Coach & Horses, WC2

GBG entry, so I was here to get my tick. A locals pub in the heart of Covent Garden - complete with dog walkers. Amazing. Irish pub with plenty of whiskies, "the best Guinness in London" and a decent pint of Tribute. Only other ale was Adnams. Visit blogged at http://bit.ly/2kkezym

No real ale of any type for my visit. Had to have Guinness instead. This is an Irish type bar which did nothing for me.

A perfectly good boozer and one I would be happy to use on a regular basis apart from the restricted beer choice mentioned in the last couple of reviews.

A compact and traditional looking pub in the heart of Covent Garden with etched glass windows to the front, although it’s not overtly an Irish themed pub it does nonetheless appear to have some Irish influences and a notice outside proclaimed that they had won some award or other for serving the best pint of Guinness. Internally it didn’t quite have the same appeal as many pubs in the vicinity, although there was certainly nothing wrong with it. Seating is fairly limited due to the available space and this was predominantly stools around the perimeter where there was a wooden shelf with a mirrored backdrop to rest your pint, and stools at the bar which made getting there to order somewhat difficult. Carpet covered the floor and there was some interesting carved plasterwork on the ceiling. A number of photographs were on the wall, mostly either old black and white ones or sports teams, and there was a large Guinness mirror. Beers on tap were just Courage Best and Tribute whilst the solitary cider was Strongbow, unfortunately. There were apparently though around 70 different whiskies available if that’s more your thing.

Small old style pub handy for the Royal opera house. 2 real ales.

Tiny pub near theatres & opera house. Small bar & food servery on the left as you enter. Stools around the outside of the room, no room for any other type of chairs. Various perching posts around. Very small and traditional. Spitfire & Courage beers, rather standard, but of high quality. Pub is worth a visit.
