Try to drink draft Peroni. It is a nice and little pub in Leicester Square.

Very lovely pub & dining room in the center of West end. Awesome vibe before theatre with very delicious and professional cooked food🔝✨ probably the best and kindest staff I have ever experienced:)

Good pub grub and reasonable prices. Try the pies... Just what you want on a cold day. Charlie Chaplin used to drink here.

The Outlier Blonde is a lovely beer. Plus they have Bitter & Twisted on tap... An amazing Scottish ale.

Great little oasis, right on the beaten track. Surprisingly uncrowded and civil.

Yeah, grab the green beer if it's still on tap. Pretty decent. Otherwise, this pub is a surprisingly characterful place in the middle of Tourist Central. definitely worth a look in.

Breakfast served until noon. If you want anything on the lunch menu before then, don't count on it.

A good pub to arrange to meet in as it's within sight of Leicester Square tube but small enough that it's impossible to miss someone. It used to be even smaller before they took over the tobacconists.

Great little pub, and Aspell on tap.

At the moment (March 10) they have a green ale called Signs Of Spring; it's actually quite nice.

Greasy pub grub with Peroni beer :-)

A Nicholson's pub, so you know it's nice.

Cider is now Asphall.

There's a rather rude eastern European woman that works upstairs in the dining room. Be nice to her or she'll probably kill your first born child.

Find another pub as as of 17/11/11 it's shut!
Martin TogherOctober 13, 2011
Pint of Doombar £2.85!

Decent prices/beers for a touristy and expensive part of London

Deaf staff? I asked for a Strongbow, they gave me a Sol

Haftasonu dışarıda bile yer bulamayacağınız pazar akşamları tüm masaların sizin olduğu yer. Diğer publara göre daha sakin
Simone CalzàNovember 19, 2015
Posto abbastanza carino,buona selezione di birre,ma camerieri maleducati e sfacciati.Prezzi esagerati,come tutta Londra per noi che paghiamo con euro.
Julián Sánchez-OstizMarch 15, 2015
Pub tranquilo para tomar una pinta y descansar del día.
