My husband and I had a few beers at Blue Posts before a dinner nearby in Soho earlier this month. We walked in, ordered a couple of points, and stood outside at one of their barrel tables outside. Friendly service, good beer, and great people watching from the patio outside. This pub has a lot of history; it dates back to 1739, and the building has all the character you'd expect from a place that old. Not a bad place to have a few beers when you're exploring Soho! read more

We were in a bit of a time crunch before seeing a nearby show - but without having planned any reservations - were glad we stumbled into this pub. We were able to grab dinner upstairs and we were the only group up there until about 1830. Downstairs was quite crowded - particularly their outdoor seats. My father got the steak, which he said was okay - did the trick, but nothing especially fantastic. I tried the meat and cheese pie and enjoyed it - it was hearty and flavorful, and I loved the mashed potatoes. My younger brother got a burger, which he barely touched - but that is more about little kid pickiness than anything to do with the food! Service was good - fast and attentive, without being overbearing. And we were able to get in, eat, and get to our show with time to spare! read more

Incredibly rude staff. Walked up and asked if there was a table for 5. The guy said "no." Then just stood there looking at us. So we asked how long the wait was and he said. "I have no idea, but you can't stand there." So we left read more

Very disappointing. "Medium" stake was cooked beyond well done and was covered in a ridiculous amount of salt. Fish and chips is very shaky. Would avoid. read more

I'm not sure if it is me, or if it is the English, but the bar staff really didn't seem to want to have a conversation here, despite the fact that the pub wasn't hugely packed. Okay, there wasn't a huge number of tables available, but it wasn't bursting at the seams, as was the case with other pubs that I had visited at other times (even though it was afterwork on a Wednesday). This pub was okay, and even had an outdoor area (though like most English pubs the outdoor area is predominantly for smokers as opposed to an outdoor dining culture). Like a lot of other pubs in the area it has the standard beers on tap, and I certainly wouldn't call it a craft beer bar. It was okay, but nothing all that spectacular, and like many of the other pubs that I had visited in my time in London, read more

Decent traditional British pub just behind Carnaby Street, ideal for a drink pre eating at one of the many restaurants in the area. There is a small lounge upstairs with seating and tables. Nice friendly staff should ensure that pub's survival. read more

Waiting for a table at a local restaurant and stopped in this traditional Pub for a pint . Got educated on the difference between cider, IPA and a Snake Bite (Cider, beer and cranberry). read more

Good location but no impressed with the food. I guess this place is good just for drinks read more

Came here for my first dinner in London and got the big fish and chips and a meat pie with a couple of pints. Loved the fish and chips, not really a fan of the pie but that's just my personal preference. Really great bar staff- super friendly! read more

Blue Posts provided once again what I look for in a British pub; a great bone marrow pie and a fine cask ale. Indoor seating is somewhat limited, but the additional outdoor area makes up for it. Service was very friendly, and if I hadn't gone with the delicious bone marrow pie, there were many more options on the menu - honestly it was a much larger menu than other pubs I've been too. read more

There are two scenarios for my best enjoyment of the Blue Posts: 1) it is horrid weather outside, but not too busy inside. 2) it is nice enough weather to drink outside Basically it is a small bar; it always feels tight and crammed, so if standing outside is not an option for you, be sure to claim a spot away from the bar. This isn't easy as almost everywhere is near the bar. The upstairs eating area is almost always closed off for private events on a Friday night, too. However, I find that due to the size, many groups go elsewhere - meaning a handful of you may be lucky enough to get a table or space beside the open fireplace. I love the fireplace in the winter, it makes you feel cosy whilst you enjoy the mulled wine (also favourable). Generally it is the cosy feel that I like about this place; that and a good selection of beers and bottle ciders. It is a good atmosphere inside due to the cosiness, and is in a great location between Carnaby Street and Regent Street. As I mentioned, many other places are larger and thus attract bigger, more boisterous crowds, hence I find the Blue Posts simply warming and charming when we do fit inside. Standing outside is fine too, as there is enough space on the street, so long as it is warm enough and you are able to get back to the bar inside. Cosy, friendly pub popular after work with a few of us. Hooray! read more

