I chose this pub for a winding down evening drink after a day's crawling in Belgravia, Victoria and Whitehall, encouraged by Quinno's review from two years ago. A Sam Smiths pub just off Oxford Street, it had just the right relaxed atmosphere on a mid-evening mid-week, with a nice welcome from the manager, a number of drinkers in small groups dotted around, and a pretty good Old Brewery Best Bitter. In fact, so good I stayed for a second pint and even came back the next evening. On my second visit it was a little later in the evening and just a little livelier, but never approaching raucous. I was staying at the youth hostel in Noel Road, the other side of the main drag and just five minutes walk from this pub. I'll certainly be back if staying there again.

A simple single room boozer with varnish panelling, leaded windows, tiled entrance floor and a deep plum ceiling – just the right side of austere. Darts available and was being enthusiastically played by a group of lads on our Friday mid-afternoon visit. If you are in search of comforts, the upstairs lounge is very plush with a roaring fire. Cask OBB is available here and I tried one, really good nick it was too (NBSS 4). It’s not one of the more stunning examples of the Sam’s London estate but is a fair stop-off, nonetheless.

A return visit to this late Victorian pub after at least 25 years and no surprise, nothing has changed though I can't remember if this was a Sam Smith's outlet at that time though given the location, chances are it probably was.
A traditional, basic yet atmospheric interior with around three conventional tables and thereafter high stools and ledges; there's a dartboard though it's not exactly in a 'safe' area.
Old Brewery Bitter was on pump and it was...OBB - not great, drinkable and nothing more.
If this pub were in different ownership with a good ale selection this could be a fine place but as such, it's ok. The trouble is, that this corner of London is Sam Smith's Central.
