certainly not a destination pub but then it doesn't pretend to be that.

m. w.

Cozy pub, cheap prices £7.80 for two pints, great price. Good service. Toilets upstairs so dont know about disabled access.

T. S.

Still one of my favourite old tavern style pubs in London. American Pale Ale is excellent, thoroughly recommended.

N. P.

Busy Sam Smiths pub. Very handy for Covent Garden. Old Brewery Bitter always good and very reasonably priced for the West End.

A.

You can never really go wrong with Sam Smiths pubs! Super cheap drinks. Although, do not expect particularly good food here; totally average.

D. E.

Not bad but chair too cramped together.

S. M.

Nice quiet bar. I do love the bottled organic fruit beers they offer, and would heartily recommend them to any with a sweet tooth.

R. L.

Just had a couple drinks very nice landlord will definitely go again

M. S.

Great pub, warm and cozy. Staff were polite and friendly, food was simple pub grub but cooked perfectly and arrived within minutes of ordering

M. B.

I ate upstairs and sat next to the window. It was nice to people watch after walking all day. The fish and chips were good and the staff was friendly and helpful.

J. G.

Lovely Sam Smith pub. Cheap drinks and old fashioned pub feel. Since this is close to both KCL and LSE, it can get busy with students.

D. L.

This was Bram Stoker's local when he was living above the Lyceum Theatre and writing Dracula. On the Strand but feels tucked away and cosy. Under new management, a really friendly Sam Smith's pub, one of my favourites.

K. P.

Nice pub with food service. The personnel could be more helpful. I asked to charge my mobile and the offer me a public unattended socket instead of using a plug in the bar

J. K.

A great little pub in the heart of London. Usually not too crowded, with an agreeable courtyard, and okay prices compared to the rest of the Strand.

J. P.

Head upstairs at this Sam Smiths to enjoy a reasonably priced pint and plenty of seating. Great for groups, an after work or pre dinner drink.

P. K.

Food okay, served quickly too. The menu options not always available at certain times, which is not advertised on the menu outside. So our first choice, after getting a table, was not available due to the menu restrictions.

S. S.

Great performance

K. G.

A Sam Smith's pub, the Lyceum Tavern is a favourite amongst students from across the road at King's and LSE. It's often busy, but the vibe is good and the drinks are a decent price. Get there earlier in the evening to nab one of the cosy booths downstairs.

O. B.

Cheap beer, cosy upstairs. Food is basic pub grub 🐛 but worth buying to get a table upstairs on busy evenings

M. K.

Great pub, decent location with great selection of beer. Tables were a little sticky but otherwise fine.

S. A.

Very cosy friendly old fashioned pup with great independent beers and great simple English pup food. An oasis of tranquility in the heart of London.

G. W.

Cool selection of own-brand beers, spirits and soft drinks. Definitely one of the better pubs in the area.

M. P.

A lovely town pub. Nice seating with plenty of space. Not wheel chair friendly as the toilets are upstairs

m. d.

Excellent pub i would recommend that you drop in for a drink good staff and good atmosphere

A. H.

An historic building serving some good beers and standard pub food at basically standard prices. Easy to go wrong in this area so this is a definite recommendation!

H. G. K.

Typical Sam Smiths fare available here. Often nice and quite. Two floors with a big lounge and food available upstairs. Tiny courtyard out the back to smoke.

D. P.

Came across this pub by chance. A fantastic choice of ales and very comfortable surroundings. Prices were reasonable. Very happy with my find!

M. D.

Nice pub. Stereotypical design. Refreshing to get a well priced pint in central London. Always a fan of Samuel Smith pubs.

C. P.

I regularly visit this pub with friends, mainly for one reason. It's has a really nice atmosphere with good service and friendly staff. The only downfall is that the prices are a bit expensive, but this is mainly due to them having their own brand which in a way can be a positive.

N. E.

Food was good value for the price like really good but staff were inflexible on changing the menu to suit dietary requirements. Basically you get what's on the menu. No changes permitted. Hence a 3 otherwise would have been a 5.

B.

This is a family favourite, we stop in every time we visit London. Lots of great food, great drinks, friendly staff.

M. K.

Another great Sam Smiths pub. Can't say why I like it do much, just a nice old school pub in central London that never gets as unbearably crowded as so many others do

S. B.

Great Sam Smiths pub with lovely staff. Food is ok but the beer is great.

D. C.

Fun little pub with a rock/indie theme

A. R.

Sam Smith's so you know what to expect. You won't get completely ripped off for a pint. Didn't find it too hard to find a space on a Friday night but the kitchen was closed when we tried to order food. It didn't actually say anywhere what the kitchen opening hours were.

M. B.

Great little London pub, with the mega old partitions, that have been ripped out of all other pubs. Good atmosphere

S. H.

A thoroughly brilliant evening

J. P.

Good bar with friendly staff.

E. G.

Nice pub. Nice atmosphere.

L. J.

Lovely little boozer and the food was great. The chicken pie was pukka, give it a try the staff are good

S. B.

Paddington on a February Sunday Sam Smiths pub crawl - sat enjoying an Organic Lager in a cosy booth

S. B.

It's a Samuel Smith pub. Enough said

C. M.

Excellent little watering hole, comfortable and chilled environment. Very nice booths to sit in, friendly staff and cheap, but decent drinks.

M. A.

Excellent beer at low price. What's not to love? No music blasting, that's a blessing. Love you my lovelies!

K. N.

Fantastic pub, great staff - just a little on the small side so gets easily cramped.

A. E.

I like the quiet atmosphere of the Sam Smith pubs. Really nice not having noisy pop music.

D. W.

Good old fashioned pub. Nice selection of Sam Smith's beers.

J. D.

Had a nice pre-theatre meal, reasonably priced & decent selection. Not too busy but a bit of a wait (it was a Saturday evening)

m. s.

Great layout, plenty of character, food at very good prices, Sam Smith beers, good prices though not my favourite beer.

F. B.

Good food. Service with a smile. Nice surroundings. Beer is good. What's not to like... and price was good.

J. M.

Beer was good but the food was just ok. I would recommend trying something else if you're looking for food.

K. M. (.

Great selection of brews. Very reasonable prices. Much better than the "Taylor Walker" pubs.

D. M. C.

Excellent little pub serving a wonderful selection of draught beers I recommend the stout £3.60 pint!!.

J. T.

Really friendly. Big plus....they serve Samuel Smith organic lager! Friendly barman from Ammanford too! 🍻

S. G.

Great place to have good hot pub food and decent drinks. Can get noisy.

P. B.

Great pub food, great prices and friendly staff - what more could you ask for?

P. M.

Very good beer and cider, way better and cheaper than all surrounding pubs

J. W.

Great place to have a pre show meal and drink. Get there early it gets busy nearer show times allow 2 hours

g. d.

Such a old fashioned cozy historical pub. Loved the atmosphere.

J. I.

with half hour to spare I darted in here for a quick pint. I wasn't disappointed and at £2.90 had change too! Worth stopping by.

S. L.

Nice and relaxed. Food good and well priced for central London, can be busy as close to theatre's

f. m.

Great Sam Smith's pub in central London. Nice classic interiors and excellent prices.

K. T.

Great service, nice vibe, good beer. Haven't eat anything though.

M. W.

Service was a bit non personal and the bar tender really should be told to iron his shirt. It was not busy but tables were sticky..

B. P.

Cosy, friendly service and great food! We got a good taste of London :)

K. R.

Wood panelling, real ale

M. B.