Popped into here for lunch before a meeting and wasnt expecting much to be honest but very pleasantly surprised! Lovely menu and good quality food. Pulled pork wrap snd sweet potato fries were really good sized and quality tasting. £8.45 as well for sandwich fries and drink which is really good value for london. Highly recommended! read more

A nice enough 'old fashioned' pub. It's a sort of chain gastro-pub type of thing. I paid £5.50 for a large glass of Rioja - which was nice, but too much for my small purse. I certainly couldn't afford any more. The staff here are quite friendly. The Blue Posts attracts a lot of people due to its prime location in Soho - so it gets very busy, and as the inside is actually quite small, it can be very cramped and difficult to find a seat. read more

The upside to this pub is actually the upstairs room (and the same can be said of the Rupert Street branch too). Everyone piles out onto the street when it's warm, leaving a massive swarm of drunken media types. And if you can squish past them, you'll find the entire upstairs empty. OK so it's not the most exciting of pubs, but if you want somewhere on a Friday for a big group where everyone can sit and chat, you'll do well here. Prosecco is £17 a bottle, so that's worth it if you're having a celebration. Not my first choice of pubs, but it'll do just fun on a busy evening. read more

A bit expensive, very busy (on a Friday night) and lacking in atmosphere, I thought. Met friends for a drink before heading elsewhere and it served its purpose, but nothing to really encourage repeat visits. Watch out for the other 2/3 identically named pubs nearby though! read more

"Buy One Get One Free, But The Bartender Doesn't Know It" Nice little place to stop into for a drink. We saw the 'buy one get one free' sign outside so we thought we'd give it a whirl. We stepped up to the bar and mentioned the deal. The bartender looked puzzled and said he didn't know what we were talking about. We said it's on the sign outside. More puzzled looks from him. Some discussion ensued about what we could possibly mean, and then we saw the sign was posted directly behind him! We pointed to that sign, and then he said, "Oh! THAT special!" What, were we speaking Chinese? I don't know, but we eventually got served and had a fine time there. read more

rude. didnt take our food or drink orders for 20 minutes. we left but not sure if staff even noticed because they didnt notice we existed while we sat at 1 of 5 tables in their dining area. someone came around to collect menus and just said "excuse me" while she reached over my face to grab the menus. read more

I really enjoyed my meal at Blue Posts. I ordered the fish & chips and my sister ordered the cow pie. We weren't too sure what cow pie is but it definately tasted british. Really, we were looking for true british food and I think this pub suited our preferences quite well. The prices for food is reasonable for the area. Each dinner was aboout 10 Pounds and a bottle of cider about 5.50 Pounds. The atmosphere is great and the staff seemed friendly. Our server did seem new and unable to explain what a cow pie was but, figured it was a change. The fish & chips were quite good, not a lot of batter. I was full before I could finish but they don't have to go containers so had to finish it. Otherwise great little place that I would definately go to again. read more

A nice little pub in the Carnaby area. Quick service and a decent amount of seating for a busy pub in this part of town. Plus, they have Christmas Rekorderlig and mulled wine for the holidays! read more

The pub itself was fine, but on the beautiful warm day we had, the outside tables were fantastic! The location near Carnaby Lane added atmosphere and good people watching but can add a touristy element as well. read more

Wonderful place! A typical English pub. Excellent fish & chips and great service.

Not bad at all. I had a pumpkin-based veggie burger, which was really good, as well as a Punk IPA from Brewdog. All good. No complaints.

I literally ran inside of this place whilst trying to escape from the rain and it was a great place to have ran into! I was with my boyfriend and we thought we would make the best of the situation and settle down for some drinks. We shared the pulled sliders and they were delicious. It came with chips, pickles, and four sliders. The food was fantastic and the so was the price. The dips that came with the chips were sooooo tasty!!! It was a bit crowded but I assume everyone was just finding shelter from the rain as we did so I'll have to try it out on a regular day. The outside seating looked like it would be pleasant on a nicer day. We will definitely be back and with friends! read more
