I chose this place because I was starving and it was near the hotel, but also the most crowded place in the area. Lots of people outside and inside was bustling! They greeted me right away and I sat by the window in a bar type seat. Very nice. Great menu. Great beer and huge selection! So glad I went here.

Beating the crowds on a weekday afternoon means a good meal in a convenient spot, away from the crowds except the neighborhood crowds partaking in food and revelry. Lunch sandwich choices offer diversity without overwhelming. The pork was tasty along with the Parmesan truffle chips. Yes I got the truffle but it could have been stronger. Mains are nice here as well, and you should head on over before it gets too busy. Otherwise squeeze in during the packed times and have some fun.

The clay pot rice is so nice! The rice is with aroma. I like the beef ball which includes aged organs peel and mati.

In town for a few days, just popped in for a few pints with my better half and had a lovely few rounds pre / post the 5 o' clock crowd, nice selection, engaging staff, and good price. Would be happy to return when back this way -

I was going to give them 3 stars since it can sometimes be very quiet. However I'm giving them an extra star for effort. It seems they try and build audiences on different nights (beer & mussels night on Wednesdays, for example). And they have reasonably priced tequila alongside a decent variety of Scotches. While raised on tequila shots (at least from ages 18-25), I've since learned a good tequila is best enjoyed sipped. If you don't feel like filling up with beer, then sipping a small glass of good agave juice is a nice alternative. Heck, they might want to try Taco Night. I'll bring the salsa.

Great spot for a pint with outdoor seating and a cozy feel inside. Definitely a local's haunt but in a good way.

Such a cute, old fashioned place. Really really loved this location- only went for pints and little…read moresnacks but area is gorgeous as well pub is very cute. Overall really enjoyable experience. Was rather packed and service is quick but able to snag seat. Recommend

Flew in on a Sunday and arrived at my hotel around noon. Immediately went to the concierge to see…read moreif he could secure me a spot since I had zero luck trying to get a reservation on line for two weeks prior. Remarkable, he scored and I literally walked around the corner and saw the long line to get into the pub first. I was seated immediately, however, and proceeded to enjoy a traditional Sunday Roast. Room was very pleasant (there are so many I got lost returning to my table from a bio brake. Roast was very good ( but no Lawry's) and the sides excellent. Could not decide if my favorite was the roast potatoes (crispy outside soft inside) or the glazed carrots. Yorkshire pudding was good but again, I am to used to the Lawry's and this is a different style. Peas were, well, peas, but very fresh. The sticky toffee cake was excellent and the Guinness fresh, creamy and a proper pour. Good thing because the selection of winners by the glass and half bottles of wine were both a little thin. Overall wine list was good but I was alone and not up for drinking a full bottle by myself. Overall, very enjoyable and to judge by the crowd and difficulty in getting a reservation, one of the more popular in town.

The history alone makes it worth visiting, and the location is perfect if you're exploring the area. It feels very classic London in the best way. We stopped in for a pint and honestly... the whole after-work beer culture over there is something I really need to bring back with me to the States. The beer was great, the atmosphere was lively without feeling overwhelming, and it just felt like one of those places where people naturally gather and stay awhile. Definitely worth stopping into if you're in the area.

Two story space - the ground floor feature the bar and handles walk in lunch; the upstairs is a dining room for those with reservations. Fun fact, as part of the history, the pub used to be the host of bare knuckle fights and had regulars like Charles Dickens. Wildfarmed sourdough - served with whipped salted butter and Guinness butter. Well toasted bread and the butters with salt were well made. Fuller's London Pride marinated steak and ale pie - served with seasonal veggies and red wine gravy, as well as either mash potatoes or triple cooked chips. If there is one dish London does really well, it's their pies. It was beautifully made and loaded with steak. The red wine gravy was decadent and added a perfect amount of moisture to the pie. Triple cooked chips were perfectly crispy but fluffy on the inside. Corn fed chicken breast - served with garlic and sage butter, mash potato, cavolo nero, and crispy onions. Only took a bite of this as it was my partner's dish but the bite of chicken I had was very juicy and well seasoned.
