Historical version 7 of Round Table, WC2N 4AL (view current version)

Pub hidden in an alleyway by Leicester Square Station.

Its location means that it's probably the least crowded pub in the area, though it can still end up being "standing room only". There's a room upstairs with additional seating, but on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings this is reserved for comedy acts. There is some seating outside in the alley, too.

Kake visited on a Wednesday afternoon in April 2008; arriving at 3pm, I was almost the only person in the pub, but people started arriving around 5pm and by 7pm the place was packed. It was a bit weird early on, since it's not really the kind of pub that feels right when it's empty, if that makes sense. Very quiet background music earlier in the day, which was either switched off or drowned out by conversation later on.

They have four handpulls. Beers available on the April 2008 visit were London Pride (£2.96/pint), Bombardier, Greene King IPA, Old Peculier (£3.09/pint). On a January 2009 visit, it was just London Pride and Exmoor Hart.

They do food - I think all day but Kake can't be sure. Also haven't tried the food in many years, but a menu seen outside in April 2008 had mostly fairly standard pub food, with burgers priced between £6.50 and £7.50 (including a "breaded falafel burger" at £6.50) and mains priced between £5.25 (pasta salad) and £8 (8oz rump steak with all the trimmings). They also offer a couple of sharing platters - antipasto or "Eastern" (curry-themed) - which are available after 3pm and cost £8.75 each.

There might be free wireless. Ladies' loos are upstairs on the first floor and gents' are downstairs in the basement.
