One of London's best kept secrets. A trendy pub that turns into a cocktail-bar-esque venue at some point after 10pm. Open 'til 3am some nights, this is the best way to end any evening.

Derek Wilson

Charming and cozy little corner joint with a nice upstairs and a dictator urinal. You read that right...

Christopher Oladogba

Def worth going for the specials. The Kangaroo burger was amazing. Comes with some mighty fine chips too!

Uliana Leo

Love it. :) a lot of places to have a nice dinner and awesome walk . Just too much people on weekends

Jonathan Beeston

A lady came round with a huge platter of scotch eggs , on the house. Life doesn't get much better than that.

Alex Gibson

Nice gin cocktails and a DJ on a Friday

Brent Beer

Thursday nights they have a DJ and they're open until 3. Awesome. Best music

Erika Kayaki

Excelent service, perfect food

Vikash

Beat pub between Tottenham Court Road and Holborn. Quirky decor on the 2nd floor..

Sarah Conrad

Surprisingly good bar food . Me likes the fries and onion rings .

Sophie Hall

Good food, but very disappointing service; mixed up the order (which can happen) and then repeatedly jnsisted that the beef burger was in fact falafel . No apology or attempt at friendliness.

Jake Vander Linden

Surprisingly good veggie dog . Like a falafel shaft on a bun .

Omar Malik

Don't ask for Sipsmiths gin with your tonic. Lovely stuff of course, but paying £6.95 for a single is a preposterous.

Guy Corbet

It's one of the greats

Eduardo Rodriguez

Good for afrer work drinks. But can get too crowded .

Dave Chapman

Friendly staff and great location.

Mark Bowerman

Treat yourself to a £3.80 Coke . Delicious.

Julie ODonnell

Popped in as a small group for lunch . Grouchy staff & not much seating.Rickety table.Caesar salad was ok. OC Burger was apparently decent.

John Pearson

Perhaps don’t tidy up the stools around your only patron.

Sacha Mohabeer

Make sure you get a reservation in advance. Bartenders are super nice!

Book a room upstairs for going away drinks. Fuck off out of town and come back and do it all again!

Callum Watt

Amazing burgers

Rafa Lombardo Valero

Cozy area upstairs

Matt White

Not cheap but they do a nice pint of Tribute in a proper pint pot with a handle.

Al. S

Order their famous Bloody Mary if you get the chance! You will not be disappointed!

Steve Summers

Also called "Secret Bar " because you can't see the name of the place once the sun goes down.

Alexander Myskin

Sainsbury's non-alc takeover wasn't fun.

Londonist

Creep up to the very top floor to spy some unusual paintings of animals in distress.

Cherie Matrix-Holt

Best bloody mary ever...!!!

Neil Merchant

Who ever said the drink is cheap lied! 4.40 for a pint of San Miguel !

Nadiem von Heydebrand

Very nice Sam Smiths pub. They serve all their own drinks so don't expect to see the usual Stella, Fosters and Strongbow on tap (that's a good thing!). - Ben Taylor
