Relaxing pub divided into several attractive drinking areas. Well known haunt of Lenin and Stalin in 1905. Great real ales .
Amazing food! 6 of us down for the weekend. Nice selection on the menu and all well cooked and presented. Happy and knowledgable staff . Beer selection was also great. Will be back again.
A nice, relaxed vibe in here. Great selection of speciality and craft beers/lagers from around the world, and quality pub grub to go with it. Just expect to be paying minimum of £5 a pint on average.
Good pub . Nice selection of beers . Good looks good, though I didn't try it. Nice outdoor area at the front, in the square.
10 February: Drink in the pub where Lenin and Stalin 'first met'. Some claim that they met in the pub which is now called the Crown. Lenin had recently moved publication of Iskra to Clerkenwell Green.
My new favourite local terrace for a sunny afternoon coffee at the weekend. The decor indoors is lovely, need to come back to try the food.
One of my favourite after work drinking holes. Can get very busy after work, but has a large area outside to stand and chill with a pint in summer
Lovely cosy pub with outdoor seating . Nice mulled wine and I like the Modelo drink they do :)
Be extremely careful outside this pub . Pick pockets everywhere and they're seriously good. A friend of mine left a decoy bag so we could catch them, but they managed to get it without us noticing!
One of my fav places for Sunday Lunch order the creamed leeks as a side. Delicious!!
Such a lovely place! Nice food, staff and environment!
Great beer selection . Big up to the upstairs (comfy couches ).
Lovely upstairs area - perhaps a theatre once? Food was good, beer was good, although selection not great. A bit pricey ?
get in early for lunch , any of the sandwiches are good, chips pretty good, too; the sharing platters are good for 2 or more in the evenings
Food is pricier than average but its worth it. Great fish & chips .
Good beer selection , something for everyone. Food can be a bit hit & miss - avoid the coleslaw !
Don't get the chicken supreme unless you love mustard !! Garlic bread was on the hard side but fries (not skin on chips ) are amaze!
Great burger with pork something or other. Excellent service from Hannah
Good Christmas atmosphere :)
Great cornish cider and flavoured beer !
Food served quickly and good quality.
Lovely friendly staff despite insane busyness on Friday evenings
The refit is really good. Worth a re-visit
Food was overpriced for what it was. A club sandwich for 8 quid with some cheap bread and hardly any filling. Fish drenched in oil. The chips were alright but to put it mildy I was not best pleased.
The American IPA is top drawer.
Great selection of beers , and the olives are yummy! Read more
Great selection of beers , but getting food within your lunch break on a Friday lunchtime is very ambitious.
This pub has the best fish & chips in the area
V.busy during the week but lovely spot to while away a weekend. Don't miss specialty beers on tap in the autumn.
Excellent proper beer selection .
Ask for the duck rap! Mmmmmmmm. If you also ask for 'da crap' it's sounds the same - and they don't seem to notice.
Poutine hit the spot
Grab a table in the bright sunshine!
Lovely place. Could spend a long time in here
Great food and post work beverages.. but packed on a Friday night!
A great Sunday Roast , lovely service & free bread to start
Great mulled wine !
Try the chilli-popcorn!
Drinks outside in the sun
Nice pub , good food. Staff rudeness levels vary ("tall bloke" particularly rude) - shame
the best pub in London!
Seen mouse trotting round the floor of the pub . Not sure I'll order any food here...
The Thornbridge Jaipur IPA is just.. mngh!
Micareta inglesa.
Food generally good but avoid bar snacks . Overpriced & undergood.
Brilliantly historic. Ace food. Friendly people and they allow dogs inside. The upstairs room is beautiful.
Friendly staff . Below average food though
Immense sandwiches
В этом пабе достоверно известно, что бывали Ленин и Сталин. Более того, утверждают, что именно здесь они и познакомились
Dangerous! Has a wide selection of great (and high ABV level) beer. Also good on the small bites. - Omer Cavusoglu
The very best pulled pork burgers in London - delicious! Go for it! You'll never forget! Mmm - Wendy Devolder
Good pub and always busy! Whoever said the best burger in soho missed Honest Burger around the corner. Still a great pub for a few drinks! - Ashley O'Dell
Brilliant pub in the winter and even better in the summer. If you're going to eat, go for the chilli dish - although the wine, beers and cider are all v.good and v.reasonably priced. - Claire Badhams
