    The environment is really cozy and let you feel relax very much. Staffs are very cheerful and friendly and a big range of drinks. However, price is really too expensive vs the volume. The glass of Rosa & wine is really too little based on price, never got a “glass” is they little 😅😅

    Just popped in for a quick pint on a Saturday afternoon with my 6yr old daughter (no stranger to sitting quietly in a pub) and was told pretty abruptly that no children were allowed. Not even sitting outside. Nothing on the website about a no-child policy. So a thumbs-down from me.

    Haven't been here since it changed owners. A really nice refurb, and the drinks and food menu are good. Hidden away from most of the craziness of Leicester Square and China Town. Well worth a visit.

    Absolutely the worst experience in 35 years of living central london . All I wanted was a quick drink whilst my wife shopped in China town . What I got was a extremely rude female member of staff. I asked for my drink a large whiskey and she brought out a high slim glass so I politely asked for a tumber . When i paid she totally went off on one accussing me of not telling her my requirements ( shouting ) extremely rude and embassing Isn't the bar staffs job to ask what the customer requires . I was so annoyed I went out side in the cold to calm down and finish my drink . Even the door man apologised for her behaviour. Totally ruined my evening thank you

    Very rude waitress. After ordering a couple of beers, the waitress pours 1/4 of a pint and the tap runs out. At this point I ask her to switch for another cheaper beer as I’m in a hurry after waiting a while to order. She then says that since she already poured some she won’t change and the swap should take a couple of minutes. 10 minutes later still no beer, some creep starts hitting on me at the bar and I ask for a second time to get a different beer as I never intended to spend 20min at the bar, to which she still says no, and then takes another good 5 to pour the beer cuz it’s apparently the first time she’s doing it. At least pay back the inexperience with some form of kindness. Rudest place never going back

    The Blue Posts is a lovely place located in the heart of SOHO. I've been in this place plenty of times and it's always nice to be here an enjoy cocktails the vibe is always very cool.....a bit savage on Saturday and Friday nights but very quiet and relaxing in the afternoon. The place is very small so it's very hard to find sometimes a spot there. Cocktails are amazing (especially its Negroni is one of the best in the city), and it would be perfect for a pre or post-theatre drink

    A pub too busy on a Saturday with one server, voluptuos but unwilling to pull the London Black unless you are patient with the crowds spilling onto the side lane. Good smooth alternative to Guinness but lacking body. Other craft ales IPA beers on tap for GBP6.50.

    Good old London bar. Enjoyed the Dennis Hopper IPA, wish I chosen the London Black though. Had a giant lamb sausage roll which was delicious. The staff very friendly. Good atmosphere and ideal to pop in before hitting the theatre.

    I am puzzled by the person here who says that women should avoid this pub, she says that she was refused a drink. Myself and my husband used the bar before we went to see the fantastic Jerusalem at the nearby Apollo Theatre, the bar staff were polite and efficient, the wine I had was really great, superb wine, very cold, and in a spotless wine glass, so rare these days when its all dishwasher fluid stains and lipstick or chipped etc. My husband loved his Dennis Hopper beer, we would love to return to this small bar we loved its vibe and loved our drinks, so I can only say if the person who is negatively reviewing the pub was intoxicated, the bar staff were very correct in their not to serve a person who was inebriated. Thanks to the staff on the day (yesterday, Saturday) x

    Cracking little spot for a few drinks. Popped in after a matinee show at the theatre. Great selection of beers on tap. Excellent Margarita. Try the spicy mixed nuts! Will definitely be back.

    Drinks were good, staff could be friendlier. Was put off enough to leave after a drink to find better service elsewhere

    Its a pub, nice decoration. Food snacks not so impressive, but still fine for a quick stop to relax and chat

    Ate at Evelyn's Table, with a stop in their 1st floor wine bar. Probably one of my best London experiences! The Only negative to mention is the tight squeeze and elbow knocking of the 12 diners at the counter. Everything else was 100% Michelin awesomeness. Well done.

