More a modern bar than a pub,this sits on a street corner and has large picture windows giving lots of light internally.There are a whole series of dining type tables infront of the entrance and the bar,many will have reserved signs as food here is clearly popular.To the left is more of a drinking area with high tables and chairs.Towards the back to the left side of the bar there is an L shaped bench in green velour.
There were three flatscreens showing the Six Nations,so there was a more lively atmosphere even though there were diners.
At the bar three handpumps were dispencing Harvey's Sussex Best,Sharp's Doom Bar and a decent St Austell Tribute (NBSS 3).Not an exciting line up ,but sufficient.However I can't imagine a revisit,there are so many identikit places like this in the West End.

A large pub with a black exterior which looks a bit posh from outside, although this is refuted by a large sports screen overlooking proceedings when you go in. It has a modernised designer-type interior with high tables and benches in the middle, dining tables to one side and a curiously-padded lower level down in the corner. Ales were 6X, Tribute and Doom Bar.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Bonds
Although close to Oxford Street and New Bond Street, this Stonegate venue is in a quiet spot and doesn't really stand out as a pub (unlike the Duke of York opposite) until you get quite close due to the austere dark paintwork on the façade. The interior is quite conventional, apart from a seating area down a half-flight of stairs in the outer corner on the way down to a smaller basement bar to a part-time counter. The semi-modern furniture and decor is smart but certainly not upmarket as one might expect in this part of town. Three real ales on handpump: Doom Bar and Atlantic from Sharp's plus Wadworth 6X (£4.65, although a pound more expensive on a Friday night apparently).

One main room with bar to the rear and a lower area to the left. Also rooms to the right. Three weak real ales and many craft items. Also lots of TVs.

Bonds is a modern upmarket bar that is on a narrow street.
I did'nt like the look or name of this bar but i thought i would give it a try.
Once inside there were a few different drinking areas and most of the seating was comfortable leather settees,once i got to the bar i was surprised to see two handpumps on it and both had real ales on i had a drink of Youngs bitter and this was a decent well kept pint the other beer was London Pride.
The bar was very quiet on my early Saturday dinner visit and i was quite happy and relaxed having a drink in here.
