The Three Greyhounds, Soho, W1

The first thing that hits you about this recently renovated mock Tudor pub is that it looks 3 times larger from the outside than it is when you walk in – a sort of reverse Tardis effect. The interior is dimly lit with dark floors and walls. The compactness of the pub makes it quite intimate but they try to use every available bit of space (note the small shelf around the pillar in the middle of the pub). The customer base is largely office workers and the pub comes over as a bit more civilized than most of the others in the area. Part of the Nicholsons chain that seem to be revamping their products as well as their pubs. The Greyhound has an extensive range of changing guest beers (they keep a tally of how many pass through). One novel touch is that all the bitters are all served in old style dimpled tankards. They also do a reasonably priced wine selection and a decent food menu. Given the amount of times I drink in the area I am surprised that I have not been here before but it certainly won't be long before I return

This is a great little pub that serves a wide selection of beers and is well worth a visit. I also think that the bar staff should cheer up and not think of it as a major favour that they are doing for you when they serve a drink… It's their job!

Small single bar Soho pub that gets packed at lunchtime, especially with tourists.At least four real ales on and the one I tried was perfect.
