A great place for after work drinks in the heart of the city . A very old school, traditional pub . Good wine and ales drinks menu, food very average. Recommended for drinks only. Prices reasonable.
Hidden down alleyways on the site of the first London coffee house . Beautiful building and interior. Great real ales from Shepherd Neame brewery .
One of the steps outside the side entrance of the bar is curved, because it's been around for hundreds of years and worn down by years of people stepping in and out.
Take a moment to discover another hidden gem in London, great selection of wines . Free wifi . Does get mobbed in evenings but quieter and quicker service downstairs.

Forget the queue at the main bar and head down to the basement for quick service .
Proper, old London boozer tucked away from the madding crowd.
Wonderful old pub with rich long history. Food is ok.
Had a pleasant evening there, but I didn't like the narrow selection of beers .
very nice pub and nice collections of beers

Place for drinks after work with guys.
Lovely bar to stand outside of. Asahi on tap too.
Huge. Good food and beer. Get there early for lunch (12:00) as it gets busy quickly. - Ben Barden
