It's a great little find this pub, an Irish themed bar close to Soho Square. Stumbled across by accident with a group of work friends on a night out and it turned out to be a great night out. Upstairs is a little small and can get crowded on Friday nights, but makes up for it with the area downstairs where there are a couple of pool tables and space to move around. Prices are average for the area and besides Guiness, they do have a varied selection of beverages on offer. Would recommend as a place to meet up for early drinks and move on once its gets too crowded.

I went here for after work drinks one night on a Friday and it was ridiculously crowded - to the point of being uncomfortable. We ended up huddled in the corner being knocked into every time someone wanted to get by shouting disjointed conversations at each other. However on a quieter night I like the idea of the pub. It is potentially a dark, cosy, charming wooden boozer with quite a lot of character. Either I got a bad day - or maybe I am missing the point - an Irish bar in Soho is never going to be a relaxing haven is it? As a meeting point I would still recommend it, just be prepared to have Guinness knocked down your front!
