Ana Lara

Lovely pub with a cozy atmosphere , open fire and a Thai restaurant at the back. It gets quite busy and the service for food is a bit slow but overall is a great choice.

Simon K

Some of the best Thai food around. Always a good range of ales . Bar staff v friendly . Best to book for lunch - not always guaranteed to get a seat otherwise as it's very popular. No evening bookings .

Tobias Reynolds

Great selection of real ales . It is on a street called Roupell, which is listed and features terraced houses made from the traditional "London stock brick" which is a pleasing yellow in colour.

Cheen The Curious

Charming neighbourhood pub . Good choice of beers . There’s also cider . Enjoyed a pint of Guinness (£6). A packet of nuts (salted, honeyed or spicy ) was £2

Antonio

What a great pub ! I haven't tried their Thai food just yet, but I'll definitely come back here, if only for the traditional feel it has, tucked away in a beautiful old victorian road .

Andy Burgess

Gets a bit busy at times, but an excellent hidey-hole while waiting for a train at Waterloo, or for a film at the IMAX. The Thai menu is simple, but very good fare.

Sam M

Not a spectacular beer selection but nicely kept, friendly place and cosy. Nice large seating area out the back and Thai food . Off the track somewhat, laid-back atmosphere.

Jessica Barlow

Really liked the Pad Med Mamuang - tasty! Upstairs is nice for groups. Love playing board games here on a Sunday!

Stuart Dennis

Located close to Waterloo Station and the Imax, and nestled half way down a very pretty and secluded backstreet, lined with period properties. An authentic British local pub . Cheers!

Marius Comper

Great Thai food , good beer selection (including Blue Moon on tap ). Possibly the nicest pub in the area.

Daniel Kolodziej

Literally my fav london pub . Great Thai food in a fantastic space. Drinking on the street is extra special given the aesthetic of Roupell St.

Daryl Shannon

If its Ale you want go to the Kings it has a great selection at all times and always kept just right. At least 8 ales .

Denis Maguire

Ton Yum & fish cakes for starters, Pad Thai and prawns for mains.... super food and great pub up front for craft beers ???? 5 stars

Sophie R.

A very warm and charming pub with a lot of character, hidden in a quiet and typical street minutes away from very busy Waterloo. Absolutely love this place.

Dan Hopchet ✨

Great hidden restaurant at the back and nice spread of beers and ales , plus great information about the options

Fabien Butazzi

Try the Spicy Pad Thai and Shrimp - Very good Thai food , unexpected. And great ales too. This small pub is a gem.

John Cooper

Proper London pub in an old victorian road that serves great beer . Whats not to like!

Gareth Pitt

Best Thai food in the area. Quick service , perfect for lunchtime. Phad Thai every time. Great feel to it - spot the luvvies from the nearby Old Vic.

Mary Ann

A nice local near Waterloo away from the tourists with a Dr. Who street nearby

Ting-Fung Chan

Pub in the front, fantastic Thai restaurant at the back! Lovely pad see yew, will definitely be back for more.

ᴡ Kane

Love this place. The Thai food is pretty reasonable.

Daniel

Great beers and ambience, a stones throw away from Waterloo but without all the annoying tourists

Lidia Vorontsova

I like it. It's tiny and it's busy, but it's got a lovely vibe about it.

Vinod Diwakar

The beer is great but frankly give the food a miss. The starters were much as you'd get from the frozen aisle of the supermarket and the mains much the same. A big disappointment given the reviews

Nina Cairns

Great food, quick service lively atmosphere , highly recommended

Billy Sayers

A fantastic traditional pub tucked away down the terraced houses .

Clea Romeo

Cosy dog friendly pub with a Thai restaurant out back

David Allen

Great spot for a drink - though gets very busy.

James

Lots of suits. But some nice ale , some interesting characters and great Thai food out back.

Chris

Amazing Thai food . Who would've thought?! Secretly hidden out the back! Best Thai food since Thailand!!

Peter Thorpe

If you can handle it the Dark Star Imperial Stout at 10.5% is wonderful!

Dertie Bixon

Great tucked away ale pub . Don't tell everyone!

Board games played here every Sunday 3 to 10. Lovely group.

Best pub in the area. One of the barman is called merlin and the other has styled himself on Ming the merciless.

Simon Yandell

A gem of a back street boozer. 8 real ales on tap - fantastic!
