Unusual for the West End of London in that it is a free house, this compact but welcoming pub consists of a ground floor bar, with a few tables at the front and the rear and plenty of vertical drinking space with shelves for glasses and a few high stools in between, and another room upstairs, which used to be used as a restaurant. The traditional feel of the place is enhanced by an attractive back bar and wall mirroring with a partly lino covered wooden floor downstairs and a most unusual old leather-fronted bar upstairs.

Three real ales are generally expected to be available. This is a popular pub at lunchtimes and pre- and post-theatre and, in common with other West End pubs, security may be at the door later in the evening.

Reported to be card payments only with cash not accepted.

Historic Interest

The pub dates from 1738, taking its name from its location on what was then called Queen’s Street, renamed Denman Street in 1862 in honour of a Lord Chief Justice born there. In the 1840s it was known as the Courier’s Club, trading in wine, brandy and coal. Later, reduced in size, it became part of the Piccadilly Theatre site.
