Visited 30/06/26. Visited previously 20/08/18.
No cask. Keg offering of Guinness, Leffe Blonde, Doom Bar, Aspall, Staro, Madri, Tiny Rebel Easy Livin, Pravha, Alpacalypse and Neck Oil.
Corner venue on Drury Lane, bare boarded with the bar counter on the rear wall in the front part of the venue. Some tall stool seating at the bar counter, tall stool seating at the ledge in the front window on Drury Lane and some tall tables with tall stools down the windows on the side street side. There is a banquette and multiple small stools around a table in the rear corner but standing on the pavements outside, or sitting at the tall tables on tall stools, on both pavement sides is the point of being here in anything other than inclement weather. There is an upstairs seating area in a single room with its own bar counter, but it was closed on my early evening, mid-week visit.

Indeed, this should not be confused with the Sun Tavern around the corner in Long Acre. A first in here the other night into what is a small mid-Victorian corner pub which from the photos, has an attractive array of hanging baskets, replete with colourful pants in summer.
The interior is part bare brick and that which isn’t is painted pale grey. Furniture comprises fairly modern high tables and chairs and the bar is quite modern with a metal top and wooden planking to the front. Sport played on a TV, thankfully with the sound down.
Ales: one unused pump, thereafter just Fuller’s London Pride at a cheap £2.20 a half and not in great condition.
This pub may be cheap – certainly for Covent Garden – but the lack of ale choice, quality and uninspiring interior mean that I’m unlikely to return.
Closed on Sundays (ironically).

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Sun
One of those really small corner pubs that somehow keep going, and although close to Covent Garden it is off the main tourist track. 'Refurbished' at some stage in a limited way, with a limited amount of furniture inside and only standing space out on the pavement. Pride and Sharp's Atlantic (£4.50) available from the pair of handpumps. NB - Not to be confused with the Sun Tavern very close by in Long Acre.
