Quite a good little traditional boozer, tucked away just off Marylebone High Street. The corner position lets lots of light in through the large windows to illuminate a predominantly red painted interior with lots of original feature.
A decent pint of Pride was available on our visit early on New Years Eve, much to our delight after trying to buy beer in a couple of other pubs, only to find that they had sold out.
This pub aparently has a good old London sing song on a Friday night with music provided by a pianist on the pub upright.
Good for the simple fact that it had beer in a very beer deprived part of town.

A small, traditional street corner boozer in the heart of Marylebone. The interior décor is unremarkable and perhaps a little past it’s best, but it’s a pleasant enough, no frills sort of pub.
The dual aspect leaded windows have some squares of stained glass and the floor is carpeted. There is green velvet bench seating around the walls together with a few round tables and chairs, and more green velvet on the bar stools. There was little decoration on the walls another than a couple of paintings of a sunny Mediterranean scene and a royal portrait. Some other notices on the walls seem to suggest regular music nights, although these may have been just for decoration. There was a small TV up in the corner, but this was not on when we visited. Barman seemed friendly enough.
Beers on tap were Wychwood Paddy’s Tout, St. Austell Tribute and York Brewery’s First Light. There was also a pump for London Pride, although this was off on our visit. The solitary cider was Strongbow unfortunately.

Small unpretentious corner pub well described by the previous reviewers below.
It's a former Carrington’s pub, and has some nice interior features such as the mahogany back bar patterned mirror, but the strange colour scheme will not be to every ones taste.
Same three beers on as below and the Tribute was excellently kept.
Will definitely drop in again when next in the Marylebone area.

This is a nice boozer and although it was quiet on my visit it was still an enjoyable experience. The barman was extremely friendly and my Guinness was well served. Pride, Tribute and Brakspear bitter were all available along with a very limited standard draught selection.
There is a piano against the wall which was covered up, but there were posters on the walls advertising sing along nights on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights which I'd imagine are great fun. I had to make do with some hits of the 80's being played through the speakers, but it was at a good volume. I spotted a portable TV up on the wall, but I didn't see any sport advertisements which was no surprise as this pub is about drinking and socialising.
I‘d have no hesitation in returning here.

Straightforward single room street corner pub with a central bar. Ornate bar back with etched mirrors and the brass golden eagle keeping an eye on things. A collection of Toby Jug style teapots sits on a shelf over the bar. Mainly cast iron three legged circular tables plus a drinking shelf. Some stools at the bar. The former local street sign "Marylebone Lane W1" forms part of the decor. All woodwork including the bar is painted what I can only describe as magenta, but it does not detract.
A very welcoming quiet oasis from the madness of Oxford St, Pride, Tribute and Brakspears Bitter yesterday.

Traditional corner London boozer with no nonsense old school guvnor, carpetted throughout, wood tables, cushioned wall banquettes & stools with heavy cast iron bases, attractive lead light windows, highlighted with some stained glass work. Pride, Brakspears, & Tribute in very good nick. I always think that well tended hanging baskets indicate a good attitude of care for the pub, usually reflected in the quality of the ales – a theory borne out again here. Simple, down to earth, we all liked it. Nice, also, to see some independent shops still trading nearby along Marylebone La.

This is quite an old-fashioned little corner pub tucked away along Marylebone Lane between Wigmore St and Baker St. It was unusually quiet for a weekday lunchtime with only me and five other punters in. Some rather attractive leaded lights in the windows look original, and give the impression of a traditional pub. Seating comprises some tall stools round the bar, a few smallish round tables with small stools and settles against the wall. “Only” Tribute and Pride on when I was in there, but the Tribute was pretty good. I rather liked this simple unpretentious pub, and will happily drop in again when in the area.

Looks a lot better outside than what it does inside.Not a lot of atmosphere and could do with a bit of a refurb.Three real ales on.
