There didn't appear to be any food offered on [[Ewan]]'s visit (though an anonymous commenter tells us they do offer food, but only at lunchtimes), but there was a range of bar snacks including large jars of various nuts, sold at competitive prices (50p for a bowl of peanuts, 70p for cashews, £1 for wasabi nuts). |

According to a commenter (April 2009), there are "Jazz and Magic" nights every other Wednesday, with the magician performing between sets, as well as regular comedy nights. |

Comment added by Anonymous: Just a small amendment to add - Grosvenor Arms does indeed sell food, however at present it's only a Lunch menu. All the food is cooked fresh on the premises. Reasonably wide selection with decent prices for the area. Comment added by Jackson5: great Jazz & Magic nights every other Wednesday at this place. Esther Hendricks and a great trio play along with a top Magician from the Magic Circle doing some neat tricks inbetween sets. Great !!! Comment added by Katmandu: I was there a few weeks back and they had a comedy night - apparently it's on quite regularly - hosted by Mixt Nutz. Bloody hilarious act - Brian Damage & Krystall on that night -they were great ! |

A well-kept pub situated just off New Bond Street.
The narrow facade of this pub conceals a relatively decent place for a drink in Mayfair. Square tables dot the smallish space, with a few larger ones by the front windows. In summer, there are also a couple of small tables just outside on the street. There are stairs to what is presumably an upstairs function room.
The bar offers three handpulls for ale, with regulars being Fuller's London Pride and Timothy Taylor's Landlord, as well as a guest ale of Black Sheep Bitter (£3.20/pint) on an April 2009 visit. Standard lagers include Beck's Vier and Staropramen. Given the area, prices are reasonable.
There doesn't appear to be any food offered, but a range of bar snacks includes large jars of various nuts, sold at competitive prices (50p for a bowl of peanuts, 70p for cashews, £1 for wasabi nuts).
The drawbacks of this pub are no different from any other serving this affluent area (particularly on a Friday after work), but mostly the Grosvenor is fairly sensible, with decent prices. It's probably as good a place to drink as any hereabouts.