  • 5/5 Taren “Gigs” H. 2 months ago on Google • 9 reviews New
    The atmosphere was warm and charming. The bartenders were kind and highly accommodating for a sober customer in making me a delicious and reasonably priced mocktail. They also had a great beer selection for the beer drinkers. Would highly recommend.

    Nice pub close to Piccadilly Circus. Inside and outside seating. Variety of drinks and food too for a reasonable price. Good customer service.

    I had Bloody Mary and Espresso Martini without too much expectation and they turned out to be exquisite, a pleasant surprise! 🥰

    £14 for two 25ml shots of gin and tonics but you don’t keep the bottle of tonic.. we won’t be staying for another drink. Big glasses with lots of ice definitely needed

  • 4/5 Sami K. 5 years ago on Google
    Laid back bar with a larger main area on the ground floor and a cocktail bar upstairs. I ordered a caipirinha off-menu and was very impressed; bitter, strong and delicious with a citrus-y tang. My friend ordered a gin & tonic which was good but nothing spectacular. I would say it's worth a visit for a single drink or a special occasion, otherwise it's rather expensive.

  • 4/5 Dai T. 4 years ago on Google
    A lovely quaint Soho pub with great staff and a riot of customers, intended in the best possible way. i.e. all sorts of wonderful people. Good beer and plenty of alternatives to choose from. A very streamlined bar restaurant downstairs, an oyster bar maybe. Also, something upstairs but not visited on this occasion. A tardis of a pub. Do pay a visit.

  • 3/5 Aviv A. 1 year ago on Google
    Nothing special, no theme or anything but a nice vibe. Cool side dish

  • 5/5 Peter F. 1 year ago on Google
    Great off the beaten track place in the hear of Central. Staff really great and such a cool place. Almost tempted to not review as don't want everyone to know about it. But that wouldn't be fair. I'll be back! 👍🏻

    Especially women should avoid this place at all costs! I've never felt more humiliated in my life before. The manager/bartender refused to serve me drinks which is quite understandable as they are legally allowed to do so. But I wasn't even tipsy so I asked him what made him think that I was drunk. He didn't give me an answer but he told my male friend who was tipsy at the moment that he had been doing his job long enough to understand if someone is drunk. Apparently not. I went up to the securities just to explain myself and ask whether they think I was drunk or not. They ended up apologising on the behalf of their manager. I completely understand that it is his duty to refuse to serve drinks sometimes. But there was no single person except the extremely rude manager who thought I ‘had enough to drink’. He didn't even let me speak while he was the one making the accusations. This is unjustifiable behaviour from a manager in hospitality, especially considering I was not creating any problem.

  • 5/5 James C. 2 years ago on Google
    Really like this place - good atmosphere, good crowd, good beers. There's a wine bar upstairs that has a great menu and really nice staff that will help you out if you need it, but you will probably need to book. There's also a Michelin-starred restaurant downstairs, so the bar snacks, whilst being pricey, are absolutely delicious!

    This pub is always a go to of mine when around the China town area of Soho. Open later than most, really nice pub, chilled vibe, good beers and cocktails. Great spot.

    Extremely rude staff. We went here for a drink last Friday, we ordered two glasses of wine and paid for them. We noticed the wine tasted different to expected and that we had been over charged. We mentioned this to the bartender and he told us that we ordered a different wine. When we asked could we have the original wine we ordered he replied, ‘I’d prefer if you took the refund’. I said that we’d prefer the other wine instead and he said he’d check but said they probably didn’t have it. As expected, ‘it was out of stock’. Five minutes later, the manager approached us and asked are you the guys who got the “wrong wine?” she used her fingers to make quotation marks “”). It was a most unenjoyable experience and the staff didn’t apologise. All we wanted was them to acknowledge the mix up with payments, we were not looking for a refund. A terrible start to our evening.
