    Location, location, location. What a lovely place to watch the world go by. Super busy area and interior isn’t as ye olde as some but it’s friendly and efficient and well worth a visit

    Guter Pub in zentraler Lage mit freundlichem Servicepersonal und authentischer Einrichtung. Die Bierauswahl ist gut, zudem gibt es bei den Spirituosen den ein oder anderen Schatz den ich hier nicht vermutet hätte. Zum Essen kann ich keine Aussage treffen. Preislich L londontypisch teuer.

    Service 1/10 not worthy of staying - the bar is part of Dusk app but was not willing to compromise or offer promotion - if this is the approach towards their customers - I will not recommend visiting this place as there are many great bars in close distance. Two bartenders did not even seem interested to have extra customers. Day visited: 7/3/2022

    Great bar in covent garden, London 🇬🇧 We wanted to try a few English beers and took the recommendations they gave us, the staff is friendly, the bears are good and the atmosphere is also great!

    £7.55 a pint. Oooooooooof. Still, decent enough boozer bang on Seven Dials and it felt proper lovely and buzzy around Christmas. I'm sure we'll be back.

    we went in and ordered two pints, in less than 5 minutes they rang the bell to say they were closing. It’s bad that they serve you and don’t tell you in advance that they’re going to close, because there is no time to finish the drink

    Lovely staff. Friendly staff (especially Anna and Thomas) and lovely atmosphere and cold pints. Stairs to toilets... Are interesting

    A nice little Greene King pub. A good selection of drinks including three cask ales. I opted for a Buffalo Trace bourbon which was very reasonably priced, for the area, at just under £8. This was due to a special offer, double up for an extra £2.50. Service was friendly, a pub I will visit again.

    Great little pub on a sunny London day at a seven ways roundabout so lots to see

  • 1/5 Robert J. 2 months ago on Google • 11 reviews New
    Arrived at 10:54….we asked if they were still serving…they said yes….my wife and I ordered a half pint each. At 11pm the security guard said they were closing and we had to leave. The staff were aware that he was doing this. I said I thought we had 10 mind drinking time from the bell. He said we didn’t and that there were special rules for the pub because it was listed! They were happy to take out money and then turfed us out after 6 minutes, I’m glad we didn’t order a pint. I font think what he said was correct and the staff should not let security behave this way simply because they want to go home a little earlier. Very unprofessional. If you don’t like working late…get a different job. I suspect this is common practice. Most unfriendly. We won’t be returning.

    Was fed up of wandering around Covent Garden and found this pub on the way back to Leicester square. Reasonable prices given its location and the staff were friendly to everyone. We managed to find a table next to the TV and mulled wine but before we could sit down the bar tender was wiping the table down which was really good considering the bar was busy. Would definitely go back and spare more time in there on a future visit to London.

    A fascinating bar that appears to be quintessentially English in nature. It's on a roundabout in the Covent garden market district and serves good beer with a spill over of people into the Courtyard and sidewalk. Good beer but 'sold out' in most taps.

    Nice little pub, but Neck Oil tasted watery and barman seemed judgey when I ordered a half.

    Hands down the best pub in this neighborhood. The highlight was bartender Tomas, so friendly and makes your feel right at home!

    Very cool, warm and welcoming traditional London pub, set in the heart of Seven Dials. Fantastic, we had a lovely few drinks here.

    The beer tasted strange, so we went on the gins. The barman gave me gin and tonic, I had to explain that I didn't want tonic just gin which left me with two huge wine glasses full of ice? This pub could be so much better.

  • 5/5 Brittney P. 1 year ago on Google
    Best pub ever! Super welcoming and friendly!! Thomas (our bartender) is amazing; definitely will be going again!

  • 3/5 macedonboy 5 years ago on Google
    Popular place in a quirky location as it's located right next to the Seven Dials. There's a range of drinks from all over Europe, but no food is served. Inside, the pub isn't that big and it doesn't take many people to make it feel rather cosy. Sadly, located as it is within the very touristy area of Covent Gardens and Leicester Square, the prices in this pub reflect that. The drinks are extortionately prices.

    I was having a lovely evening with my friends until , one of them was refused entry because we had been playing a game ‘for 3 hours ‘, which was in fact a miniature Ludo and we had arrived 30 minutes before . We all had a drink , we were not being loud. However the security guard clearly wasn’t having a nice evening himself and took it out on us . Will not be returning.

    Amazing pub in Seven Dials. Walked in on a Wednesday evening and Thomas and Anna were super helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this pub to tourist and locals. Will definitely be back!

    Was in your venue this evening and over heard security arguing with 2 young ladies over the fact they had brought a board game with them. We loved our first visit to this venue but from what we witnessed this evening we will not be returning from the actions of one individual!
