Good Beer Guide pub in Soho, on the corner of Greek Street and Manette Street. It's fairly small so can get quite crowded post-work, though it empties out significantly later on; we were here on a Monday night and when we left at 9pm the place was almost empty.

Beers available on our visit were Adnams Broadside (£2.75/pint) and Regatta, Wells Bombardier, Deuchars IPA, and Theakstons Old Peculier.

Food served noon-4pm, 5pm-9pm every day.

There have been concerns voiced on the London.pm mailing list about the excessive volume of the music, but on our most recent visit (a Monday) it wasn't too bad; so maybe they've actually been listening to all the people asking if it could be turned down. Nick warns of a potentially noisy DJ on Wednesdays.

Accessibility: It isn't very accessible, really. Very little room to manoeuvre, and the toilets are down a narrow staircase (although there is a handrail).

Other reviews (there was a change of landlord somewhere around early 2007, so don't put too much store in any reviews written prior to this):
