Though I only recently found The Carlisle Arms, it's become a regular haunt thanks to its friendly staff, and great atmosphere. appeals to a huge variety of customers, with music covering almost every style, but never too loud to disrupt a conversation, which is a very big plus for me! great location, just far enough off the main roads but still in the midst and diversity of Soho. all the big games on two beautiful new screens so football and rugby fans do not miss out! thoroughly recommended. will see you there :)
This is exactly what a traditional boozer should be like, and just what Soho needs in the midst of a lot of plastic places. Nice selection of drinks, lots of seats, clean toilets and really great, smiley staff who are always ready to go the extra mile for their customers. There is one barman there called Andrew who is a particularly fine example of this, and takes particular interest in cleanliness of glasses while always maintaining a genuine smile. Nice range of customers too, which makes all the difference. Really love this place.
