Great dinner! Pub…read morehas great decor and a warm feel. We had dinner in the back dining room. Between the three of us, we had fish and chips, mussels, and the chicken and leek pie. The chicken and leek pie was 10/10, best I've ever had. The fish and chips however we more like 4/10. Over battered and left the fish in more of a mush, do not recommend.

The bartender was incredibly friendly and helpful! When I ordered one of their cask ales, she let me know it might taste warmer and flatter than I'm used to as an American (I'm a beer enthusiast who has been to England before so I knew this, but could definitely be helpful information to other Americans). My son was psyched to see they had J2O, his new favorite British drink. We ordered lunch from the Thai restaurant next door (the two businesses are connected) and sat at the corner table by the fireplace. The food was excellent, the beer superb, the atmosphere cozy and quaint. Everything I could hope for as an American looking for a traditional English pub. Of the many pubs we went to during our trip around England, this was one of my favorites.

Luckily we found some stool seating by the front and were able to enjoy some beers and take in the ambiance. There's an upstairs that is accessible by a very very narrow staircase which even has handles for support, all part of the fun lol!! Beer: We tried out the Guinness (great pouring process!), peroni, and a local ale which the bartender allowed me to sample. He was very helpful and walked me through the different ciders they had in stock and even how you could add fruit syrups to sweeten the flavor. What makes this place even more memorable was the helpfulness of the young guy bartending. He helped us plan how to get to Gatwick airport extremely early the next morning and we owe him a big one!

You could spend a month looking at all of the photos, stickers, and items on the wall. We sat outside since the weather was nice. Despite having to sit near a guy who had to make sure all of London could hear him, it was great. We both got a couple of beers and I got the Lord Nelson, a burger with with bacon and egg. It was really good, but impossible to eat like a hamburger. Service was great!

Atmosphere: It's more lively on the afternoon than late into the evening. A casual place to sit down with a group of friends and has typical decor of a pub. There's more mingling than watching sports on TV. Tips: This is also a hostel and the service is very good! It's also convenient, right next to Waterloo station and a short walk to Big Ben and London Eye!

A complete waste of my time…read more Came in for St. Patrick's Day, looking for both dinner and drinks. Asked the server if I needed to wait to be seated. She said there was open seating. I take a seat and wait for server to come by and take my order. Fifteen minutes or so pass, and several servers walk past me. No one stopped to bring me a menu, or even acknowledge that I was waiting. Finally, I saw the same server and asked her was anybody going to come by to take my order. She told me that orders are to be placed at the bar. I asked her if the kitchen was still open, and she said that they also don't serve food. Jesus.... If patrons have to order their own cocktails, why are their servers present at all? Moreover, why isn't there any signage indicating to patrons that this establishment is both self-seating as well as self-service (well, placing your own order at the bar)?

We were seated right away and ordered a burger, which came with red coleslaw and French fries. The burger was cooked well and was delicious. The French fries were just as good. The restaurant was clean, and although busy, the staff was attentive and friendly. A shout-out to Ellis, who was our hostess, server, and even our tour guide all in one! He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and made our experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a great burger in London with excellent service and a welcoming atmosphere, Red Lion is definitely worth a visit!

Waterloo Tap has a fine selection of beers and a few choice ciders, of which we sampled some really tasty options. I'm sure, like many places, it was a rotating list, so my picks would probably not be the same as yours, but that's part of the mystery of going out, yes? Sitting under a bridge while enjoying a beer and crushing a delicious burger and chips? Had both a calming and exciting vibe. Like being in an exclusive club carved out of the bridge. If only every day could be as delicious. And a final shout out to the bartenders. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Exceptional service.

Great place for a drink, dinner or both!…read more I finally was able to get to this place for dinner. I went there with colleagues. It was packed so we grabbed drinks while waiting for a table. I had an amazing duck plate while the others shared a lamb dish (they seem to have these big share dishes where you need to have multiple people order). The dishes were wonderfully tasty and well proportioned. We finished off sharing a flourless chocolate cake. Again really worth the calories. I will definitely be visiting here again the next time I'm in London.
