Historical version 7 of Old Coffee House, W1F 9SF (view current version)

Pub on Beak Street in Soho.

The drinking area is all on one level, with smaller tables around the side and at the front, and larger tables with leather banquettes at the back, under a TV screen showing sport. Toilets are downstairs.

Kake and friends went for a drink here in July 2007 on the strength of the "real ales from our own micro brewery" advertised on the sign outside — sadly, said real ales were not in evidence, though they did have Wadworth 6X, Harveys Sussex Best, and Marston Pedigree. In October 2008, beers were Pedigree, Bombardier and Brodies IPA (£2.90/pint), which ran out while Ewan was there. There's a wine list as well, with all wines priced exactly the same (£4.40 for a large glass, £13 for a bottle), and was perfectly drinkable.

Kake was there in the late evening, and it was low-lit and rather shabby in a Soho kind of way. It was a Tuesday, and not very busy. On Ewan's visit on a Thursday evening in October 2008, all the tables were taken not long after 5pm and the place only got more busy and crowded throughout the evening.

Food is served noon-3pm Monday to Saturday.
