82 AMBIANCE 5/5 SERVICE 8/10 SELECTION 10/15 FOOD N/A VALUE N/A OVERALL 18/20 PorterCall (10) (Formerly UK), Denmark | February 9, 2006| Updated February 11, 2006 A great Sam Smiths pub right opposite Trafalgar Square. As it is a Sam Smiths pub it is less than £2 a pint and in Central London that is a rarity. Normal selection of bottles. A great place to meet friends as there is ample space, background music on playing a good cross section of sounds. Plenty of good seating available as it is such a big pub, on two floors. Beer served well enough and staff very friendly, but I really only came here so I could buy Oatmeal Stout! A beer not to miss. | 80 AMBIANCE 5/5 SERVICE 8/10 SELECTION 9/15 FOOD 8/10 VALUE N/A OVERALL 18/20 fonefan (29) VestJylland, Denmark | November 18, 2006 A great place to meet. Plenty of good seating available, pub is on two floors. Beer served well and staff very friendly. Food is also served very nice and good quality, you have to try "fish and chips with tartar sauce" with and old brewery. | 72 AMBIANCE 4/5 SERVICE 8/10 SELECTION 10/15 FOOD N/A VALUE 7/10 OVERALL 14/20 JCB (174) Durham, North Carolina | November 12, 2012 Been here so many times on different visits over the years, and I always enjoying having a pint in this elegant but fairly relaxing setting. Right in the thick of tourist central (and hey, I’m a tourist) but nice if you hit it at the right time. Selection isn’t the greatest but I have a soft spot for this brewery and its pubs. Certainly a good place to stop if you’re in the area for food and/or museums. | 70 AMBIANCE 4/5 SERVICE 8/10 SELECTION 9/15 FOOD 7/10 VALUE N/A OVERALL 14/20 Brugmansia (257) Jylland, Denmark | April 19, 2013 Visited this pub lots of times, and it´s almost a must to go for a fish and chips and an Old Brewery Best Bitter, whenever I am in London with my parents :-). The pub has a very cost, relaxed atmosphere, the staff are very friendly and it seems people come here to have a good time and meet up with friends. Beers are in good condition, the food is traditionel pub menu, and it is rather cheep, baring in mind where this pub is placed.. And we will be back next time, we all go to London.. | 64 AMBIANCE 3/5 SERVICE 6/10 SELECTION 8/15 FOOD N/A VALUE 9/10 OVERALL 15/20 Pubman79 (14) London, England | September 21, 2011 A decent sam smith in a very central location | 62 AMBIANCE 4/5 SERVICE 6/10 SELECTION 8/15 FOOD 5/10 VALUE 7/10 OVERALL 13/20 kwik-lime (36) London, England | February 17, 2013 Fairly nice Sam Smith’s, less scruffy than many, very packed with tourists near Trafalgar Square. | 62 AMBIANCE 3/5 SERVICE 7/10 SELECTION 9/15 FOOD N/A VALUE 9/10 OVERALL 12/20 BlackHaddock (228) , England | March 29, 2012 Typical Sam Smiths pub, but in tourist area London. Old Brewery Bitter the only cask beer (as normal in Sam Smiths), but plenty of keg beers of theirs to try and bottles of course.
I was in there on the Saturday of The Boat Race, so lots of Posh Toffs in the place. That however was countered by a huge number of Grimsby Town football fans who had just had a photo shoot and sing song in Trafalgar Square, a 100 metres down the road. The place was rammed, but the staff managed very well and everyone including the staff, appeared to be enjoying themselves.
Still a very cheap drinking hole, just like all Sam Smiths pubs. I have used it again when it wasn’t Boat Race Day, but it was still busy because of its location and prices.
| 58 AMBIANCE 2/5 SERVICE 7/10 SELECTION 7/15 FOOD N/A VALUE 8/10 OVERALL 13/20 Leighton (390) London, England | January 13, 2012 A Sam Smith house with all the usual beers but perhaps not all the usual character most S. Smith pubs have. Typically damn busy in the evenings with youngsters and tourists. Beers are cheap as per the S. Smith standard. This place doesn’t come close to comparing with The Harp, which is just a two-minute walk east. If you’re desperate for beer and The Harp [for whatever reason] isn’t an option, you can come here instead. | 56 AMBIANCE 4/5 SERVICE 7/10 SELECTION 6/15 FOOD N/A VALUE 8/10 OVERALL 11/20 Sigmund (113) Tau, Norway | March 21, 2011 Samuel Smith’s pubs are fairly nice, and this one is no exception (even more so as it is now smoke free) - as long as you accept the choice of 1 - one - cask ale, and several beers from the SS range on keg or bottle. | 48 AMBIANCE 3/5 SERVICE 6/10 SELECTION 6/15 FOOD N/A VALUE N/A OVERALL 9/20 KyotoLefty (350) Kyoto, Japan | August 7, 2011 Ok place off Trafalgar Square. Nothing special, but you can pop in for the usual Samuel Smith line. |
